Since I finished my March socks a week ahead of schedule I decided to take a break from sock knitting. I managed to cast on the
Mondo Cable Shell by Bonnie Marie Burns of Chicknits last night. I have had the pattern for ages. I had thought the computer 'ate' it when it crashed awhile back. Thankfully it was merely 'lost' in a file I don't remember creating...does that ever happen to anyone else?

| Color Variation |
I'm using another skein from
Three Irish Girls. It's called Rosea Organic Merino which is 100% merino...oops, organic merino. The colorway is a semi solid collection of purples called
Sea Nymph . I love the name although when you see the color it doesn't scream either the Sea or for that matter Nymph to me...not that I know what a nymph looks like, ha. I got lucky and it's knitting up at the correct gauge and the variations of color are looking splendid so far.
Only one concern...is there enough yarn? Maybe. Maybe not. I have a double skein that's says it is 480 yards at 8 ounces. After weighing it I have a wee bit more at 8 5/8 ounces...pattern calls for 475 yards. So if the Knitting Gods are kind I'll have enough...if I get cocky you know what will happen. I'll get smacked down with at least an inch left to knit. The plan...not to get too full of myself.
