Notes

(P.S. I think this will be my new knitting bag, lined, with handles. It’s never that cold around here and I can’t bring myself to frog!)

I bought the book “Patterns for Guernseys, Jerseys & Arans, Fishermen’s Sweaters from the British Isles” by Gladys Thompson. This jumper is on page 139.
Using Eunny’s terrific cable writing tutorial, I’ve managed to surprise myself, and wrote out the pattern. It’s great! In fact, I’ve gained a heap of confidence in cabling because of the tutorial. THANKS EUNNY! You’re a marvel, again!
Oh, and for some reason the colour looks grey, but it’s closer to the green in the lower pics.
I highly recommend the Jaggerspun Heather too. Luvverly wool! My cardigan has worn and washed so beautifully!

P.S. The trouble is, I will never wear it. I made it to go to New York in wintertime and didn’t go… might convert it to a bag? Bit of a waste. I’m sick of unravelling stuff… but it’d make a better cardigan. More useful.
Don’t you hate that?
