To start off...I have another finished knit. Yes...she has cables. I just love them!! Take a look…

Here she is cleaned and drying...almost ready for her debut.



Ready for anything

A close up of the beautiful wooden toggles.
Project...Cabled Latte from VK Holiday 2004
Yarn...Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Aran in color #2794 Garlic
Needles...US 4 and 5 Inox circulars
Mods...I really didn’t do anything major, only very minor adjustments. I went down quite a few needles sizes as I wanted her a little more fitted, but ended up getting perfect gauge. I moved the buttons down on the sweater as I know that I will never button it up at the neck. I made icord button loops. These are wonderful, sturdy and they look great also.
I am very pleased with this cardigan. She is very cozy and comfortable. The cables stand out amazingly well on this yarn. I’m a happy camper!!

Works in Progress…
I’m knitting Eunny Jang’s Endpaper Mitts…




I’m knitting these because for one, I love them. I’m also getting some practice on my Fair Isle technique for my next BIG project (more about that in a bit)
Did you notice the right mitt? Here’s a little story. When I first met my DH, he always called me Ei (e i, not i) He even designed a necklace for my first birthday that I shared with him that is an EI with a diamond chip. I LOVE it. It was sooo special because he thought it out and was from his heart. Well I loved my little nickname and it stuck for years. Then not hearing it for a long while, I met Heather (Spacetricot on Ravelry) and she started calling me that. Well anyway, I decided that I wanted my Endpaper mitts to be special & I think adding the Ei to them makes them perfectly unique. I’m happy with how it turned out. Now, it is not a major design, but this is only the beginning!!!  I’m using Hand Jive Knits Nature’s Palette Fingering yarn in colors #113 (Walnut) & #114 (Chocolate) Fabulous yarn!!

Next up is ...

This is called the Twisted Stitch Cap. It is designed by Meg Swansen and is from the Vogue Knitting American Collection. I love the different cables in this. Every stitch is a twisted. It definitely makes it harder...but is is going to be one beautiful hat! I’m using Rowan Pure Wool DK in Black. It is lovely to work with.

Future knit projects (within the next 2 weeks)…


This is the Fitted Jacket with Embroidery from Norsk Strikkedesign. This is such a beautiful book. I have been wanting to knit this jacket for a long time now. Well...it is going to become a reality.

I also want to knit this…

This is Flicca by Anna Bell. I just think this is such a cool sweater coat. It is made with a chunky yarn...perfect for our winter weather. I’m using Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Chunky in color #551 String

UPDATE…

I finished these up last night! They are pretty darn cute!

I think thats it for now…
Enjoy the rest of your day...ours is a snowy one!
