Onto Fifi...

I finished Rusted Root this morning. Well, almost, I still have to weave in the ends. I can't believe it, but I misread the pattern (more than once, obviously) and finished in 2x2 instead of 2x1. Bah! Oh well, I still love the sweater and know I will wear this one a lot. I want to make it in another color, maybe using the new serindipity tweed from brown sheep, and not screw up this time. I found sexy knitters quite late into the last KAL so I didn't start Rusted Root until July 6th. Fast knit, though I had to frog many MANY times, as I'm a very new knitter. This is my first adult garment and first lace project and I can't wait to start on Fifi, my first cable project. Yah! I may cast on tonight.
