Oh Crap!
I started an other project yesterday...
but for good reason!
I cast on the Summer Braids Cardigan in Kraemer's Tatamy Tweed DK* yesterday. Darlene and I were batting around some patterns for a fall cabled sweater class, and we think this is a good choice. Very approachable and minimal finishing.

I've made this cardigan before.... a long time ago in Woolease and gave it to my mother in law. So I wanted to "whip" up a shop sample and refamiliarize myself with the pattern. It will also help me decide how many sessions we'll need and how to spread them out. I underestimated how many classes I would need for the Spring Forward Cardigan... I think we're going to need an other class. I'll get that feedback from the students on Saturday (which should be the last class).
I really can't say enough nice things about the Kraemer Tatamy Tweed. It's a little "splitty", but the fabric has such a lovely drape. Very different than the Cotton Plus or Cotton Ease. Since cotton acrylic blends have become a bit of an obsession for me, I'm really enjoying how each yarn works.
Well, I guess I should do some housework today. The vacuum cleaner is looking a bit dusty...
*Cabin Fever now has their own yarn labeled yarn. Which is the Tatamy Tweed yarn!

I'll be looking forward to hearing about how this sweater goes. I've had this pattern on my "to do" list for ages but I haven't had the right yarn. So really you're providing a public service by starting a new project. ;-)
I also have had the Summer Braids pattern on my to do list. I know the Ample Knitters did this as a knit-along several years ago.
