Purple Cardigan Update

I have been working hard to make a dent on my purple cardigan before the yarn arrives for the helmet liners I've promised to make.

Here are a couple pictures of my progress. The pattern stitch is called "modified lattice stitch."

Overall, this project seems to be moving along s-l-o-w. This picture is the status of the back. To give you an idea of scale, that's a shiny quarter in the lower right.

It's so strange how different the colors look in each picture. The true color is a blend of these two images.
