While the KAL officially began yesterday, I am holding off on beginning a new EZ project (which will most likely be Meg's Arch-shaped Stockings) until I finish my EZ circular Aran sweater from The Opinionated Knitter/Leaflet #6, Spring 1961.
Here's my swatchcap, top:
and side:
Love that Sheepfold design of EZ's. Here's the body so far:
The row of blackberries will run up the center front and back. Since the sleeves will be steeked, I may use this piece as a demonstration sample for some knitter friends who have expressed dismay at the thought of steeking. I'm also thinking of doing a cowl neck, to make this a super-warm, dog-walking-through-the-park sort of sweater. Now I just need to finish it, and find a dog!

glad to have you back on the blog scene! i love the color and stitch pattern of what you have here! i wish i could find time to participate in zimmermania but i don't think that i will :( i'll just have to live it through all of the other participants!
i peruse the zimmermania posts but i'm currently working on the fair isle yoke sweater from WG, WG video, Spun Out and OK. like your cap and sweater so far. i love cowls and really dont know how to knit a 'proper' one!
I think the Swatchcap is adorable! I have also thought about joining Zimmermania but I was in a knitalong for Knitter's Almanac and never even cast on anything. sigh
