Here is the Berroco Touche in Green Tea, swatched into Bead Stitch and Four Sisters. For the top swatch I used U.S. size 8 needles, as recommended on the ball band; when I first looked at the yarn and ran it through my fingers, I thought size 8 needles sounded big, so I first tried U.S. size 6 needles (the bottom swatch). That's not a color change in the bottom swatch, just a shadow. I like the results better with the suggested size 8's, so that's what I cast on with for the pullover.
And then I took my knitting and set sail with the family for Nantucket. Next post I'll have some photos from our island weekend, but for now, suffice it say that I got some knitting done in some very pleasant surroundings!
Beautiful swatch, Angela. You'll have a winner I'm sure. And Nantucket? I'm envious. I love Cape Cod. I spent a summer in Woods Hole once (at a neurobiology summer school, yep I'm a big time nerd) in '98. Nice little sleepy town with lots of fresh seafood, yum. Have a good getaway! :)

Now that's a knitting spot! Love the yarn color too.

I love it, that yarn looks much better with that stitch than the Euroflax.

Wow, I'm incredibly jealous of your sailing trip! I love boats.

Holy Moly! Never seen such beautiful toes. (And the swatch is lovely too...)
