Sweater knittin'

I simply had to cast on for the Corsica sweater almost as soon as I saw it. Swatched in a few different yarns and with an array of needles. Settled on Malabrigo worsted and off to River Knits I went. I chose Malabrigo in the Dusty colourway. I didn't check the gauge of the saxon braid band until I finished it (stupid stupid me) and lo and behold the braid was woefully small. Argh.

Finally last night, I was able to cast on with the new needles...seems to be going well so far, but we shall see.
