Sweater Project

So about that whole wedding thing…

It was a lot of fun. It was great to see Kaetchen again in person. I discovered that I am known to some of her friends as “That Internet Guy” which amuses me to no end. It was really surprising how many of her friends and relatives weren’t aware of her blog.

Mr. Kaetchen is a nice guy. I didn’t get to know him as well as I would have liked, but hopefully I’ll get to seem them again. I knew I liked his style when Kaetchen told me that he wanted to have a roast pig as the entree at their reception. And much to my surprise, they actually got one.

Um, don’t click this link, Cari. You’ll puke.
Last kiss for a condemned pig.

Just before the pig’s last kiss came the newlyweds’ first one.

And to keep my hands busy on the flights to and from Sacramento, I took some of the extra Magpie from Café Bastille and cast on for a matching hat.

The idea here was to knit a strip long enough to wrap around my head and then graft the ends together to form an uninterrupted cable. You can see where I did a provisional cast on to leave live stitches for grafting. I finished the band and Kitchenered it on the last leg of my flight, but it didn’t come out all that well. I think I’m going to undo it and try again. Been a long time since I did any grafting and I’ve never been much good at it.
