Anyway, I decided to go ahead and knit the sweater. Perhaps we can figure something out for Christmas pictures. Who knows? If nothing else, Ethan will have a lovely sweater to wear this winter.
I'm using my handy reference book for the basic pattern numbers and decided to use Barbara Walker for the design. I chose to do a panel of the Triple-Braided Diamonds down the center. The rest is a little gem called Crossed Stockinette. It's very subtle, but I like the look of it. Just gives a bit of texture without adding any bulk.
In real life, the yarn is not this color. It truly is a wine color - not this odd shade of purple:
So far, so good with the pattern - that is one complete run of the cable pattern. It's just slow, the cabling.
In other news, my feet have been really cold today, despite the 75 degree weather, and I think it is mighty sad when I have to wear mismatched handknits simply because I haven't gotten around to knitting the mates to these socks.

Perhaps that makes the socks not so lonely!
Could be a new trend. A useful trend for people with a single, lonely Jaywalker in their knitting baskets.
I love your mis-matched socks. Its a knitters secret handshake kind of thing. Anyone who's ever knit socks will see your feet and nod in fellowship!
