I would consider using your beautiful fall/halloween yarn for vanilla socks instead of lace! The variegation might obscure the lace pattern. Regardless of what you choose, I’m sure it will be great, especially as long as you’re enjoying it :)

The black/white effect of your leaf-colored yarn is called "marled", you'll find other yarns doing something similar with that term. The little splotches of color in the white of the Olga sweater would be "heathered". Tweed would work too as a search term, so if you're not finding something that really Sparks Joy, try searching for heathered yarn.

Hi Jacque! Hope all is well with you. You have said that you have been knitting spring/summer tops and by the time they are finished you only get to wear them a little while before the season changes. Why don’t you knit the spring/summer knits in the fall and winter and the fall/winter knits in the spring and summer. I know it will be hot to knit the winter ones in the summer, but as long as you keep them in that cute little bag you got, it will help. Love your podcasts, keep up the good work! I have to ask, is your day job something to do with fiber? I am also a quilter and love to see all things fiber!
