lights, camera, freeze

I’m going to talk about this project, first, even though my socks are far closer to being done, because is is much, much, much prettier.
This is my Malabrigo Lace, being knit up into a Featherweight Cardigan. I’d like to modify this a little bit – I’m thinking maybe a hood, and definitely long sleeves with thumb-holes, because I am nothing if not predictable in my dream sweaters.
I wish photos did this justice, but they really can’t – the stitches look big, because I’m working it on 4mm needles (which is what I use for a “normal” sweater), but because the yarn is laceweight it’s working up into this light, fluffy, gauzy fabric that I honestly want to just rub against my cheek, it’s so soft.

[...] suppose I should blog this, since progress on my cardigan is going, but not as dramatic as I’d like. These are the socks that sprung from the Knitters [...]
