I present, the birthday invitations for our little cowpoke as well as progress on the birthday sweater. The back is complete and the front is in progress — six more cable pattern repeats until it’s done. The sleeves are just seed stitched so they should go pretty fast. I think if I get the front done this week I should be fine and maybe even have time to block it before the birthday candles get blown out. Then it will be time to jump headlong into Christmas projects and my list just seems to be getting longer and longer. [...]

Isn’t it fun? So, I am assuming this teeny thing is for a baby or is it just your swatch? Don’t forget to wash it and let it dry to see if the yarn “blooms” . Mine usually does and so I go with the after washing gauge.

Grumperina has some directions on how to do it on her site, http://www.grumperina.com/cables.htm. I don’t have vast amounts of experience with cabling but in my opinion cabling without any needle at all is the way to go. Give it a try.

I kept touching the cable samples. Too scary for a newbie like me. Looking forward to watching it unfold.

I never use a cable needle either – usually I just let them hang there, if the yarn is sticky enough.
This is going to be a beautiful sweater.

I long to get out my cable needle, but I promised myself I would get a few (make that several) things done first.

I’m dazzled by knitters…in particular, cable knitters.
