Back complete!

I'm done the back!!! Wohooo! I'm not sure that the Baruffa Merinos Sei was the perfect substitute yarn for this sweater, but it's doing ok. Even though I swatched, and my stitch gauge was good, the row gauge must be a bit off because it's way longer than called for. When I finished the increases and it says to work even until it is 14.25" (for the smallest size) from cast-on it was already 15" or so.... so I immediately went to the cabling. However, I'm happy that it's a bit longer because I have a fairly long torso and don't like when sweaters don't overlap at least a bit with whatever jeans, etc that I'm wearing. Maybe that's the Canadian in me, but I just don't get short sweaters.

Anyway, to the pictures!



I tried to get a picture of the cabling up-close, which is not very easy to do when trying to hold it stretched out and take the picture with your other hand....
