Fluffy sweater pictures!

Why the grumpy face? It’s raining on me!

The sweater is very soft and luscious. And warm. Very warm. Those roses in my cheeks? All natural, baby! It’s close to 70° today even with the Torrential Rain. Also, here is a detail of the twisted rib.

And then the rain drove us inside. No sweater picture is worth ruining your camera.

I tried the MustHave swatch on 4s. And it came out a quarter inch too small. Arguh. SO I am making the 37″ instead of the 38″ and hoping for the best. “It’s a cardigan,” I keep telling myself, “I don’t have to look like a Sweater Girl when I am wearing it.” I have decided to go ahead and make the body as long as the largest size (21″). I really don’t like it when my sweaters are too short for my pants. I am casting on for a sleeve on this lovely, rainy day.

In between MustHave and the Fluffy Sweater, I made a couple of mousies for the cats in my life. Turns out Dinah likes catnip, too, and was willing to crawl into the fluffy sweater bag to get at it (terrible picture, I know, but it was such a funny thing). So I made her a mouse after dinner and she played with it all night long. Betty loves her mouse! It is already really, really grubby.
