I have been craving to knit one of these after seeing all the very cute ones out there in blogland. I finally broke down.

I used about 1 1/2 balls of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in color #300102.


I know...my head is slightly chopped off!

I decided that I wanted to add a pretty stitch to the arm edging. This is called the Bead stitch and is from the fabulous book ’Knitting on the Edge’
The fact is that I really needed to knit something easy and quick as I’m waiting for Donna to return from her cruise. We are going to have a cast on party (a little wine, some cheese & crackers, olives) next week for Veer

Remember this…

And a close up…

I held up what I had knit of Wall Street Cables on my DH & it was way too large. I was making the small (41 1/2 in. chest) The ribbing was way too wide and he likes it to fit a little snug at the hips. So...I just restarted the whole thing. I was pretty aggravated after all that cable work. You know you LOVE knitting when you end up redoing what you have already done, all out of love for the hubby. I’m now knitting the extra small and going down a needle size. All I can say is that it better fit him! I would rather it be fitted that way too big.

I saw this on Heather’s blog and I LOVE it…

Lets see...Kidsilk Haze, lace, a cari...a perfect sweater! I have to knit this one! I can’t wait to get the new Holiday Vogue Knitting.

Well...got to go knit Wall Street to catch up to at least where I was. Have a fabulous evening!
