linty oatmeal cardigan
Actually, my out-of-the-packet oatmeal is more yellow than I expect oatmeal to be.
Despite my lingering apprehension regarding this sweater, I persist. I'm now half-way up the second front. I keep thinking I've reached my stall point...and then I knit another row.
I'll know the precise moment when I've had enough. Not there yet. Maybe the limit is assembly.

I love it and all of the tbl stitches... though I know how tedious they can be. Here's hoping your limit is somewhere after assembly!
[the oatmeal there looks like polenta, very strange. ]

That's going to be a very elegant cardigan. I like the simple mirrored cables. :-)

I am confused as to why you are having such trouble liking this sweater that you are making. It is beautiful, color-and-all. Keep going!

If this is how it looks unblocked, your knitting is absolute perfection. The color looks more like a greyish brown to me. Very elegant.
