Whenworn around the neck, it willscrunch up but all 4 colors canstill be seen. I’m very pleasedwith the end result and happythat I could make good use ofthe leftover yarn.Knitting with Odette has beenan extremely pleasant and verysurprising experience. The waythis yarn adapts to differentgauges using various needlesizes, what I refer to as thechameleon factor, was verysurprising indeed. But also, theyardage a single 1.75oz [50g]skein yields. The way the yarnpuffs up when knit at a loosergauge produces a light fabricwith a lovely drape. Originally,I thought that the muted,heathery colors of Odette maynot do the Olympia Pulloverjustice, but I was wrong. Theyare beautiful together.Funnel Shaped Cowl made with left over Odetteyarn from the Olympia Pullover.I hope this feature hasencouraged you to try newor challenging projects. Thereare so many techniques, stitchpatterns, and color work designsavailable to us knitters. If youhaven’t tried it before, try it now.There’s a wealth of knowledgeavailable at your fingertips; youcan call a friend, ask the designer,reference an online tutorial, orGoogle it to find a world ofYouTube videos to show you how.Sounds a little like “Who Wants tobe a Millionaire”, doesn’t it?I’ve really enjoyed working withUniversal Yarn Odette.
