Project Lust

The planets aligned yesterday while I perused the knitty forum. Someone had posted a link to photos of their completed Bristow, a pattern I'd always liked, but somehow it hadn't made it to my "must knit" list. It all came together when I saw the photos and I knew I had found the right pattern for my yarn. A fitted aran cardigan was exactly the right thing and I have just enough yarn to make the size I want.
Here's my yarn:

The color is reasonably accurate, although it's not quite that bright. It's kind of a dark and gloomy morning, so my flash has over-compensated. As can be expected, I am REALLY anxious to cast on. I may cast on before I finish Somewhat Cowl because I don't think I'll run the risk of not finishing Cowl. I'm having some guilt issues with doing that, though.
Speaking of Somewhat Cowl, it is moving along, despite me not having a lot of time to knit this week. I'm about 1 1/2 inches into the ribbing at the bottom. Soon, I'll start the short row shaping on the sleeves. Yay!
I also managed to mail out the prize to our blog contest winner. So, enjoy!

I remember when that pattern came out & I was eyeing it myself. I love your yarn choice! I can't wait to see the finished sweater!
Great yarn and color choice!
