I fell off the planet for a bit, as I am wont to do, but some knitting has been achieved!<br \/>\nMy Camber cardi was started a while back. Back in March of 2011, in fact. I did the body, I did the icord edging, and started the first sleeve. There I stalled. She languished, unloved and ignored.  It was all that laceweight black stocking stitch. B-o-r-i-n-g. I&#8217;d pick it up, do a row or two, get distracted by some other project that was prettier, more enticing, less intensive.<br \/>\nThen, when Lily took up residence in the naughty basket, I pulled Camber back out. I&#8217;m kind of embarrassed to admit that once I got back to work, it took less than a week to finish the first sleeve and complete the second.
