WIP Wednesday #12 - two at a time

Another Wednesday rolls round, don't the weeks go fast? Just a short post as I've not much to say
On my needles this week is a baby cardigan, the first of 4 for my god-daughter's baby due in October.  This is a pattern I've used several times, but each time I've knitted it I've not been happy with the length of the raglan shaping - too long, so I have adjusted the pattern and we will see how it goes. I am knitting this in Cygnet Superwash Pure Merino DK yarn - cream, on 4mm needles.  It a Peter Pan pattern from book 280, I'm doing a combination of design 1a and 1b - 1b's pattern on 1a's neckline.
 
I have nearly completed the fronts of the cardigan for me, its knitting up really quickly, so aim to try and get this done before I go on holiday.


















Below is the yarn for my next ten stitch, I have done a few combinations of strands and worked out how I want the rounds to look.  I'm hoping that this one will be as successful as the blue/grey combo which turned out to be most people's favourite.
