Beautiful 1x1 ribbing
However, I'm gonna call it totally worth it. I love the beautiful Knit Picks cadet blue that I'm working in, and I can't resist a highly complicated chart pattern. And since I'm doing this following the Sweatshop of Love KAL that I originally bought this yarn for, I've cast on the whole body at once which includes 9 different sections of reasonably complex cabling/stitchery. The thing that made the whole thing possible is the fantastic guide that Allyson made to follow all three body sections at once.
And even though I have no photographic evidence of it; I ACTUALLY SWATCHED! This is going to be a lesson in loose tension for me 'cause the only circulars I have were 10s when the pattern calls for a 10 1/2. (and I'm too cheap to buy new ones right now)
What did you do during the Super Bowl yesterday?

I finished a pair of mittens w/ i-cord for my 5-year old, started the test knit for my first sweater design, and started a pair of mittens for myself :)
Look at you! I hope the chart helps you organize all those cables. Can't wait to see it take shape!
