I am almost out of yarn for this, I have a few ounces left, and it'll be done! Unless I decide to dye more yarn for it ... I might. But I'll have to dye it on the stove, unless we get another 90 degree day. And I really don't want another 90 degree day until next July.
And for variety, I decided to show more detail on the cabled sweater.
Now that I'm this far along, I only need the pattern for the A and B cable panels. The C panel, seen here on either side of the diamond, only cables two rows out of 14, so it almost doesn't count. Except for two B panels and the A panel, I don't even have to follow the pattern, I just knit or purl what's already established. I love patterns like that!
It's coming up on my 100th blog post. I'd better get that gift basket ready ...
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
Hi! How nice of you to leave such a nice comment om my blog. And then I found your blog as well. I really like the colours you make. Beautiful. I also saw the cabled jumper further down in your blog. The man's one. I know my DH would love that one. Do you have a name for it. I couldn't get the link to work. I hope you will have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteDOn't you hate it when you are making progress but it doesn't show? I know I do. I am really digging the koolaid blanket.
ReplyDeleteYour blanket sounds just the right size and the colours look fab
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cables...and what a rich and wonderful color! XXO-
ReplyDeleteThat's the nice thing about making blankets for yourself, you get to make it the perfect size for you! Great colors, I'm amazed how rich and deep they turned out.
ReplyDeleteYou might not have anything new but what a sense of accomplishment you must feel...almost done with the blanket....23 rows complete on what sounds like a charted puzzle. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fiber Arts Friday!!
I'm new to your blog so both projects are quite new and exciting to me. They look great!
ReplyDeleteYour Kool Aid sweater is new because you have added some on it. I just love those colors; they look good enough to eat (drink). Oh, yes, you can!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is looking gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI really love the blanket, it looks fab :)
Ooh, the blanket is fun and bright, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how those cables are coming along! Sometimes I like putting my fingers on one of the braids and just trace where it's going. It's quite mystifying.
ReplyDeleteThose cables are so eye pleasing! And I'm lovin the koolaid blanket.
ReplyDeleteThose cables looks great. I agree, I don't want to see another 90 degree for awhile. It will happen in April here.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, two huge projects in work! I love them both.
ReplyDeleteCables are showing up so nicely, it's like magic as it works up stitch by stitch...
ReplyDeleteThe cables are so beautiful. I love the way they are coming about. Kool Aid is an awesome dye...nice and vibrant. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour knitting is beautiful. If you're feeling down about the appearance of slow progress, knit up a quick dish cloth. You'll have that quick satisfaction and then you can get back to the awesome knits that you're working on.
