Remember
this frogging incident. Well, along with this gorgeous, green Bamboo Wool, this Noro Silk Garden #87 will become (with the help of a few more skeins on the way) a
Poppy Sweater. When this sweater first came out, I was a bit meh about it. But on closer look the style is just the type I need. Good ol' V neck. The best part was swapping some yarn that had yellow in it hehe..for the book!

It was a hard decision to either highlight the mauve or darker blue colors..I finally decided on the green. Funny thing is they had the wild caribbean blue, but ick...I don't look good in that color at all...like it and if it was for my feet, I'd go for it...but my body..um..nope!
Stay tuned...

Ditto what Java said! I don't see that sweater done enough!
I love the green with that Silk Garden. I'll probably see your version of poppy and have to knit one too. It's going to be great!
Diggin' the color combo. Can't go wrong with green!
Excellent color combination. Can't wait to see how it knits up.
Oh those colors are great together!
Oooohhhhh - it's going to be awesome!!! Good choice on the green, I think.
Ooo, that is going to be a gorgeous Poppy!
That's going to look fantastic! The green in the Moda Dea yarn works perfectly with the green in the Noro. I can't wait to see your progress!
I SEE YELLOW! Poking right outta the middle of that skein. Hee! You can't escape it! It's going to be pretty.
Those colors are going to be wonderful together!
That's a cool sweater... I like the colors you picked.
That's going to make a beautiful Poppy sweater!
That's going to be gorgeous in those colors! I was initially "meh" about the pattern as well, but I saw one freshly completed at SPA this weekend and IT.IS.BEAUTIFUL and very flattering. It's going on my queue.
That's going to be awesome! Man, I really have to find my pieces o' Poppy and get it out of hibernation.
Ooo, those will look beautiful together! Love the green!
