January 27, 2006 Pirate Done!

I've finished the pirate sweater- I think Emerson looks pretty cute in it. I'm on to my next project. I've started the Chunky Cabled Sweater, also from Zoe Mellor's Adorable Knits for Tots. My good friend Erin, and her husband Eric who live in Paris, had a baby in December- Ethan Gregoire. I'm hoping they'll enjoy this sweater for him. The pattern calls for Debbie Bliss Cashmerino, but my lys, Needlework Unlimited didn't carry it so their very able staff suggested Rowan Classic Yarns, Cashsoft DK. I did like the khaki/red combo suggested in the book, but couldn't find similar colors I liked in the Cashsoft. I went with a sage/tape combo, which I think will work nicely.
