#ChristmasEveCastOn fireside sweater. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib.... Haven't done cables in ages. Excited and nervous

In front of the Christmas tree there is the top third of a hand knitted vest in progress. The colors are blues, greens, and browns. Sitting on the in progress vest is a pink copy of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. The vibes are perfect.

Christmas Eve Cast On with my Christmas Eve book. It's a good day.

Cast on is the Celestial Ōshen Vest by Ōshen Knits, and I'm using random stash yarns.

A round of knitting sits on a stone floor. The knitting is a bright green-leaning turquoise, and consists of ribbing at the lower edge of the cowl. A white red and black Chinese porcelain cat stitch marker marks the beginning of round, the cake of yarn sits off to one side.

Photo taken just at the end of the ribbing. Very pleased with how this is looking. I've now embarked on the main body of the cowl and the first round of cables has been completed. Looking good! #ChristmasEveCastOn 🧶
