The Cable Edition.
In expanding beyond knit and purl, I've done a fair amount of cabling.
I started with the striped sweater, an easy cable in four easy pieces, done in Noro. The pattern is out of Knitting Simple Sweaters from Luxiurious Yarns.

Then, I went big. I did the green top, which impresses everyone. The pattern is the Wedgewood Blouse from Summer 2006 Interweave Knits (which I used to love, but now that they've changed editors, most of the patterns are yucko -- I probably won't renew). If they only knew how easy it was (well, once I got my question answered by the nice staffers at Interweave) it was a breeze. I did it in Cascade Pima Cotton, a bag I got on my trip to San Diego last year. It was the Black Sheep in Encinitas, CA -- the best yarn shop I've been to in my life (and Andrew will attest I've been to a lot of 'em). Actually, the Black Sheep also supplied the main color of the intarsia sweater from 1/7/07's entry. And a top I made with Berroco Seta and some novelty yarn.

Then, I finished the blanket my mother had started and never finished. I gave it to a friend who got married.
