Project-Knit1 Cabled Mini Jumper

Lion Brand Wool Ease in Cocoa-3.5 skeins The pattern required 5 skeins, and i bought them, but as you see, I didn't need it all. My only modification was to knit this in the round, size 8 nylon circs-I hate to seam, and I'll admit, my seaming sucks. This was an easy pattern with no errors. It literally was a no brainer. I gotta say, it was a pleasure to knit this. I love the look of cables, and with wool ease, you really get the definition. I know I've said I hate wool ease, but I didn't want to spend a load of $ on this. I'm not sure I'm too cazy about those 1 1/2 inch button monsters, but I'll reserve final judgement after I've worn it.
What's next? Crochet...I figure I'll do a switch up, and hope my crocheting will be successful. I will say I had to go down one hook size from the pattern because my gauge was WAY off...mine measured 22" across instead of 17". Yeah, I would have been furious if I made this too big. Be on the look out for a wip pic!
