of my finsihed Cosmoplutoknits cardigan.

Here are the stats that real knit bloggers give:

Cosmoplutoknits Raglan Version 2.0

Yarn: Knitpicks Swish Superwash in Indigo Heather

Gauge: 4.5 sts / inch
(on 9s for me, but I knit loose)

Options taken: Optional shaping! For a more fitted look.

Choose seedstitch collar, cuffs and hem.

Buttons: FOUND at Mosaic in Desplaines

Buttons Placed by : Sonny my sweet buddy at the cleaners. (10 buttons.....3 dollars)

Note: I opted for skit in front and back of stitch for increases . The Make 1 increases left a hole when I tried them.

I may have to post another shot of this not buttoned up. I don't have a shirt to wear under it yet, for that look.

Please ignore the brown pants. Al wasn't supposed to get them in the shot. Imagine black okay? Oh and Imagine me 10 lbs thinner too! Ah what the heck.. I yams what I yams
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Looks great!!! The fit looks wonderful, and it seems like the perfect sweater for the season.

Great pumpkin, too, by the way.

You and your sweater are both gorgeous! I love the color (with brown or black). I also love the seed stitch collar and cuffs.

The sweater looks great! Brown pants? What brown pants...and that must be the camera angle, cameras always add pounds- the evil things.

Seriously... the sweater does look great, and great on you! Just in time for the season... I like the pumpkin witch too.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
