I'm not finished with my current knitting project, but it's grown too large to take on a plane. I mean, it's grown too large to comfortably knit on a plane, not that it's literally too large. Anyway, the point is that gives me permission to start my next project. It's the Classic Gansey Cardigan designed by Beth Brown-Reinsel, pictured here. (I'm not in this Knit A Long, it's over, just using the picture.)

I got the pattern and yarn from Black Water Abbey and am knitting it in their Blue Stone worsted. Since you have to cast on 242 stitches to start I had a terrible time getting the cast on tail the right length but now it's officially started.

Oh, that's always a chore with long-tail cast-on. But I do love that cast-on anyway.

It's the only one I use unless the pattern tells me to do some other kind. It's the one I know and according to Elizabeth Zimmerman, it's okay for most situations.
