Something Cozy

 

I've started a new sweater!  Right now it looks like I'm knitting a ranch house, but it will be a sleeveless cardigan when it grows up.  (For some reason, this doesn't feel like a vest to me - maybe because it's so oversized?) This is Capture the Moment and in the photo above, you can see the upper back and about half of the upper right front.  The left front is on a stitch holder and a provisional cast on at the moment.  The lime green marker is at the center back of the collar.  Did that explanation help you any with figuring out what you're looking at?  Didn't think so.

I'm knitting it in Malabrigo Arroyo in Prussia Blue which is a super dark navy blue, which means photos are hard to get.  The stitch pattern on the collar section shows up better in real life than it does in photos, but you can kind of see it above.  The stitch pattern is reversible - it's not 100% identical on both sides, but it's close enough that picking the right and wrong sides of the collar section isn't easy.  That's why there's a marker at the center back on the right side, although now that I've added some stockinette as the back and front, it's a lot easier to figure out which side is the right side of the sweater.

Also, it has pockets!  Next time I blog this, I'm going to totally overexpose the photo so you can actually see things.
