craft in the jungle
as you can see, my new craft room has very little resemblance to the old one; however, this is still the same cobalt blue cardi. all pieces knitted and blocked (on my new blocking board!), waiting to be seamed.
can you tell i made some cabling mistakes here? it is probably obvious once i point it out to you, but, i'm not going to. this pattern has the traditional aran stitches, i love how everything had turned out, except it was difficult to adjust stitch tensions. perhaps it is just the yarn i used, who knows and who cares!
i'm seaming this cardigan up this week and i am hoping to wear it at least once until the fall.

How exciting! I can't tell that you made any mistakes - it looks so great! I can't wait to see it finished and modeled.

What a beautiful sweater (even in pieces!). It must feel good to be *so* close to end. I can't find any mistakes and if they're hard to see when the sweater is all splayed out like that, it will be impossible to see them when you're wearing it! Can't wait to see it all finished:)

I love the colour of the yarn and the cabling looks great. (Your new blocking board is a great size, where'd you get it?)

I love your cardigan. You won't be able to see the mistake unless you look closely at the back of it, and who would when you wear it. I think it looks gorgeous. Hope to see more of your knits now that you have moved.

Welcome to the Sisterhood of the Blocking Board! I get so excited every time I get to pull mine out -- it satisfies my obessive compulsive tendencies very nicely.
Can't wait to see your finished cardi!

Can't wait to see it all seamed up! :)

I see you did a very careful work on the sweater. Very complicated pattern and I admire your patience.
