Vortex Street Pullover (knit along)

It was hard to pick a sweater in Knitting Nature to start with... I really love a bunch of them.

I'm 4 rows into the back of this sweater using Jo Sharp Silkroad tweed DK in emporio:

I plan to switch off between this sweater and my other WIPS. So much to knit so little time :)

Here is a scarf I knit up from some of my handspun:

I cast on 15 stitches onto size 11 Addi Turbos and did k5, p5, k5 for 5 rows then swiched colors. So it's just wide ribs. It's yummy merino but way too hot out to wear scarves for many months :)
