If you know me, you have probably been the reluctant recipient of one of my ill-fated scarf projects. Let me take this opportunity to apologize for that. OK, moving on.... I am happy to announce that my knitting skills have progressed to the point that I can now make things I'd actually want to wear! Here's a shot of my most recent accomplishment, which involved branching out into the world of cables- MUCH easier than I thought it would be. While I was buying the yarn from my favorite local yarn store, I got a great tip: instead of buying a cable needle (to make cables, you have to temporarily take a few stitches out of the mix, and a cable needle is designed specifically for this purpose) you can simply use the tapestry needle you have lying around (usually used to weave in ends when you've completed your piece). I got the pattern from this clever book, which had a ton of interesting projects. I love making things.
