Test Knit

 I'm doing a test knit for Beth Macdonald Stone for her Bermy Basic 28 that will be coming out the first of May!  I am super excited about this pattern and am a fan of Beth for sure.  She is designing the Bermy Basic in lots of gauges which is so cool!  Be sure and check them out on Ravelry.

I tried really hard to knit out of PYS for it, but after a couple of starts, decided to go to my local yarn shop, The Fiber Universe and see if anything grabbed me.  I came up with these two that were sitting together on the rack, and after some deliberation, thought I would give them a try.

I didn't know what or how I was going to incorporate them together in the sweater, I wanted something different than everyone else was doing.  I had thought of just big blocks of stripes ala another sweater I knit a couple of years back, but still wanted something a bit different.  I really didn't know what until I was finished with the neck rib.

Then, it sort of hit me!  How about different size stripes?  Hmmm, how about Fibonacci?!  I had a bit about it some years back, but never really delved into it at all.  I knew it was a Math thing, and I really intensely dislike Math (even though I use it all the time in knitting), and have ever since grade school when the new Math came out and I remember crying that I would never get it!!!  And high school Algebra wasn't much better!

So, I went to the handy dandy internet and came up with a site that I could understand and voila!

I am having so much fun with this knit, I don't want to put it down!!  

Have a good weekend!!!
