Hail the conquering hero!

Hahaha. I laugh in the face of Adversity!  (And apparently blink EVERY freakin' time the flash goes off.)


non-blinky photo, but hair in the face. I am in the desert bay-bee.

Pattern: Cable Eight, Interweave Knits Spring 05
Needles: Size 11 vintage Boye interchangeables c. 1968
Yarn: Pakucho in chocolate
size:38
modifications: v-neck, no crochet edging, no cap sleeves.

Knowing that a lot of bulky yarn would make me look like a line-backer, I decided to make some changes.  No crochet cap sleeves, and slap a v-neck in there!  (Hence the trouble with the math last week.)  Here is a detail of the v-neck, nicely using the cable to reinforce the neckline:



And here is a picture of P. making fun of me because I blink EVERY time the flash goes off when he tries to take a picture of me.  Yeah, I am feeling more and more comfortable not hiring a professional photographer for our wedding...what a waste of money THAT would be.



ciao, bellas!

Your Cable Eight is the best I have seen so far! I love the pattern of the cables, but as written it would not be attractive on me or my boobs. Are you going to make your alterations available? I hope, I hope!!!

You did it! It was worth every rip-out. And with that skirt it just SO classy. It's pretty, bulky, cool and classy. And a fast knit. How great is all that?
