Actual knitting content!!!
Here are the results of my latest cardigan effort, just in time for the sweltering evening of Halloween, which it spent draped over the back of a chair. Damn weather really does not cooperate with my hobby. This is Elann aran heathered wool, I'm hoping this color will go with just about anything. The pattern is Oblique from Knitty, Fall 2007. I like that the holes let a little bit of whatever color shirt you are wearing show through.
Here is a closeup of the stitches and buttons. I found some leather buttons at JoAnns, but they had a sucky too shiny finish on them that I sanded off, and I've been oiling them a bit whenever I think about it. Its moss stitch on the sides, so I didn't take a picture of that.
Here is me in the sweater. I like it a lot, I don't know that its terribly flattering, but its comfy and warm, and somewhat upscale with jeans. It was fun. I believe I have moved the buttons a bit since I took these photos.
