Can't Fight It

I tried so hard, but when there would have been two bright fuschia stripes right next to each other due to a knot, I gave in. I broke the yarn and joined a new ball. The front of the cardigan looks so much better than it would have.

I also got my swap match for Alison's Sockapalooza. Since I decided that doing SP4 would be the equivalent of spending money on yarn (thereby breaking my resolution), I was glad to find this sock swap. I got lucky -- my swap pal is open to any sort of design and color, so I'm pulling from my sizeable sock stash. I think the design I've chosen is a pretty one. Hopefully I'll have a repeat finished soon so I can show it!
