Told you I was gonna knit me a sweater.....
Pattern: Dollar and a Half Cardigan by Veronik Avery
Raveled here
This is my progress on the back, which has been a bit of a challenge. I think I've got the lace pattern down now, and it's actually going pretty quickly. I love the way it is turning out, and I'm enjoying knitting with the yarn quite a bit. This is my first time knitting with Cotton Fleece, and the fabric is turning out better than I'd imagined. It's going to be perfect for North Florida!
I'm also doing a bit of knitting for the house. We've used the last batch of dishcloths I made so much they are literally falling apart. Time for some new ones!
I need to make some new dishcloths too. Thanks for the reminder!
The sweater is coming along very well. Congrats! Keep it up!

Ahhh! Cool! I made a dishcloth, same pattern, in almost the same colors! Instead of the very stripey version of the variegate, I used the one with broader repeats. I love how it came out. But I gave it as an Xmas gift. She loved it. Great minds, we think alike! Good job on the sweater.

I totally remember that original dishcloth post, cause I think that was shortly before I made some dishcloths. Almost 2 years ago. Damn. We're in need of some again too.
The sweater looks like it's coming along quickly...I haven't even cast on for one yet. Soon though. I got distracted by some socks.
