Finally, a beginning

My Knitpicks Options needles and lovely chestnut brown Salishan yarn (45% wool, 55% pima cotton) arrived a business day early and I started this afternoon. It is looking beautiful already and I'm glad to be knitting along and not just tagging along with this blog. I'm two rows into the eyelet, hard to tell if I'm on track but the counting came out right. I'm very happy with the color and the yarn, and it is going very quickly. This is only my second grown-up sweater, my first (a Ribby Cardi) is done save the collar (3 inches to go) and the zipper. But my new stuff came a day early...! P.S. I love the needles.
