The Drops jacket with shawl collar started out strong but was quickly overtaken by Hey Teach later in the day. I tabulated the scores by giving a full point to the first sweater mentioned and 1/2 point if you had a second choice.
February Lady 5
Hey Teach 9
DROPS 6.5
Ivy 2
And now, let's pick the yarn. I won't give you guys total control over this one because sometimes the yarn decides for itself that it doesn't want to work out. I promise to attempt to use whatever one gets the most votes first.
The pattern calls for a worsted weight cotton. I'm not entirely sure I want it made with cotton and after looking on ravelry, I can see that it looks great in just about any type of worsted weight yarn. So, here is what I have lying around that would fit the bill.
Cascade 220 in turquoise
Cascade 220 in my favorite green
Artful yarns Flora (cotton/rayon blend) in hibiscus
