This is a modified version of the Dymphna V-Neck Pullover from Cable Confidence. I liked the simple box stitch center with the cabled sides. However, wanted a little less "oversized" styling and didn't want a V neck. So top down, with the addition of the cabled panel on the sleeve and saddle. The color is so incredibly wrong in the photo, I feel bad even posting it. I sure do love knitting with Cascade 220, and this color is called "blue velvet"... and the richness must be seen in person to really be appreciated.
I also started a classic Ribby Pullover in Cascade 220 (ahhhh, Webs, thanks for the free shipping deal!!!):

This is inspired by a half zip pullover I saw in a JC Penny's flyer. Loved the color combo, so I ordered the yarn, and cast it on! I thought I had ordered a black for the body, but the color (called "jet") is more of a really dark charcoal gray heather. Even better! The yoke is white and violet. Just one more inch on the body then I'll start the sleeves.
One other project (and NOT in Cascade 220, but equally lovely yarn) is the Gaelic Morning Mist:

The back section is just about at the shoulder shaping, then just the fronts (and the sleeves!). Can't say enough about this yarn. I simply adore the color of this yarn and the fabric is so soft and "hazy"... just what I wanted for this cardigan.
So those are mainly what I've been working on. Trying very very hard to not just continually cast on new projects! However, all three of these projects not only have been fun to work on, they'll be practical sweaters when completed! It's too cold to do anything but knit anyway!
