It seems to me that everyone, everyone is knitting a super cool, gorgeous, must-wear it sweater. The Central Park Hoodie is very popular right now. Brigitte<\/a> knit a CPH in a stunning pink<\/a>. Margaux<\/a> is almost done in a lovely grey Skye Tweed. Have I mentioned I love pink and grey? And Fearless Cara’s<\/a> will be beautiful now that she knows how to cut open a mis-crossed cable and re-do the cross. Now I don’t actually want a CPH, but I do want a sweater. Faithful readers will recall that I have over a mile of Lamb’s Pride Worsted in Periwinkle (I should send it to Grumperina<\/a>, but I’m afraid of repercussions). I want to knit a pullover and preferably one with cables. When I saw that Julia’s<\/a> friend had knit the Marseilles Pullover from IK Summer 2006<\/i> in an aran weight yarn, I knew what I wanted to do for a first swatch.<\/p>\n

1×4 Ribbing! WooHoo! Color is really periwinkle!<\/i><\/p>\n

OK, so 1×4 ribbing isn’t cably excitement, but it is<\/i> the gauge swatch for the Marseilles Pullover. And the gauge is all off, but I must do the math to see if I could make it possible. I would also try the cable motif. The cables look hard to me, but then I’ve lately been choosing projects that I thought were my skill level and I have been bored to tears.<\/b> It’s time to up the ante. I like the LP worsted in the 1×4, although I really should put the yarn I ripped in a skein and get it wet to work out all the little kinks (the sweater back was knit for a couple of years before I ripped a few weeks ago). <\/p>\n

I have several other swatches in mind to knit for a cabled sweater of my own design, but I thought I would start here. Green may be the official color of generic envy, but sweater envy is obviously periwinkle.<\/p>\n

I must now be good and knit on an official WIP.<\/p>\n

Happy Knitting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
