embossed leaves

Everyone's doing such pretty work. I can't show a picture yet but I've just started the embossed leaves today and I'm proud of myself so far... I figured out the 1 x 1 cast on, which I hadn't done before, and am loving the ribbing. That's as far as I've gotten so far. I wasn't sure if a variegated yarn would suit the pattern but I've chosen sort of a muted Koigu in grays and pinks and blues and I think it's going to be okay. Not too busy, delicate enough for the pattern. Anyway, I'll post a picture when my computer's back from the shop. I hope that's soon.
