    About

    Had this pattern a while but was unable to find the suggested yarn in stock anywhere, think the colour may be discontinued. Anyway I saw this yarn in the January sale at loveknitting at 50% off so decided to give it a try and glad I did as now it’s finished I actually prefer this colour. I did think the yarn was a little harsh whilst knitting it but after a short rinse with fabric conditioner before blocking it has now come up lovely and soft. So pleased about this as I did buy 2 other colours in the sale.

    Notes: I did think the ribs looked a little skimpy on the pattern so added a couple more rows to all of the ribs.

        Thank you, you should go for it, the cables are relatively easy. It looks more complicated than it actually is.
