I can finally reveal a gift project that I never blogged about: The Wheat Ear Cable Yoke! My mom looks at my flickr so I just didn’t bother any WIP pictures on this one. Unfortunately, the picture is horrible. I took it myself. You will have to forgive me. I know all you knitters have beeeaaautiful pictures of all your FOs, but I like KNITTING, not photography. Oh well. You get the idea.

The Wheat Ear

Pattern: Wheat Ear Cable Yoke from IK Summer 2007, by Pam Allen
Yarn: Elsebeth Lavold Classic AL, color Desert Night, just over 9 skeins
Needles: KP Options sizes 5, 7, and 8
Mods: My only mod was doing the collar ribbing in 5s (as opposed to 6) and I only did 4 rows instead of 6 or 7. Not much at all.

The spots are from my mirror, not the sweater (I told you it was a bad picture). But isn’t the SWEATER nice? I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever knitted, maybe even the best of all. And my mom loves it.

Unfortunately, I am getting a little tired of knit blogging. I think I may retire the old knit blog for awhile. I’m still putting everything on Ravelry.
