New project, new technique.
It's Fetching! My very first cable project and so far, so good. I really like this yarn too. I'm using the Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora my SP9 pal, Cate sent me. This is about an hour and a half of messing up, re-knitting and nearly dropping stitches.
Did you know that it is hard to take a good picture of the moon? I've been trying on and off for a while now.
Changing the settings and angles doesn't seem to do a whole lot. I think a tripod would make it easier to keep the camera steady on slow shutter speeds, but not much is helping with the glare.
Last night the moon was huge and combined with the reflection off the snow, it was like twilight out all night. You would never know it from those pictures though. Ah, well. I haven't gotten through all the settings yet. Keep trying.

Your Fetching is looking lovely!
And how about my amazing predictive skills in choosing a color for you that you would be able to use during the first month of Project Spectrum?

That color is truly cool! Love it! And be careful with those cables, girl, they are wicked addictive once you get into them!
