Another Swatch and Another New Project

I've finished my 3rd swatch for the Knitting Guild Master Knitter Program-voila, see it blocking.

Now that I've finished my EZ Baby Sweater (and although I still have a few other things on the needles) I have cast on for the Tangled Yoke Cardigan by Eunny Jang. This is a fairly intimidating project- a complicated horizontal cable across the yoke, along with lots of stockinette done on fairly small needles. However, I do adore cardigans and I've seen lots of beautiful versions of this sweater on the web (like this one from Stash, Knit, Repeat). I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Although the pattern calls for Rowan Felted Tweed, lots of people have also used Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool and found it knits up to the same gauge. My local yarn store (at least the one by my work that I frequent over the lunch hour) doesn't carry Rowan, but they did have the silky wool. I picked up skeins of a beautiful dark blue-green...and away we go!
