    About

    I made 8 cabled sweaters for various family/ friends as Christmas presents last year. I did not make one for my mom at the time cause I wanted hers to be one of a kind and special. This sweater was the result, and I was able to finish it in time for her 76th birthday on Aug. 19th. I am very pleased with how it turned out and it was a pleasure to knit, as well.

        Hi Cheyenne,
        The pattern book is the one shown in the photo... Hayfield "Favourite Aran Knits 3 (384 code C). The pattern was called "Woman's V-neck cabled long cardie". Hope that helps!

        So do I! The wool also lends itself well to cable patterns, which are my favourite knitting projects. Kim.
