Thanks Michelle for my title. For the Olympics, I'm limping along on my Mr. Greenjeans. I'm not all that excited about how the cables look in the Manos del Uruguay. Duh, it's a thick and thin yarn, Mary-Kay!!!! So, last night at knitting group over at Colorful Yarns, I asked most of the ladies what they thought.... Rip? Or keep going. The general idea was to keep going. The cables are little, but they sure look messy, and I think I'm past the point of no return. Ah well..... it might not look too badly at the end of it all. I guess I'll wait and see. What do y'all think?
And, here's a little summer fun in the back yarn taken with my new camera Byron bought me today.
Here's my new toy....
It's a Canon EOS 40D 10.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera with a 28-135mm Wide-Range Lens. This lens is amazing. It has image stabilization!!! That helps with taking photos in low lighting and speediness. Ok, so I'm back in business with this camera. Yea!
That's all for today, folks.... That's also all she wrote....
Knit on sistas!

Look at the air those two got! Nice work, girls :)
I say keep going with the sweater; I think it looks good and I'm sure after it's washed and blocked things will be even better.

Definitely keep going. If you want to change it when you are finished you can snip a thread at the line between the cables and the stockinette and pick out the row then you can knit a new ribbing down. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it's actually pretty easy.

I think Mr. Greenjeans is looking good, too! I agree with Kim-it will probably look even better washed & blocked.
Cool camera and great photo :D

Mr. G looks great...keep going! I didn't realize you used Manos. I used to LOVE that yarn (based on looks alone) and then I tried to knit a sweater with it. Nightmare! I feel your pain.

Oooh I love it! It's such a pretty colour too.

I'm going to try knitting it in a color as soon as I can dye some of my yarn.
