This is the Aran jumper for cousin's son's 1st Birthday, and I have to admit, I had to rip it back yesterday morning, I noticed on Thursday night that I hadn't done a cable in the correct position, I ummed and arred if I would just let it go or not, yesterday morning with a clear head, I just ripped it back, right back to the beginning. It is looking really good now, I am taking it to SNB this arvo, I might just take something easy as I really have to concentrate on this pattern and only have a week to finish it, so I can't afford more mistakes.
I have been book shopping with all the extra money I am saving from the stashalong while I am on the yarn diet. I got Mason Dixon, Yarn Harlot Knitting Rules and two Readers Digest Knitting books.
My next big spend up will be at the Sydney Craft Show on 17 June at Darling Harbour, I can't wait. The Knitters Guild of NSW are having a big display, guilds around NSW teamed up together and had a theme of either: Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring and each group had to knit to that theme. Kiama, Goulbourn and Southern groups got Winter. It is amazing what people will come up with for each theme.

hopefully these books can inspire for the next sale
Hi Annie,
My yarn diet has also released funds for book purchases LOL!
I also bought Knitting Rules and find it very handy.
You know, I think my mum and I have both knitted that little jacket!! Everyone is buying books - don't forget some reviews - Please??!!!
Oh that baby cardigan is just gorgeous, and so is the other one. Buying knitting books is great. I have been having a bit of a spree too. At least buying new books can also mean using up your stash too.
The jacket is just toooooo darling!
