Working on my Wyvern

The right front of my Wyvern Wrap (size small) has been growing at a good clip; I'm almost finished with the side shaping increases, and soon will cast on stitches for the right sleeve.  I'm having a nagging fear that the sleeve, which is essentially a drop sleeve, may end up being too snug for this style, at a circumference of 13 1/2 inches for my size.  I think this fear will be best addressed by knitting a little farther, so I can see how the sleeve looks and feels.

I went into my stash for the yarn:  Filatura di Crosa "Trilly," 50% silk and 50% cashmere, which swatched for me at the same gauge as the Kollage Yarns "Yummy" (merino and silk) called for in the pattern.  The Trilly has a nice tight twist--not the slightest bit of pilling or fuzzing, at least so far--and a silvery green color which reminds me of the leaves of an olive tree--beautiful.  I love the texture of the unblocked fabric, but the wrap isn't going to fit me if I leave it that way!

Cool! The color of the Trilly looks very similar to the Kollage that you used for the baby sample. I'm usually leery of dolman styled sleeves for adult sweaters -- I'm very sensitive to bulkiness under the arm. I will be *very* interested in seeing how your sweater comes out! :)

I'm so happy to see you knitting this! I bought the pattern the second it cam out & have been watching Ravelry to see other braver knitters' FOs before I start!

The texture in this is so beautiful, and the color is lovely and very fitting.
