I’ve produced a few small knits the last six or so weeks, which have gone a long way to yanking me out of the non-knitting hole I found myself in. I had hoped I ‘d be one of those pregnant women that can’t stop knitting for their babe, but I turned out to be one of those that didn’t knit a thing for him. I would have (and possibly should have) been ashamed of this, but I was busy with other baby‘s sweaters at the time.
Once Em made it to six months, it was like some knitting weight was rolled off of me . I needed small projects to work on, though. Bibs, mitts, and small blankets seemed just my speed, mostly because they took me almost as long as large projects did pre-baby. I wondered out loud recently what I should knit next. The answer came with out hesitation from the man sitting next to me: a long-promised cardigan.
Cambridge Jacket, Interweave Summer 2006. The link shows it a bit better.
Mr. Cygknit picked out the yarn at the WEBS tent sale in 2006. Every now and then, he’d pipe up about it, but one look from me and he’d go back to perishing the thought. I think this time I was ready, though. When I was searching for a project to take to the Stitch N Bitch group I’m going to now, I realized it was time. Also, if I was going to swatch anywhere, it would be there. After swatching and going up a needle size, I’m about here. And here isn’t too scary of a place.

Mr. C will cut such a dashing figure in his handsome sweater! Lots of ribbing to actually flatter his gentlemanly form.
Oh, and lots of ribbing to drive you completely nuts. Can’t wait to see it!
That’s going to be verra nice :o)
Wow – that’s a great looking sweater. I just found your blog via Domestic Extraordinaire. Congratulations on the award!
Hey there! Found you!! 🙂 I finally have the internet connection up and running, so I can catch up on people and… my own blog!
I have admired that sweater too… perhaps I’ll have to make one for my guy? Let me know how you like it. Mind you, I may just shy away from all the ribbing in favour of something more… plain. Cobblestone Pullover perhaps? A is a big guy! All that ribbing for a guy of 6′ may just drive me nuts. So, that yarn. Is it grey or does it actually have the blue/purple bits in it?
Glad to be back in touch! 🙂
Ohh!! Love the colors. That should be lots of fun to knit. A plain enough pattern that it won’t suck up too many brain cells but interesting yarn to keep you going. Have fun.
OK, OK. I’ll leave right after this, I promise. I just got a little sidetracked, is all, and now I have a question: your husband actually went into the WEBS tent sale?! And picked out yarn?! Whoa! Where did you get HIM?! Mine sits in the car and sulks.
Also? WEBS? So you’re close enough to be at the Harlot in April?! Maybe I’ll see you there!
OK. I’m so sorry; now I’m just like the cling-on new buddy who won’t leave, aren’t I? Next I’ll be asking if I can move in, blah blah blah. I guess this is what you get for de-lurking.
