I totally support knitting in the round on sweaters like that, some seaming is just plain unnecessary! :) I love that sweater, it is absolutely gorgeous on you!

I echo the sentiment that simpler tends to be more wearable of course, sometimes you just want to challenge yourself with the cables and bobbles galore. That’s a beautiful phildar sweater.

I like heavy contrasts, so I like the medium to dark grey for the swatch. I'd lean towards the medium. Looks beautiful! I like heavy contrasts, so I like the medium to dark grey for the swatch.

Wonderful choice of pattern and yarns. I agree that simple is most wearable. Ditto on shade of grey - the dark or medium ones have more contrast. Congrats! Can't wait to see more of your knits.<br/>- E I love your knits! Wonderful choice of pattern and yarns. I agree that simple is most wearable.

Simple is often best, I agree. For the fair isle I vote for the dove grey. It shows the contrast without being too stark. If you aren't finding one that works for you, maybe the yellow should be switched out. Sometimes I hang on to a shade because I like it in and of itself, when in actuality it doesn't integrate well. Personally, I like the yellow, but maybe it isn't creating the effect you want? The crochet slippers are awesome. I've eyed those for a long time, too! That’s a lovely cardigan, Winnie.
