I've not posted in a while -- I've been busy finishing my Franca cardigan from Cocoknits using Noro Cashmel 100% cashmere yarn. A lot of stockinette stitch but very happy with the finished sweater.

Finished mug cosys from yesterday's steeking class. We met a week ago to learn and practice stranded knitting. Everyone did a great job. (Second photo are the 2 samples I worked up.)
