FO- Urban Aran Cardigan

Finally something to show for my hiatus, right? I present the Urban Aran Cardigan. Unfortunately, this is the un-modelled version. I need to take time to do that. I will at some point before the weekend is up. In the meantime, please enjoy the arbitrary on-the-deck picture. Ahem.

Now you will notice that the zipper is nicely done, no? That's because I didn't do it. Honest answer, right? Trust me, I'm not spending all this time knitting cables for me to screw it up by installing my zipper. It was worth the 8 bucks.

On a separate note, is it possible to love an appliance so much that you miss it when you can't cook? My new boyfriend is this new convection oven. It has 5 burners (with an extra griddle) of cast iron and 2 ovens with separate temperature control and convection.
Sorry for the blurry pictures. Another side note, RIP Magknits. Go over to the website and you can see what I'm talking about.
