after almost a year haitus I’ve started working on Russell’s DNA cable sweater again. I put it down in about march or april for whatever reason, I think I screwed up the armhole shaping, and haven’t knit on it again until yesterday when I cleaned out my work in progress basket. It’s much farther along than I thought, and since being more knowledgeable now then when I started the sweater (about january) all it needed was to be pulled back a few rows! Pardon the blurryness of the pictures, the only way to get the cables to show up is without flash. I’m very proud of this sweater, and I have vowed to finish it before winter is over. Also Russell asked if it would be ready in time for him to go back to school (I think he wants to show it off).

Also the last package from my secret pal was awesome, one of the sweet things being 2 balls of noro kureyon in color #164. Without knowing me my secret pal somehow knew I loved teal, green, and black. I wasnt a fan of the orange/yellow bit at first, but I think it breaks up the colors nicely. I started rosedale united with it, which is hard to photograph since its on circular needles that are way too small.
