Front finished of Michael Kors cabled tunic
Finished the front of the Michael Kors Cabled Tunic (VK Fall 06) last night at 11:30pm. I wasn't going to bed until it was cast off! I have reached the "I'm tired of this project I want to cast on something else" stage. I am going to cast on both sleeves together on the same circ so that I don't end up on different pattern rows. I kept detailed notes on the back so that the front would match exactly.

FO: Wonderful Wallaby
Everyone should knit at least one Wonderful Wallaby. They are fun to knit because there are many detailed (but easy) steps to follow, so you never get bored or face miles of stockinette while waiting to get to the armscye. I bought my pattern from Lionbrand.com, but it's published by Cottage Creations. Yarn used was Plymouth Encore in a denim colorway, bought at The Gourmet Yarn Company.
This was my first attempt at grafting, I think it turned out pretty well and it wasn't nearly as hard as I feared. Of course, the mottled colorway hides a multitude of sins. I wouldn't want my first attempt to have been on solid cotton yarn!
