goodies

Got my big ol' box from KnitPicks yesterday! Those balls of yarn sure are small. I'm going to hate weaving in all those ends! I swatched the Main Line last night. It really likes US7 needles and I couldn't get the recommended gauge (4.5 st/in) until I went down to 5, and it was too stiff and weird. But I needed something slightly heavier than 4.5 anyway so it's all good. This is for the Cabled Cardigan (#19) from Fall 2006 Vogue Knitting. I'm going to do the sleeves first. They are ribbed cuffs (7") and then stockinette all the way up. The cabling is on the body. Now that I think about it I didn't look to see if the back is cabled or plain. Hmm.
