Gravatar Yummy cables, yummy cake!


Gravatar Wow you're moving fast through that sweater! Love that cable pattern!


Gravatar Double yum: malabrigo and fig & plum cake!


Gravatar Mmmm that cake is very tasty looking...and I have been lusting after that very shade of Malabrigo! Great minds think alike...such fantastic stitch definition, love your sweater.


Gravatar totally loving the cable for that jacket. gorgeous!


Gravatar Oh man. Why did I have to see this post? I love this jacket, and of course I love the yarn you're using. Must... resist... buying... new... things...


Gravatar Oh, yes, that cabled jacket is delicious and I can only imagine how much the Malabrigo raises the yum quotient. Beautiful stitch definition in that back cable.


Gravatar that red is stunning. beautiful!!!! a fig tree! my dream!! i would love to have one!!!


Gravatar that vogue sweater is really cute.... but wait! does the pattern call for knitting the sleeves short-rowed, top-down?? because in the photo you scanned, it looks like that sleeve on the right has the same weird sleeve cap line i keep getting on jarrett...

re: the fig tree in brooklyn, it reminds me of an interesting article i read in NY magazine about some guy who started an entire farm in his backyard, in brooklyn: http://nymag.com/restaurants/fea...features/37273/


Gravatar Glad you're knitting again! What a great pattern choice, too. I will have to check out the ones on Ravelry. Hang in there with the 300+ stitches, it will be worth it


Gravatar The stitch definition on that Malabrigo is superb! How lovely!


Gravatar I love thsoe cables and I'll be right over for cake. You save me a piece, right?


Gravatar Mmmm, cake. Mmmm, fig cake. I bet it tastes like a warm Fig Newton, only better and fresher.

Nice yarn, too.


Gravatar Ooh this promises to be a real beauty.

Thanks for the advice re the cast on - I tried it and mangled it but I think that is more due to my dodgy technique with the magic looping! I shall get there one way or another :o)


Gravatar God that is a lovely pattern. I love the back! I wish it was diffrently shaped in front though so I could knit it, but with my shape it would only lay outside the bubbies not over them.

Lovely color! Mmmm I want cake now


Gravatar What a lovely, elegant cable pattern that is. You'll rock that sweater, for sure!


Gravatar The cake looks wonderful. A dab of creme fraiche on top and it is ready to eat.

I like the sweater too. I am going to have to go back through my copy of Vogue and look at it again.


Gravatar i'll be curious to see how this turns out for you. i've had my eye on this sweater for a little bit and almost forgot about it!


Gravatar wow, you are rocking that new sweater! it's gorgeous.


Gravatar Those cables are gorgeous! You knit such lovely things!


Gravatar Wow, the sweater is moving along so fast, love the cabling and LOVE mmmmmmalabrigo - although a day like today makes me wonder if we'll ever get sweater weather....


Gravatar hope you made quick work of consuming your fig & plum cake!! it looks fabulous. not as fabulous as your malabrigo sweater, though...


Gravatar Wow... that cake looks delish! Thanks for the tip on the cable pattern. The back looks much better now.


Gravatar you are zooming on that sweater! and the fig cake looks delightful.


Gravatar You are tearing through that sweater! The cake looks too delicious.


Gravatar great color on the sweater the cables rock. mmm cake...


Gravatar Beautiful, perfect cables! Though I will miss your sewing a little bit -- just until next summer, I hope.

I've had that cake on the brain, too, but unfortunately don't know a single person with a fig tree. Imagine that. : )


Gravatar I think those are Japanese knitting pins. They come in packs of 10 and are great for pinning pieces together for seaming.


Gravatar You know, the only problem I have with More Than Yarn is, actually, the fact that (as you pointed out) "most of their stock is on sale." If you read their fine print, there are no returns on items on sale. No wonder everything is 'on sale.' Just a thought.
