    About

    My sweetie LOVES cables! He needed a warm winter sweater, so I looked for a knit-in-the-round design that was within my (limited) cable skill set. This pattern worked nicely, although it was confusing at the sleeve break. As with all first attempts, I learned a lot! Next time I'll know to center the neckline so that the shoulder seams match. (PS My elderly cat "helped" -- see photo. He loves to sit on my lap when I knit!)

        Thanks Alison! The yarn gave those cables nice definition. And yes, I *love* my kitty supervisor! There are also photos of him "helping" with the Floe and Fair Isle projects on my page. ;)
