Many moons ago, I bought 13 skeins or so of Tahki New Tweed to make Dolman Updated from IK. After three failed attempts at that sweater (including finishing it about 80% of the way twice, and starting completely over) I decided to make the yarn into the Hourglass sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I tried that one twice. Maybe my perseverance is a testament to how nice this yarn is to work with. It's soft, but not cuddly the way a merino is. I finally turned 4 skeins of the yarn into something worthwhile, and even beautiful! A scaled-down scarf version of Cozy. The curse, she is lifted! I was surprised to find that this was not a fast knit. Even with my faster-than-light Continental style that regularly melts my Denise needles into useless gobs of plastic.
