blue #2 lake

what exactly is that? my fruit runts say they contain blue #2 lake, blue #1 lake AND blue #1. so what is the difference between blue #1 and blue #1 lake?

but on a less ponderous note, the zip it cardigan along is up! i am working on the Men's Zip Raglan from Last Minute Knitted Gifts and honestly, am more than a bit nervous about sewing the zipper in, so i started a cardigan knit along for other zipperphobes so that we can work through this together. the criteria? well, it needs to be a cardigan and it needs to include at least one zipper. The pattern, yarn, etc. are up to you.

in further news, i am still swatching for the aran-a-long. spent last night watching an Elizabeth Zimmerman tape while trying cable-needle-less cabling. EZ deserved better attention than she got: i will watch that tape again.

The one swatch i do have done, however, i am not sure i will use. i am not very into hearts:

and yet i do like the pattern.
