Cardiff sweater


Looking through old albums, I remembered taking this in 1985 somewhere in Cardiff and wondering if I would ever have a sweet little boy who would wear red cabled sweaters! I used a cable from a baby sweater similar to B Walker's Four-Rib Braid in Second Treasury and complicated things a little with a Double Wave on each side from Third Treasury.

With Thanksgiving behind us already, I am determined to slow the holiday season down. Last year I promised myself I would look into gingerbread and the new issue of Martha has me curious about the wood grain cardamon cookies.

Love that photo--the vivid splash of red against the wet pavement squares. And the sweet boy too!

He's almost 30 now......

Cables and baking with Martha - both irresistable - I'm working on one of her fruitcake recipes this afternoon - brilliantly she advocates macerating the dried fruit before baking the cake so dousing isn't necessary!
