Totally unrelated to knitting ..

I just applied to FTTC. I'm freaking going to college. At the earliest it will be in 2010. Maybe not until 2111. But I'm going to go.

New photos of the Lush & Lacy Cardigan and the Cable Hat.

Finally got the buttons on the cardigan and wore it to BIRTHDAY Knit Night!
The cake was yummy ...
the Champagne was yummy ...
and the gifts were yummy!

Lush & Lacy Cardigan

Pattern: Lush & Lacy Cardigan from SweaterBabe.com

Yarn: Valley Yarns Northampton

I had a lot of fun making this one. It knit up SUPER fast. This is the first piece I've knit (for myself) that I had to seam together. I think my seaming skills have improved some since the last time I had to seam. There's always room for more improvement in that department for me!

EXCELLENT yarn! This is a more cost efficient alternative to Cascade 220. There are 247 yards per skein, 100% wool, VERY soft, and not at all itchy. Not as many colors to choose from as Cascade 220, but still quite a few. Great stitch definition, too. I would totally use this yarn again!

Norah Gaughan is my Favorite Knitwear Designer

I have fallen head over heels in love with Norah Gaughan's patterns!! They're flawless. Everything is so flattering too, which I LOVE. Here are a few that I'm dying to knit up someday ... I'm seriously adding all of these to my Ravelry queue. Well, okay, most of them have already been added for quite awhile. And I will knit them all, OH YES, I will knit them all.
