Sweater Progress

I made some pretty good progress on my Rios Cardigan.  I cast on and finished the 1x2 rib edge before I left for Christmas at my Mom's and picked it back up tonight when I got home.  I've knit 7 inches so far on the back and the gauge looks fine.  Sorry for the wonky color on this photo I took with my phone:

Here's a more true picture of the color:

I should be able to finish the back tomorrow although I haven't read too far ahead on the instructions.  I think I'll do that tonight.  Most people who know me know I don't read at all.  Except when it comes to my crafts.  My Mom gave me a Borders gift card today and it's already burning a hole in my pocket......
