Something I like

I am liking Something Red. It is easy to work, the yarn works well with the pattern, and there is no question with gauge. I must say that it is much easier to knit a teeny bit tighter than it is to try to knit looser! I was measuring 17 sts per 4 inches instead of 18; all I am doing is pulling on the yarn to tighten it up a bit every 10 or so stitches and the cardigan is knitting up really well. I like the feel of the fabric; not too loose. I read ahead and it looks like the knit that I made for the 2 kids. I don't know if it will be done in time for Stitches West 2009 but at least I am enjoying it.

I can't believe Stitches is only 2 days away! I am counting the hours!
