More sweater! This photo is from just after I officially hit the part of the body that involves waist shaping, which is about a third of the way up. I love this sweater so far – the cables are all pretty easy to memorize or ”read” from the knitting, so after the initial bout of charting everything out to learn it for my swatch, I haven’t really had to do much referring to cable charts to know what I’m supposed to do next. It is also not the best photography in the world, as I was sort of rushed when I took this photo, but trust me. This sweater is going to be pretty. It looks a little small as is, when I hold it up to myself, but I keep having to remind myself that Cascade 220 expands a lot when it gets washed, and that my swatch worked out just fine. Already, I can’t wait to finish this and wear it around.

. . .it’s begun.

I am very, very excited about this sweater, you guys. Bonus points if you can spot the signs in the diagram that give away what I go to school for. ;)
