CS2008 2 more FO's

I have finished the Cable Luxe Pullover and I love this sweater. The sport weight yarn made for a lightweight (read indoor wearable) sweater. The drape is great. hubby says it looks like a maternity sweater but it really doesn't. It has a bit of swing to it and will be something I can wear to work or with jeans. Done both already by the way! With it being woolease it goes from washer to dryer very nicely!  So here are the pictures.

The other FO is the sweater for my niece KaIty's Christmas present. This is really warm and soft at the same time. The colors are nice and bright just like she likes. I would actually love to make an adult version of this sweater but I'm thinking light blue and grey for the color work.
Any way, on with the pictures.

In other news we had a lovely turkey day and a nice quiet weekend. No Black Friday for me. I did however get the Christmas tree put up and decorated. I have a few more outdoor decorations to do and I need to send off my Christmas cards. Shopping will be done in the next couple of weekends and then Mom will be here to celebrate the holidays with us!

In regards to CS2008 there are almost 30 members in the Ravelry group and everyone is working diligently on their projects it seems. I have 3 more to try and get off of the needles by the end of the year. We'll see how that goes. I am now plugging away at the Adrienne Vittadini cabled pullover. I have finished the 50 rows of ribbing that it required and am working on the cables. I messed up a row of cable at lunch today and now need to frog back a couple of rows but hopefully I'll get back on track tonight with it. I would like to have the front completed by the weekend and then get the sleeves done by the end of next week. We'll just have to see how that all goes though. I should be working on the other 3 that I have going but the ribbing is what got me to carry this thing around. Knowing I had 50 rows of mindless ribbing made it the perfect carry along project.

Well it's late and my children require dinner. Update on the son though- he is now brace free, going to physical therapy twice a week and in the last couple of days has quit using his walker and wheelchair. He still has a bit of a limp but has made great progress in a short period of time. He may start taking the bus next week again which means I won't be playing chauffeur to and from school any more. Slowly but surely we are getting back to normal around here. 

One picture for you too. The kiddos at Halloween.

Love, love, love your Cable Luxe! I tried on a sweater at the Gap that looks exactly like it. Now I know I just need to knit my own!
