I finally updated Flickr! Here is my current WIP, Evangeline from the latest MagKnits. I looooove the cables on this–so easy and fast!

The yarn is Classic Elite Wool Bam Boo, which is a really interesting blend. It’s super duper soft and has great stitch definition, but I learned that it’s also easily stretched when I frogged the thumb several times (I just couldn’t get it right and finally settled on a slightly messy-looking thumb). The wool content does give it nice elasticity, but the bamboo content is very drapey so it’s an interesting mix. I don’t think I’ll have any issues with it stretching over time, as I went down one needle size than the pattern called for and the cables pull in quite a bit.

Anyway, I’ve cast on the second one and it’s almost half done. Maybe if the crazy weather would go back to being cold, I’ll actually get to wear these this winter!
