Procrastination is my middle name

Okay, this sweater has been done for ages! For some reason it took me like four weeks to finally go out and buy buttons for it. Maybe it was because I wasn't sure how it was going to look until the buttons were on it. I just sewed them on tonight and I love it! Check out that belly! LOL!

Pattern: Asymmetrical Cabled Cardigan by Yahaira Ferreira

Yarn: Kathmandu Aran Tweed, color 146, 6 balls

Needles: US size #9

Notes: This was a very impulsive knit. When I saw the pattern I just had to make it right then! The directions are somewhat loose and assume a basic understanding of bottom up raglan sweaters. I believe there was an error in the cable pattern as well but it was fairly obvious and she's probably fixed it by now. Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was and I didn't make any notes on my pattern so I'm afraid I'm no help there. I really enjoyed knitting this cardigan! it was fun, not too complicated but not too boring, and a fast knit. The neck is like a built in cowl but I think it also looks nice with it open at the top. I'm very pleased with how it turned out!

I wish everyday were Sunday

Okay, not every day but I sure have enjoyed my Sunday today and am sad that it is almost over.
I was in the mood today to get something finished. I've been feeling a bit weighed down by all my WIPs. So, the Asymmetrical Cardi is blocking:
I will have a modeled picture in a few days after it drys.
And here's another FO I've had done for quite a while now. It is a pair of Fuzzy Feet for my hubby. I used a full skein of Lamb's Pride Worsted in some blue color and then some leftover grey for the toes. These were super quick to make but took foooooreeeever to dry. I'm definitely making myself a pair of these before next winter!
Also, I we had some fun in the kitchen today and made homemade soft prezels! They came out so good and they weren't hard to make, especially since there were two of us in the kitchen. Perfect for a relaxing Sunday!
