Sweater number three is finished, and I think it's my favourite so far. The cashmere was so soft, and it was great fun to knit with the colours always changing. I knit it using a fleck stitch for texture, and was careful to always start with the green part of the colourway in order to tie everything together. I'm seriously tempted to go to Miachaels with another 50% off coupon and buy another ball of the cashmere, but in a different colour, and knit a sweater for Lonnie too. I've started sewing one of my new shirts, but it's hard to stay focused. Back in May there was a "Buy a Musical Instrument Day", which I had wanted to take a photo for, but missed, and it's been bugging me ever since. So I finally set up and took a photo for it yesterday. The girls emptied out their piggy-banks and got advances on their allowance, and went off to the local symphony garage sale looking for bargains. Two hours later, hauling home their loot.... Now they will all need some serious music lessons in order to learn to play them all properly!

The sweater is BEAUTIFUL ! The texture of the stitch works so well with the multicolored yarn.
