On New Year’s Day I cast on for the Samus Sweater. I’m on row 16 of the first repeat.

I had to redo my cable chart. I had drawn the chart out in pencil which smeared. I figured the more I used the chart the worse the smears would get. So I redid it using pen and colored pencils which is much better.

The bottom cable is done all at once. This is a great design feature. With Arwen I knit the a row of cable along with a long row of stockinette. By the time I got back to the cable I had to reorientate myself with the chart. With Samus I can just get into the cable zone.

Prana hung out outside and checked out the snow. On the whole he’s still impersonating an inside cat.

Abbey got married to her honey on Winter Solstice. And Thebes married them! It was a beautiful ceremony and I got to be maid of honor. Here’s a pic of the happy couple:
