What a beautiful sweater! Such a shame you can’t wear it! I love that golden color, but I think you should go with gray so you can wear it all the time!
I like gold especially for fall! What about berroco weekend? I don’t know if it will work with that pattern but I love the feel of it and how it hangs!
Gold because its different and I think it would amazing!!!!
ahh..good recommendation! I forgot about that option! I love madelinetosh, but that would be much more cost effective…the other reason I am hesitating with madelinetosh is the color variations between skeins on this large of a project. I also thought of Quince and co – but no color is hitting me over the head ;)
I know vintage has some incredible color choices….and Webs is calling my name!
I am really loving this pattern and think I may be copying you. I really loved knitting with Berocco Vintage Chunky. I made Jaidens owl sweater with it and I don’t think it’s too itchy. Also it doesn’t pill much either. I would do grey ( of course :) )
You would look amazing in the gold….and you can wear it with many colors!
Katie, you know me, it is the golden for sure!!
I’ve had trouble finding non-itchy chunky yarns that don’t pill. I am always on the hunt for great chunky yarns!!
As for color, I think golden yellow is the bolder choice. When working with my oil paints Yellow Ochre is actually one of the key base colors used for mixing and achieving various tones. I think the color will go with a lot more than one would think and be a great staple piece! :)
Katie that sweater is sooo gorgeous! I love gold for Fall! They are both your colors.
Quince and Co Osprey has been used by a lot of people on ravelry as well. I have some and it is surprisingly soft for wool. I’m debating knitting Aidez or Solstice with it. They’ve got some nice yellows like Carrie’s Yellow. Or Chanterelle is a nice grey. In Vintage, I think sunny is close to your yellow and would be really nice. Now I’m inspired!

Both colors are beautiful! Maybe consider Madelinetosh Chunky? Don’t know what your budget is, but that is some gorgeous yarn. I love my Aidez, too – which I knit in the Eco Wool – but I use it more as a fall/spring jacket, which works with that woolly, woolly yarn!
