These two sweaters — Gretchen Jones’ on the left and Meganimal’s on the right — have each been lodged in my brain since the moment I saw them. I’ve known for some time that my next sweater will be a big, mocha tweed, modified-grandpa sort of thing. I ordered the yarn weeks ago and finally cast on Sunday night, and I have a whopping four rows toward a cardigan! I’m dying to have some time to make headway, especially because I’m largely improvising this one, so there’s a good chance I’ll rip it out a time or two. I love the adventure of this.
