One Down

I'm still plowing through Lillian. If you missed my previous post about this pattern, go check it out. If you enjoy cables, this one is a must-knit. Gorgeous design, great pattern. The pattern has already been published, but I said I'd have it done in three weeks and I'll...have it done in a little more than three weeks. This is the first sleeve. It looks a little funky unblocked, but I wanted to show you the cool cable design. (That little extra piece at the top is because it's a saddle shoulder. That's the saddle. I've never made one of these before, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.)

See how the "rope" travels around the sleeve? I love that. I also love that the sleeves are mostly stockinette, because even though the body cables were superb, I was ready for a break. The sleeves have just the right amount of cabling. I was able to finish this one while watching Sons of Anarchy last night (it's on past our bedtime, so we record it and watch it later), and I only messed up once.

I have a cold and I don't feel much like getting off the sofa, so I should be able to get this one done in a couple more days. FO post soon!
