Hey Everyone!

I just joined the Runway Knits KAL. I'm so glad I found this group, because I definitely was motivated after looking through your past posts. If I had the time, I would probably make every item from the book!

I am currently working on the Cabled Cardigan. I received the book as a Christmas gift, and I immediately got started on this sweater. Unfortunately, I only worked diligently on it for about 3 weeks. Since this sweater was for myself, it got pushed to the back of the knitting list. I am going on vacation next week, and I will be trying to work on it then. My goal is to finish it by October this year.

Here's a pic of what I've done so far...Just the back:




I substituted yarn for this. (I can't justify the price of Karabella on a project for myself.) I'm using KnitPicks Wool of the Andes Bulky in Taupe.

I am also working on the Leaf Drop Sweater for my mom. So far, I have about 2.5" of the back done. So a pic isn't really worth the effort! I also sub'd yarn on this one. I'm using KnitPicks Merino style wool in Dusk. (Can you tell I love KnitPicks?) I'll post a pic as soon as I've made some real progress.

Anyway, I love everyone's work so far. Can't wait to see more!

I love using KnitPicks - they always seem to have a good substitute yarn! Your sweater is looking fantastic so far, can't wait to see some more!
