I have settled on Malabrigo Worsted in Lettuce. I love this yarn! It is softer than those commonly used for the CPH but it shows cables beautifully and is so yummy to wear.
I will start to swatch on an 8 while I await the pattern in the mail......I cant wait but it will give me some time to move along on some other UFOs.
I look forward to visiting the KAL and watching everyones progress.
Here is my beautiful Malabrigo.Hayley

I just want to put my two cents in here... I LOVE malabrigo with a passion I can't describe, but I've heard and read that it pills a lot and doesn't wear wonderfully well, so I wanted to give a little heads-up. I am 'green' with envy over your color choice!! (hehe--get it?!?) :-)
I too have read this and seen Malabrigo worn and washed. I like that worn comfy look and dont mind pilling a bit-I will shave if I have to.
My other option was Alpaca Silk which is too soft, so i will give Malabrigo a spin on this CPH.
Thanks for the heads up! If I hate it I will learn- Malabrigo is not too expensive so it wont kill me.
That is a gorgeous color! I'm using Malabrigo for a couple felting projects at the moment and it definitely is one of my favorites! I have no clue how it wears.. you'll have to report back after a while! :)
