It went by rather quickly, actually. It's strange to think I just got the yarn 20 days ago. And now I'm nearly done! I should really get on to blocking the left front and the back...
Anyway I started working on the right front. I think reversing the cable kinda threw me off.
(Can you spot the mistake?)
Luckily, I caught it early on so now it's been frogged and reknit. I think I'm hitting a bit of a dry spot with this though... I'm not quite as into it as I used to be. I guess that's to be expected though.
In other news, I finished a pair of socks... but no pictures yet. Maybe tomorrow. And my mum's birthday is coming up (mid-March) so I started some socks for her... Baudelaire from knitty.com.
I don't know how I feel about this. The pattern calls for 2.50 mm or "US 2" but it's not a US 2. I swatched (sorta... don't really swatch for socks) and was short a stitch with the 2.25 and the 2.75. Right now, it looks so big, and my mom has absolutely tiny feet. (One of the huge plusses of knitting socks for my mom... and the other being she likes short socks.) She wears a size 5 and her feet are narrow. I'm thinking I just frog the whole damn thing and knit it again on size 1's and see how it goes from there.

Baudelaires! I'm impressed. Everytime I see them I think...someday. They look daunting. Your sweater is awesome, it's great, it sucks when it becomes tedious, though.It's great that you're not monogamous in your knitting so you can take a break.
Oooh, I just finished the left front and plan to cast on for the right side today. I'll be sure to be doubly attentive as it's sooo frustrating to frog. I love the colorway of your cardigan!
It's incredibly refreshing to see another knitter that's young as interested in knitting as I am! Love your blog. :-D
