Oh how I love me some Kraemer Yarns Tatamy Tweed. It's very reasonable, has great knubbly bits and since it's cotton + acrylic, you can throw it in the wash.

The pattern is the Rufus Textured Cardigan from Vintage Baby Knits with some mods. I knit a different collar and also went with garter stitch for the cuffs. The buttons are vintage glass.

I holed up last night with disc 3, season one of True Blood and finished up the binding on my string quilt. I loves it so. I have plans for more quilts in the future, but I need to finish up some baby knitting first. Always with the baby knitting.

Also, I just need to vent that I had such a ridiculous meeting at work today. Who knew so many egos could fit into one small conference room?

Okay, back to baby knitting!

I'm pretty proud that I took the time to match up the pattern on the back. Usually I just hurry through things when I get near the end, but I forced myself to slow down. The result: possibly one of the cutest things I have made to date. I loves it!

Pattern: Amy Butler's Barcelona skirt
Fabric: Jane Sassaman's Prairie Gothic
