Here's my sweater, all finished. I took a cable pattern from a sock I knit recently, changed it a bit, and worked it up in a raglan with a 3/1 rib. I love the color, I loved knitting every stitch. I messed around with the upper body quite a bit as I worked, so it has its flaws, but that's okay with me. I'm going to knit another, hopefully soon, in yarn from the Midnight Sheep. And I'll fix all the flaws in that version. You can click on the images to see more detail. I am very happy with this one. The yarn is Traveller in Abu Dhabi, from the Sanguine Gryphon.

Fiddleheads and other things

Sophia's unblocked first mitten ever.
A scarf, on and off the loom yesterday, in CTH Alpine Lace, 13x72"

Our fiddleheads. You can see the difference gauge makes. My mitts are right on for the large size in the pattern, hers are much smaller than the smallest size. Too small to bother with a lining, thank goodness, since I had agreed to knit those..
Nice puffy blocked mitts with liners inside.
Clearly, I fiddled around with the lining, too.
Prelining.
I love the wrong side of stranded knitting.
