Has anyone made this pattern? I am about to start it and I think it is going to be huge. I am going to do it in my Barkarole. They yarn in the pattern has mohair so I am contemplating using a mohair carry along - I have some Karabella lace.

hi Kim -

i made this a long time ago with the valeria di roma capri (acrylic/rayon) from here.

i don`t think it turned out huge, per se.

however, at the time, i didn`t even consider the wisdom of substituting wool/mohair with such a slinky yarn.
the lack of springy-ness in the yarn combined with the horizontal ribbing design down the arms does tend to make them stretch out from their own weight, over the course of an evening.
i don`t expect this would happen with barkarole, tho.
and adding the mohair would be your choice, depending on the look you wanted...

I`ve had this pattern in mind for a while now (and in a fit of vast ambition my daughter bought it at last year`s Stitches)... I`m wondering if this would work in the Highland Silk?

I think it would be really pretty in the Highland Silk.
