WIP Wonder

I don't think I have ever posted on a WIP before, but there should always be a first time, shouldn't there?  

Today as I was sitting on the floor ripping out about 6 rows from my cardigan, I thought it looked so pretty I had to take a picture of it.  Why was I ripping out rows you might wonder?  Apparently I am numerically challenged.  There were 255 stitches before I started the diamond pattern, I swear.  But by the time I got to the 8th row of the pattern I was down to 254.  Where that one stitch went I have no idea, but there you go, it happens.  Rip rip rip, and start over.

I am really enjoying this project, as I haven't done a top-down cardigan before.  I am knitting it in pure undyed wool.  It is Lyon's Brand Fisherman's Wool that I bought for another project, then completely forgot about.  I am a little bit in love, just in case you didn't know.


And just for fun, here's a picture of my little helper.  She is the softest most lovely dog in the world.  No, I am not biased.



 Here's is where I hop:

    I though it was going to be a decoration of some sort until I started reading, I really like the pattern you are using for the you cardy :)

    Although your little dog looks so cuddly and soft too!!

    It looks gorgeous :) You have a lot more patience than me, I'd have fudged it by making an extra stitch and hoped for the best (this might be why I don't really do lace though!)

    I can't decide which is prettier- the lacy cardigan or the adorable dog!
