I’m working a sleeve! Yowzer! Lookee:
And darling Rob, who supplied this Kersti goodness, pointed out that it’s not size that matters. Ahem. The number of stitches are going to be the same, no matter what size needles you’ve got. This sweater is going to take a while, I tell ya. It has a LOT of stitches. It’s so satisfying, but it is NOT mindless. And the scary thing is that it only has two (out of four) difficulty stars in the book. Good lord. A four-star might kill me.
I’m at work, my Monday, starting a 14 hour shift. On my way in this morning, I talked to Bethany; she was on the ferry, her head hanging over the rail, watching the school of dolphins below. I’m jealous. But in a good you’d-better-take-pictures kind of way. Hope she knits on the beach.
Steph says
Gorgeous! I’m in a cabley mood too. I’m just imagining the squooshy Kersti goodness. yummy.
holly says
ohhhh it is so bee-yoo-tee-ful! I hope someday to have the confidence to attempt such a project. Until then I will live vicariously through you (I almost wrote precariously)!
Kathleen says
Stunning. Those cables are just beautiful. AS is such an incredible designer. Have a good day at work. ๐
Christine says
That would take me a month on size 1’s.. no lie!
As always, your work is gorgeous! I can’t wait to see pictures of the finished sweater, which at this rate should be…hmm let’s see… the day after tomorrow! ๐
Mariko says
Oh my word, that is amazing! Aren’t you using teeny tiny needles, too?
indigirl says
Ohmygod, you are way too fast at this!!!!! I better pick mine up again (sadly started OVER THE SUMMER)!
Susan says
You and your sis have been cracking me up this week…her ghost, your sleeping partner. Y’all need your own sitcom!
Leslie says
Whiz kid! That baby’s gonna be a stunner!
Ann says
Oo-ee, chickadee, that is a thing of beauty!
Em says
Gasp! Squeal! That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. You’re in cahoots with Rob, aren’t you? AREN’T YOU? What do you get if I go running over for some Kersti of my own? Huh? Level with me. You think I’m that easy to break? (Rob: I can hear your “YES” from here.)
You’re amazing, doll.

I love your blog and am getting inspired to try Cromarty after seeing yours – it rocks. I remember you were thinking of using Classic Elite Lush but decided against it. I wanted to let you know that the new Interweave Knits has a pattern using Lush that you might like.
Robbyn says
Wow – splendiferous cables!! Just gorgeous. I’m pea green with envy – but you can keep the microscopic needles ๐
peggy says
I absolutely love that colour! The sleeve is looking good. Cables etc. scare me – not by themselves but the idea of a sweater covered in them? That’d take me forever to finish.
Aven says
Absolutely fabulous. You’re making me want to stop what I’m working on and start the aran I’ve got lined up for my husband – I love cables! I really do need to get my hands on some AS patterns…
claudia says
Boy oh boy, you are in worse size 1 hell than I am with my non-cabled gansey. Loose Knitters Unite!
