Started with large size, did not increase after ribbing. Began decrease to small after 4th cable. They’ll only be able to be worn in one direction but I’d rather a tighter fit around the wrists and hands; that’s just me … Not fond of tubular CO/BO but I did it … We’ll see how I like it.

The merino/cotton should be good and crisp for the cables. Used the srand of alpaca/silk lace for denser fabric and warmth in case the cotton is too breezy.
