Finished for School

By -



Al's finished with Interweave's Breezy cables in time to start school. This sweater took her a little over a month to knit. She's decided the turtle button isn't needed. I have no doubt she'll find another place for him soon.

I asked her if she had advice to someone else who wants to this, and she said:
Yes. Learn to cable without a cable needle or you'll go crazy.

It fits her great. I'm delighted to show her off to you.
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

Cabling without a cable needle is wonderful, and so much quicker. Wow, that sweater looks great!

I must echo, "Fabulous!" What yarn did Al use? It looks both tweedy and soft at the same time.

Wow, Ali did a great job on the sweater. There are a lot of cables on that (and I love cables)but I don't think I could give up the cable needle.

Excellent! I am so glad to see it finished as I just started this cardigan and just like Al, I am not using a cable needle, I do think I would go crazy if I did! I love the fit, obviously Al did it more fitted than the model, and that looks nice :) Thanks for the pictures.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
