Going for gold

My top-down-raglan-cardi is growing, slowly but steadily. I still have a few centimeters to go before I can separate the body from the sleeves and go on with shorter rows. (The sleeves will be a breeeze, stockinette on dps, wooosh!) The body has its cables and the slower purled rows, but it will be fine, I'm sure. I'm thinking of making an icord edge and place a zipper behind it. The collar will be straight and simple, possibly with cables.

I have caables along the front and the raglan "seams". The yarn is a cotton/microfibre mix in a prett blue colour. It's light and makes a nice fabric BUT it shows any incosistencies in the gauge without mercy. My purled rows are slightly tighter than my knit, and it shows. I'm usually a very even knitter, or at least I thought so. Now I think the forgiving elasticity of wool has something to do with that.

Sweden won two gold medals today, both in the ski sprint relay. Luxemburg has one single athlete in the games, a young figure-skater called Fleur Maxwell. Heja Fleur!
