I love the Cestari yarn! I’ve not had a chance to use it yet myself but have fondled some a friend was using.
That Kepler pattern is gorgeous! I think my daughter would like that, so perhaps I’ll make her one in the future.

I finally got to pick out my yarn!! It’s been ordered and I’ll have to wait for it to be shipped… KSH in Majestic.

Another great thing about Cestari yarns is their natural aversion to felting. According to Chester Farm the sheep are bred so their wool will naturally not felt or shrink. In my experiences it isn’t 100% but it can definately go in the washing machine on cold.

Are you planning on making any alterations to Kepler? I like the concept of the sweater (the cable on the hem and cuff) but I’m not sure I like the execution.
I’m just wondering:
are you planning on doing waist shaping?
three quarter length sleeves?
keeping it somewhat cropped?
Just trying to get my head around the design, or at least what you have planned for it.

Revel looks quite similar (Rowan Yorkshire Tweed)to the blackberry colour on my monitor or is it my eyes?! I’m trying not to print off Kepler at the moment…oh the slippery road to startitus.

I’m confused why you keep looking at DK weight yarns for Kepler… isn’t it done in Shetland Heather at 4 st/inch? I just don’t want you to buy the wrong yarn and be frustrated and have added to the stash in vain!

Sock two looks really nice. I agree about Kepler — it’s really gorgeous. I am also trying to stay motivated to work on my current projects and not add any more. We’ll see how long that lasts
