What can I say...I have been too busy with Ravelry for my blog...BAD girl! Keeping up with a blog takes a lot of time (I’m a slow poster), but with the two...now it’s twice the amount of time. Blah, blah, blah...anyway here we go.

I have a FO. It is the Tangled Yoke Cardigan!!! I LOVE this sweater!!! Simple but elegant! Here she is…



Pattern...Tangled Yoke Cardigan by Eunny Jang from IK Fall 2007
Yarn...Rowan Felted tweed in the color Phantom
Needles...US 0, 1 and 3 (this was just for the garter stitch rib at the hips by mistake...then I switched to the US 1. It worked out though)
Mods...I made the sleeves 1 3/4 inches longer than the pattern. I"m glad I did.
I was really worried about the fit of this one as she calls for a size 5 needle and I had to use a US 1 to get gauge. It worked though and I have learned that it doesn’t matter what needle size you have to use to get gauge...what ever it is...just do it! The fit is perfect. I love the construction of this sweater. This is my first time knitting a sweater in the round (no seaming...Woohoo!!) loved the cable (adds just the right touch)...the hardest part for me was having to pick up stitches for the neckband and doing the 3 needle bind off ( I think it was because you are supposed to use the smallest needle to pick up the stitches and I was already using a 1, so they were tight. I made it through the hardest part though.

Newest Knit Project...is...Forecast…



I started this cardigan 11 days ago. Do you think I have been knitting a lot? This is such a cool sweater to knit. This is my first time knitting from the the down. I love, love, love it!!! NO SEAMING. Not that I mind the seaming as I actually enjoy it now. I’m using Cascade 220 in the color #7821. This color is so elegant. It is like a light mocha brown. I am so close to finishing this. I can’t wait till this is done. Sooooo close! I tried it on (the one advantage of knitting from the top) and it is tight!!! I sure hope it is wearable. Only time will tell. I have a little more to go on the sleeve and then on to the button bands. I need to start looking for some pretty buttons...10 of them that is!

Well thats it for now...Have a great day!!!
