============================
Onde = Wave = Ombre

the excitement continues!

Who knew this cardi would be so HIP?! The Onde/Ombre/Wave look is all over the place and I'm knitting mine as fast as my little fingers will go.

It's become my TV viewing knitting - who could protest the simplicity of stockinette stitch while gobbling up some fields and frames of pixelated pixels?

Last night, I got 5" done on my first sleeve - enough to now see the WAVE begin. You can see the ball has shrunk dramatically and now is a very pale lavender. Amazingly, the picture won't *look* absolutely exciting until it goes to white and you can see the whole progression.

WHO doesn't NEED these?
