I felt a strange urge to try 8 colors of yarn at once, so I was going to attempt the (in)famous Julia Roberts random-striped sweater, but Wool of the Andes really shouldn't be knitted to 4 stitches per inch(unless you like see-through sweaters), and Knitpicks has no heavy worsted weight yarn, so I adapted the stripe pattern to Rowan's Carpenter sweater. Which is a completely sensible sweater. I'm eliminating the eyelet holes on the bottom because I think the drawstring will be too distracting with the stripes(plus it didn't appear to be cinching much of anything on the model) Here's the embryonic sweater back:



Because I lack foresight, I thought, "Oh, these stripes will be so easy! I'll just carry the colors up the side!" But hardly any of the colors finished on the proper side for me to be able to carry the color up to where I needed it again, so I'm stuck with a bazillion yarn ends. Yay. Blame Julia Roberts for making each stripe be an odd number of rows.
