Last winter blow
As you guessed, yes my new spring plan swatch is for a sweater. In addition to that, that sweater is for DH. Alert friends, IT WILL BE THE FIRST SWEATER FOR DH from me. Oh yes. My first try for his sweater has been failed long since, because of yarn. It was beautiful cotton brend, however I had knitted already three garments with the very yarn and I am tired to death to use it again. I lost interest naturally, so far the project lost somewhere. But this time, the project is with a brand-new yarn(Jo sharp desert garden aran cotton), the color is selected by himself, for a pattern which has ALREADY pleased him. It is very important, for he is kind of picky and difficult for his wardrobe. So no fail, I am happy to knit with the yarn and he is happy to have that knitted sweater. All what I need to do is just to cast on.
BUT.
But. Some of you who have read quite long this blog, might remember about my Electra. I made that cardigan by a sudden strong urge to knit. I have smacked by it at the end of February 2006. I mean, I casted on Electra about the end of winter. And the same type of craziness slapped me again, same season, NOW.
I have given notice already, but as the winter is leaving and Spring magazine are arriving, I was not sure if I could cast on the project within this winter...it was one of my 2007 resolution, a big challenging project, I could postpone until the end of this year...
But please let me tell you, I LOVE knitting this cables. I truly enjoy cabling now. I believed myself rather hate cable project, and the truth is that I hate "using cable needle"! Now I cannot stop myself....I've got my cabling mojo, that's it.
And the best(or worst) part of it, almost all of my current projects and plans are ALL CABLES!!
1)the second sock of Shifting Sand socks(cables)
2)this "Arangensey" sweater(tons of it)
3)DH's cotton sweater "Classic Wavy Cable"(you know what) by Jo sharp
Crazy? yes! Just count the number of my cabling. Astronomical.

I have always loved that sweater from the book...I'm so excited to see you are knitting it up! So looking forward to watching your progress! Cables are a wonderful thing!
