Cables!

I was sick the week we learned cables in class, so I gave it my best shot. The front's finished now, and I'm working on the sleeves. Trying to get it done before the weather gets too warm!

The goal

Here's what the sweater *should* look like when I'm done. We'll see if I can do it!

Tiger knits a sweater

As part of my Christmas present, Mary signed me up for knitting lessons. The ladies at the Yarn Barn have assured me that in five weeks, I will learn all I need to know to knit my very own sweater. ("Just in time for summer," says Andy.) Trip #1 to the Yarn Barn left me much poorer (yikes, yarn is expensive!) , but with 9 balls (or smunches) of pretty green silk/cotton yarn.

On Christmas, Mary gave me some knitting needles, yarn and a few books. According to Andy, she created a knitting monster.
