~Specs~

Pattern:
Portland Pullover from the fall 2006 issue of Interweave Knits.

Yarn:
Welcomme- Le Super Mohair - 1 1/2 balls 120m/135yrds (40g)
70%Mohair/30% Acrylic

Garnstudio's Vivaldi - 1 1/2 balls 280m (50g)
43%Mohair/27% Acrylic/30%Polyester

Needles:
Circs in 9mm, 7.5mm and 6mm

Pros:
Quick and easy to knit. Easy pattern to follow. Also, the most functional sweater I have made for myself so far.

Cons:
I had to readjust the needle size to find the right gauge, which isn't really a con, more of a side note for next time. Easy to wear except for the fact that I don't know if I'm a mohair kind of girl. Somehow it feels to me that putting a soft, fluffy sweater over "curves" seems to round out and expand said curves.

Anyway, here is a peek at some cable work. I don't yet know what it is though. I have wanted to try out this cable pattern and I was just drawn to the yarn. More mohair, strangely enough. Country Mohair by Fleece Artist. Beautiful stuff with a fantastic weight to it. I have no idea what I will do with this once it's finished. Possibly a medium sized carry bag? We will see.
