Knitting is where my heart lies, but my soul is consumed with crochet. I find the dimensional aspect of crochet intriguing and constantly inspirational.

In the case of this afghan, the inspiration was a knitted piece, but I find the crocheted cables more fun to work than knitted ones—they’re relatively simple and very engaging.

This is a great chance to perfect your crocheted cable technique before you move on to a more complex fitted shape.
