Firstly I must apologise to my SP9 and my criminal pal and winterwonderland swap pal. I have received your parcels but have so busy revising for my exams that I haven’t had time to blog. I have pictures and promise to get them on the blog by the end of the week.
All is well here I have one more exam left on friday then I am free for 17 whole days, in which I plan to knit a sweater (or at least get a fair amount of one done). I have four to choose from they are:
- Forecast – using rowanspun aran-cavier here is one made in this yarn.
- Bulky Green Cables – using rowan plaid-sea thistle
- Wicked! – using rowanspun aran-heath
- V-neck sweater – using rowanspun dk-thorn
I will probably end up chosing one of the aran weights but not sure. A fair amount of yarn was received over xmas, and future projects include:
- Noni Carpet Bag – using Cascade 220 (green and brown tweed)
- Corazen – using Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK (pink and cream)
- Socks – using Sock Hop sock yarn (pink cadillac and beat goes on)
I had better be off as I still have revision to do.
my knitting and me 
I love the bulky cabled cardigan – I bought the pattern for this too and I was thinking of making it with bulky weight Catalina alpaca. I love Rowan Plaid though – I think we had that conversation before when you were making Flood, though, right? Am I remembering correctly? I think I moved my blog to typepad since we last talked so I’ll put the new link in.
I like Bulky Green Cables, too. And a couple of friends are making Wicked. All good choices…guess it just depends on what you feel like when you’re swatching, right?
Hope your exams went well!
I am your coffee and yarn swap pal. I sent your package today, Express mail from the USA. It should get there by Thursday. I am sorry it is so late, I was have been so sick lately. I put a bunch of extra goodies in for you to make up for it. I hope you like everything. Enjoy your free time making your sweater.! :0)

I saw your comment at the Sexy Knitters blog — are you making the 40-43″ size – I am but I’m not a member of the blog so I can’t post over there but I feel like I may run out of yarn, how are you doing on the yarn situation? I’m about 8″ below the sleeves with less than a ball remaining. eek.
