Welllll, how’s it going out there? You all know that I have my pretty yarn now. And there’s an errata posted for Cable-Eight. So other than posting a picture of my swatches….

I don’t have anything new to report. It’s all up to you ladies! And if I happen to link you, you can still speak up in the comments and talk about it. As for my swatches, the one on the left was knit on size 11, and makes stitch gauge, but not row gauge. The one on the right was knit using size 10 1/2, and makes row gauge, but not stitch gauge. I’m going to try it on the 11’s. I like the soft, loose fabric it made, and because I’m planning on wearing this as an over-garment, I think it’ll work out.

Stella has started hers, and is using Vento by Skacel.
I know this is unrelated, but Frances just won $500 from her local radio station. That is so cool.
Diana has started hers in a beautiful color of Cascade Sierra. (The yarn came from Angela, who is starting up an online yarn shop). Unfortunately, she didn’t find out about the errata ’til quite a ways into it. But, it sounds like she’s keeping a stiff upper lip.
Janell has joined the group, no pictures yet, and I think I heard that she’s knitting with the same lovely yarn as Diana.

While we’re speaking of Diana, and keeping in mind that we are all sick around here, so the TV is doing overtime, all I can think about when I see her name is Wonder Woman! Sing with me now….

“All the world is waiting for you,
and the powers you possess,
in your satin tights,
fighting for your rights,
and the old Red, White, and Bluuuuuuuue!!!”

Oh yeah, we’re lovin’ it.
