What’s on my Needles?

After knitting sweaters for all three girls I’m starting one for B. He wants one because his office gets chilly & he thinks it would be nice to have a sweater to keep there. It was difficult to pin down exactly what he wanted because he tends to be a bit picky when it comes to clothes. A bit picky? A LOT picky. I finally found something that wasn’t too froofy that met his approval. He picked a medium/slate gray for the yarn.

The pattern is from Knitty.com and is called Avast

I’ve never done a cable before so I’m finding the cable band at the bottom of the sweater to be a bit of a challenge, but now that I’m getting the hang of it it’s getting easier. Isn’t that just a fact of life. I was able to get a good chunk of the cable pattern done on a road trip to Fargo last week but the going has been slow since. At this rate B won’t get his sweater until we are in the midst of a hot and humid Minnesota summer.

A picture of the cable band, probably not very easy to see & I really should pin it out for a better picture, but here it is nonethless:
