My Heather Hoodie is actually coming out okay. I’ll admit it; I’ve impressed myself. Except for an early hiccup where I didn’t reverse the cables when the pattern changed, it’s been smooth sailing with this one.

Here’s a photo of the back section, isn’t it lovely? Anyways, I realized that I actually have no idea how to do this thing. The cabling is easy as pie, but I’m not sure what will happen when I get to armholes and such. I’ve already bought my buttons, which are so awesome that I am not posting a picture of them until they’re in the sweater (probably). I don’t want to lose my momentum on this one, but I also don’t want to mess it up. I have enlisted the aid of several awesome Ravelers, who I hope will come to my rescue. I’ll keep posting my progress with this one.

It is, in fact, a sweater. Here is my dirty red sweater of guilt (guilt, because I should be finishing those socks). Please note the totally awesome cables that I am doing without cable needles (thanks to Grumperina, who rocks, although I won the most darling set at the LYS holiday swap).

I’ve decided that it’s not procrastination if you’re knitting something else while avoiding the original item.

Up with cables!

Down with boring patterns!

Down with excessive striping!
