Knitting

Today I cast on for St. Moritz.

St. Moritz is a Dale of Norway sweater; multi-colored stranded colorwork, with 5 colors, and more than 2 colors per row (that makes it harder, for those of you non-knitters).

I bought yarn for this years ago while I lived in Dayton, but I'm not making this one for me. Actually, I'm making it in a 2 year old size for my nephew Conor. Judging by the sizes in the books it's going to fit him until he's 10 - but I'm trusting the book, and if my gauge is a little bit tight, then I'm okay with it.

So far i'm only about 80 stitches into it, so no pictures, but possibly tomorrow.
