Notes

As the knitting is done, I consider it done for the contest even if I plan to finish it very quickly (and maybe give it to my stepsister who asked whom it was for.)

It is my third project with this yarn.
I was impatient to knit something for the colourmart challenge, and as my yarn did not came before the 22th, I knew I will not see it until next tuesday. So I have decided to add another project to my submission.

I love the look and the color of this yarn. But it is not the softest, and I have already knit two garments with it. An accessory will be a good use for it’s firm hand and rustic look. And the stitch definition is perfect for cables. (I really should put on photos of the two first projects I knit in this yarn…)

(Pick out 3 out of 4. The straight section of the bottom has 42 repeats of the 4 rows stitch.)

The chart is made with the amazing KnitChart Maker by Jacquie. Her program was not working on my big computer, and with the small portable one I have the bottom of the chart cut out. But it helps me tremendously to see the cables instead of only read them. So I thought I could share it here. (Hope it is ok for Norah too. I love love love all your patterns, dear Norah. Please tell me if posting this chart here bother you. I will take it out if you wish.)
