Baby Got Back

Well, not the entire back yet but making progress. I love working on this sweater and am so thankful to this group because I never would have attempted the pattern otherwise. I am using a wool/cotton blend and like it because the smooth yarn seems to show off the cable detail well. The attached picture is a bit lousy for color accuracy, but the yarn is Rowan wool cotton in a deep black. I am so relieved to be able to use something from my stash, though the Knitpicks catalog was very tempting -- especially some of those greens. Thanks everyone for the tireless translation, pattern experimentation and corrections. Should a knit-a-long ever attempt a pattern written in Pig Latin, I'm your gal.
