I have my yarn and am knitting away on the EZ Green Sweater (mine is not green, but variegated blue, but what's in a name…?).

"Codex"  (color: Spiel im Morgengrauen) from The Sanguine Gryphon

52% silk/48% Blue-faced Leicester wool

The yarn is GORGEOUS!  Silky, but with body.  And the colors are fabulous — like the sky with a storm coming on, maybe.

I am excited about the pattern (in a totally "knitting nerd" way).  It is full of characteristic EZ techniques and I am bound and determined to execute every one of them.  Sort of an homage.  And, of course, because they are so practical.

I already did the Provisional Cast-On — something I seldom do (which is probably why I screwed it up and had to rip it out and re-do it — with a resource book on my knee this time).  And I am chugging away at the stockinette hem, using individual thumb-loop cast-ons for the increases — instead of the "make one" which uses the running thread of the row below (which is my usual increase of choice).

And there are going to be STEEKS!  But I am trying not to think about that too much now.

I did have to adjust the numbers because my measurements are really between two of the listed sizes (sort of..in a pretty pear sort of way..).  But I think I have the first part all figured out now and I will adjust the numbers of the latter parts as I get to them.
