So, what's new

Yesterday, I finished the body of the thick and thin cardi coat (ravelry link)

I am none to  sure about the ribbing at the bottom of the garment, and am going to opt for the sleeves whist I make up my mind. This project has languished since the initial enthusiasm, and when I picked it up, I remembered why - too many stitches, and only a short needle. The yarn is so big that my usual method of throwing does not hold up. Anyways, at least it is quick, right?

I have also cast on the reversible cabled shawl which is a Lily Chin pattern published in Vogue some time ago. (Rav link here). It is going to take a lot of time to knit up - I bought a kilometer of yarn for it, hoping that will be sufficient. It's a shawl, right? So past a certain point, I'm sure it will be okay. I will beg a little more time before posting a picture for youse all to see. The WIP is not yet really photoworthy.

I have also cast on the sleeves for the Hubster's  winter pullover. Again, its not really worth a photo - although the Hubster's face when it is all finished will be a joy to behold!

After the Hubbie's pullover is done, I will be knitting up some more cardigans just for me!

That is a really nice cardi, I realise I have the book!! It looks nicer in person!! I like LOTS of ribbing, so that it doesn't pull in too much.
A kilometre of wool, I was thinking 'Wow,how much is that!!!', and then I realised I have over a km for my new cardi!!!

Generally I like short needles but when they aren't long enough for the stitches, that's a real pain in the butt!

I think it looks grand Nat - the colors are wonderful and I really look forward to you making some more things for yourself!

You deserve it :)
