I wasn’t sure how the Malabrigo would look knit up with the cables and reverse stockinette for the Easy Street Pulli.

With sleeve one complete, I realize that it works quite well.

Ravelry’s new group feature is splendid! Have you joined any groups yet? I joined about 20 groups myself, but I also started FOUR . All of them have some great discussions going. I would love to see you there! (and if you are still waiting for an invite, join us then!)

    Beautiful! I think Malabrigo may be one of my favorite yarns ever! :)

    i knitted two items with malabrigo and now looking at yours, i’m inspired to make another sweater with it. yours looks so lovely and soft.

    Looking good so far. You can’t go wrong with Malabrigo!

    WOW it’s gorgeous! It’s always a leap of faith doing cables with yarn that changes colors, but yours IS working very well. Not too busy at all. I really like the color play.

    I thought I was a little nuts (joined 16 groups, started 1). But hey, it’s really fun! GreenCraft has some really good ideas going. Namaste Knitters sounds fun too… oh man. I’m in trouble. ;)

    That is gorgeous! Ravelry groups are so addctive, aren’t they?

    Yummy Malabrigo! So soft and pretty! It looks great with the cables, who knew?

    Are you alternating skeins?

  11. Sarahon 24 Jul 2007 at 7:59 am

    Gorgeous — the Malabrigo is definitely working well with this pattern!

  12. Sarahon 24 Jul 2007 at 8:59 am

    Lolly - that is turning out gorgeous! Great yarn choice.

  13. Leighon 24 Jul 2007 at 9:00 am

    The malabrigo is beautiful as cables!

    The Malabrigo work out beautiful, and your stitches are really even , perfect.

    Mmmm Malabrigo! You’re right, it really is working well! I can’t wait to see the Pulli when it’s done.

  16. theresaon 24 Jul 2007 at 9:33 am

    GORGEOUS malabrigo. Addictive to knit, too, since it feels sooo good.

  17. Hillaryon 24 Jul 2007 at 9:55 am

    That sweater looks great so far. I really love the colors.

  18. lucyon 24 Jul 2007 at 10:18 am

    It’s quite an attractive color and the cables look very nice and distinctive. I was tempted to buy some malabrigo yarn but didn’t have the slightest idea what to knit…. but now, some ideas will start creeping into my mind!

  19. Steph Bolingeron 24 Jul 2007 at 10:19 am

    Mmmm, that Malabrigo is looking yummy! Why am I suddenly thinking about blueberry parfaits?

  20. Kathrynon 24 Jul 2007 at 10:25 am

    Really gorgeous yarn. I’m feeling a knitting project coming on.

  21. Aliceon 24 Jul 2007 at 10:57 am

    I agree, that looks amazing so far, I cant wait to see how it progresses!

  22. Yayaon 24 Jul 2007 at 11:11 am

    I LOVE Malabrigo! I’m using it for the “My So Called Scarf” pattern and it feels so soft and squishy. It’s a fantastic yarn. . .

    Oh, and the discussions in the GreenCraft group you started have really taken off!

  23. Traceyon 24 Jul 2007 at 11:37 am

    That Malibrigo is gorgeous!!!

  24. Elinoron 24 Jul 2007 at 12:36 pm

    Oooh, I think it looks great!

  25. Dorothy Bon 24 Jul 2007 at 4:01 pm

    The Malabrigo is looking fabulous for that pattern. Your newest socks are perfect too and please say nothing about the book, I won’t get mine until Saturday.

  26. Ginnieon 24 Jul 2007 at 4:45 pm

    What a beautiful start to your sweater! The colors are just gorgeous.

    I’m still waiting for my Ravelry invite, and I’m getting impatient/jealous hearing about all the cool features:)

  27. heatheron 24 Jul 2007 at 5:15 pm

    yum, malabrigo is great stuff, quite luscious.

    Ravelry rocks, I hope they can let everyone in soon!

  28. tiennieon 24 Jul 2007 at 5:31 pm

    It looks beautiful!

  29. Zondaon 24 Jul 2007 at 5:46 pm

    Very beautiful! Lovely colors!

  30. Lauraon 24 Jul 2007 at 7:44 pm

    Wah! Now I’m wishing I signed up for Ravelry when I first heard about it - there are still over 2000 people ahead of me in line…

  31. rachel ion 25 Jul 2007 at 1:35 pm

    lordy, that yarn looks delicious.

  32. ZhiWenon 26 Jul 2007 at 4:37 pm

    Oh.. this colour is really very pretty. *Pets*, I had no idea Malabrigo was this yummy!

    Ah, I just joined your Namaste group, I’ve been wanting to pick up (Sivananda) yoga practice again for ages anyway, I may get inspired by all the likeminded people to really kick myself and start again :)

  33. Brendaon 27 Jul 2007 at 7:38 pm

    Fabulous cables and Malabrigo! I just love those colors!
