Great work Benne - though you need to get DH to take a picture of you in Casual cables, as it looks even better in person!

You are a lovely knitter, Benne. Like Eileen, I wish I could see you in them. Can`t you teach your clever pooches to use a camera and tripod?

Benne, Wonderful knitting, and yes, they do need someone in them. What are you planning to do with the swatches of WB and mohair? It must be a thick fabric, too warm or not? for the Tennessee winter.

Thanks ladies. I cannot tell you how nervous I was about showing Eileen and Theresa my casual cables. I really like making cables and DH was impressed. Let`s go on letting him think I`m a knitting genius. Maybe he won`t complain about the yarn everywhere so much.lol You almost need sunglasses to look at the red parrot sweater. lol It looks a little orange in the picture but it`s really a scarlet red. It`s my find me in the crowd sweater. :-}
Jamie, it usually gets cold here in the winter and very damp which sinks into my arthritic bones. We did not get below zero this winter but it was 1 or 2 above for a couple of weeks. It`s frequently way below 20 degrees for days at a time. I think I`ll probably rip my swatches but redo them for pockets on the coats. I wasn`t thinking about pockets when I was casting on, I was having too much fun watching the yarns blend.
I`ll try and get DH to take my picture in my cc sweater. Now my youngest DD wants one, and if she gets one, so does older DD. I should know this pattern by heart before I`m done. I think I`ll use the Uros for theirs since I don`t have any more alpaca. (sniff,sniff)

Hey-
Very nice red parrot sweater-I wanted to tell you that you don`t LOOK your age in your pictures, and your sweater says your attitude is more in line with the age you look!

Benne,
Great job on the sweaters. I agree we want to see you in the sweaters! I think both will look very good with your coloring. What are you knitting on now?

Thanks Pat,
Right now I`m trying to finish oldest DD`s Valeria di Roma Capri coat on the free patterns section. It goes fast, but the yarn is fine and splits easily and I wish I had some pointy needles in a 9! I may break down and get some Bryspun or Inox for it. I`m sending your Brilla out today.

Ditto to all the sends...I`m cactus green with jealousy! (lol)
I do have one question, tho...the WB/mohair swatches are awesome; did you use the 6 ply or the 3 ply WB? What needle size? (just so I can get an idea)...
Believe it or not, I sent a bunch of stuff to the dry cleaners this week, so should be ready to take pix soon (finally!)...you gals are so camera-smart, and I can`t figure out how to use a single use unit (sigh)...nevertheless, I will try.
Again, incredible stuff, Benne...but when do you find all the time?
