It finally happened!

Dave has finally embraced my obsession with knitting & with bags, providing a birthday present that allows me to combine the two! He even went through the trouble of ordering the bag on-line, not just picking it up on a whim. I love it! He went one step further into Michelle-specific gifts and got me a copy of Vegetarian Times. See what 4 years of marriage can do? He finally gets me!

Here's what's on my needles -- it's a sweater for one of my friend's bun-in-the-oven. It's the Elizabeth Zimmermann Best Baby Sweater pattern, but I bastardized it into a stockinette stitched/seed stitched edging/cabled sweater. Even though this is pretty simple, I'm learning a lot on it, especially how to undo mistakes without ripping out the whole thing, or tinking back slowly, stitch by stitch. I already finished the sleeves. Sorry for the dark picture, but I think you can see the cables better than with the flash on.
