Cable, Montana is a ghost town now. It might not have been born at all if not for three prospectors who bedded down for the night. They woke the next morning to find that their horses had wandered off. In the search to find them, they came upon a vertical pillar of quartz that extended down about 1,000 feet. They called their discovery the Atlantic Cable Lode, a tribute to the laying of the transoceanic cable, and the town was born.

The hats and mittens of this collection where inspired by Montana’s rugged pioneers.

If you have questions or problems with these patterns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope you enjoy knitting these as much as I enjoyed designing them.
