I've already knit one repeat of the cable pattern on my new cardigan.

Ecological wool is lofty, soft and just a bit sheepy, I love it. It's a very satisfying yarn to knit with. It makes me want to take long walks in fall leaves and jump puddles.

Here's a closer shot




I'm loving the look of the knit all at once garter button band. Garter stitch really pops in this yarn.

I just had to cast this on tonight now that hubby's socks are done. The yarn has been calling to me all week.

This is my first time using Cascade's Ecological Wool and I like it so far. I hope it wears well. Fingers Crossed. :)

I finally finished Gordon's socks yesterday. Boy socks with fine fingering weight always seem to drag a little towards the end, but I'm quite pleased with the end result.

Yarn: Melody Superwash
Pattern: Basic toe up with short row heel, cable nabbed from A Fine Fleece

I've also been working on some sport weight socks for myself with some yarn I picked up during my 4 day yarn bender while our friend Elaine was visiting us.

The yarn is Monarch from Fly Designs, purchased in person at the lovely Little Knits in West Seattle and the Pattern is Kaylee from Monkey Toes

I'm about halfway done with sock #2 now, these are a crazy fast knit. I love the little bee/firefly pattern. I think I may have to make some armwarmers with this pattern.

Next up are birthday socks for my Mom, and a sweater for me. I think I've settled on this cabled hoody from Drops Designs, sexily named 109-3. Seriously, those guys need to hire someone to name their designs ;)
