Lightbox attempt #2:

Clearly I need some big paper or photography sheeting or something – light shows through the cracks! Oh, and photoshop. Still, not too bad.

I picked up another skein of the organic wool on Tuesday and started striping it in – it really doesn’t appear stripey or anything at all, which is excellent. I’m just about to start the raglan decreases, so this puppy might be done this weekend! I could really have used it the last few days…and next week it’s supposed to be warming up. Eh, whatever.

I’m scrapping the neckband in the book because it’ll be too high (mock turtlenecks bug me) and I think I’ll just do a tight roll neck instead, just to balance the intense cables everywhere else. I think it’ll work out – we’ll see!

I’m so, so happy that you guys love Thermal! Let me know if there’s a knitalong, ok, and I’ll help you out with any questions ;) After Rachel H. took possession of the original, she reported that it was indeed very warm and very comfy. And sent me a couple of emails about it, too!

So – other knitting. There’s a lot of projects. Many were tossed aside for the capecho.

Which went so fast that this is the best photo I have of it. It’s not quite done yet (I’m still working on the collar) but the body is done and hanging out at the store. It, uh, needs some blocking which will hopefully help with the multiple-boob appearance. I just looooved knitting it – the pentagons went really fast and were extremely addictive!

Now that it’s mainly done, I’m focusing more on the organic cabled raglan – I’m up to the armhole of the front and will hopefully be done that piece soon.

Meanwhile, in my non-happy-bubble-of-knitting life, I’m almost done with food reintroductions and cheating left and right. Whoops. I’ve got a pretty good idea on some particular triggers, though. We’ll see what happens; after some treatment I might able to eat some of them again, or at least up my threshhold. And school – oh, the school. It’s scary. Really scary.

In fact, I need to go write a paper now!

Mmmmmmm cables.

I got Cables Untangled by Melissa Leapman after Christmas – Indigo was having a 30% off hardcover books sale. I’m so happy I picked it up – it is a fabulous book. I had bought all this organic wool from work a little while before, in a nice oatmeal shade, and was planning on doing an aran sweater with it. Lo and behold, here was one just perfect!

I am slightly worried that I won’t have enough yarn – I have 7 skeins of the organic wool, but that’s less than what the book calls for. We’ll have to see. I’m already about 6″ up the back of the sweater! And I have quite a bit left on my first ball of yarn.

The errata? Well, see in the straight columns, how they’re kind of messed up at the bottom compared to the last 4 inches or so, and compared to the book? Well, that’s because when I started out I followed the chart. And the chart has a big honkin’ mistake in it.

So here it is: All the right and left twist stitches should be the same as in row 1 of the chart.

They’re written as alternating each RS row, but that doesn’t give you the straight columns as in the photos. Luckily that was pretty easily figured out – I’m leaving the alternating twists at the bottom because I don’t want to rip it out. Design feature, and all that. And the good news is that the chart is very easily memorized once you’ve set it up.

Hurrah, I’m actually on track to get to bed earlier tonight!
