I should note that the kitchenered back seam of the Pink Granite sweater is nearly invisible. A perfectly rendered kitchenered seam would be completely invisible, of course, but I think I did darn well (pun!) for a second attempt at kitchener stitch.

I'm adjusting to the Oregon winter, now that the bad storm that was present on my arrival has passed. I no longer think of highs in the 40s F as cold.
