New things

I have just completed the my first complete repeat of a cable pattern ever. I then proceeded to take a very bad photo of it.

You can barely see the cables :( The yarn looks good though :)



I cast this hat on as I wanted a small project, which it will be, but it didn't feel like it, when I cast on 122 stitches! I am making it out of the cashmere I won (see icon) and it is lovely to work with, but staining my hands/needles something chronic. If this continues post blocking I might not want to wear this hat in the rain, for fear of getting a blue forehead  - whioh wouldn't be the best look for work, methinks.

I am quite proud of myself for getting this far  - and I am getting the hang of cabling ok too. Which is just as well, seeing as I rather like the look and have a *lot* of cabled patterns I would like to make.

Ah yes rugby... I have one very happy man in the house right now. Mind you, if he sings "WE TRASHED THE BASTARDS" one more time, I might have to bring out the duct tape. It's men smashing into each other... it's not about skill, it's about.... complete and utter idiocy *sighs*.

I am sorry, I have to disagree. It is about men bashing into each other with a considerable amount of skill

Fair dos to the Boks. We were crap, they weren't

Thanks Bry, I will see if I can get a clearer photo next time.

I am loving this hate (except for the turning blue bit)
