My very first sweater


Mariah begins her gestation with humble sleeve beginnings. Knit from Patons merino wool in denim. Note to self - do not do detailed cable project when tired, will lead to confusion, delay and frogging.

Irish Hiking Scarf


Eric's completed Irish Hiking Scarf aka the world's longest scarf for the world's tallest brother (well, ok, I am exaggerating a bit, but not much).

Confession - if you look closely (and let's pretend you have to look really closely) you will notice that the last gray stripe on the left is shorter than all the others. Yes, I ran out of yarn and yes I decided to forge ahead without buying a whole new skein because I a) wanted to finish b) promised I wouldn't start Mariah until I was finished and c) my favorite LYS store where I had bought the yarn closed and I'm in mourning.

Baby Cables Poncho


This beauty is from Weekend Knits and is knit from Patons merino wool. I had to block it twice because the first time it turned out gigantic. Fortunately wool is very workable.
