A holey issue

So last night, late, C and I were in the living room when we heard a tremendous racket from the vicinity of the garage. C cautiously opened the door to the garage to find...

nothing. All looked well.

As we went to leave for lunch today, we discovered the problem. The garage door wouldn't open and lo and behold, the spring was broken. I should have recognized the sound. In our old house, the spring broke the day our house went on the market.

Our garage door is now working fine, btw.

C's sweater got attention from me tonight. I worked the arm hole decreases for the front. After C went to bed, I got on Ravelry to research my latest love, Yosemite.

The minute I saw it, I wanted it. Lightweight means I can actually wear it most of the year and the styling on it is very pretty. I purchased some really beautiful yarn, wound one hank to swatch with, and got this:

This is at gauge. 32 stitches over 4 inches, unstretched. I had to go down to size 3 needles for this, and the recommended needle size is 7, so I am a little befuddled. I usually have to go up two needle sizes, not down four. This is aran weight yarn, which is a light worsted, but I was still expecting it to work. It's been drying for 24 hours now and it isn't quite dry, but it is dry enough. The yarn in Classic Elite Flash in Lily Pad and yes, I know I skipped a twist stitch. Hopefully that won't happen often on the real deal.

Thing is, this is a very stretchy stitch pattern and the top is designed to fit snuggly, with a negative ease. That means it will stretch somewhat over my curves, what curves they are, and therein lies the dilemma:

Them are holes in that that there swatch. When stretched, it isn't exactly opaque.

Sigh. i know I can probably get away with a nude bra under it and no ill effects, but I am leery of taking the risk. I like this yarn unstretched. I like the stitch definition and the slight sheen. it's very splitty yarn, as it is three tightly twisted strands loosely plied together, but I can deal with splitty if I like the end result.

I'm just not sure I can deal with the slightly see-through quality.

I can return all of the Flash except for the one skein I wound to swatch from. But I just really don't want to start over with new yarn. Ugh. I was hoping to start this tomorrow, but I guess this is just the way it is. I'll keep working on C's sweater until I can investigate my options.
