now i've got cable!
yay! (all the super advanced knitters can stop reading or start laughing now because i'm about to rejoice over a very simple knitting technique....)
i cabled! and i liked it! check it out : my first cables
aren't perfect, but i'm so proud. and you were all right - they were easy, but they look pretty darn cool. it's the little things that make this knitter happy.... like a little halter top to brighten my day! it's a little shorter than i had planned, but now it's a sexy going out kind of top, and you can never have enough of those. yay finished object!
and in other knitting news, i met with some ladies from work today and we're going to knit a bunch of swatches and sew a quilt to donate to a local charity. fun times! i haven't gotten together with knitters in person in a long time and i wore my cleo. everybody loved it and i felt happy. i kept talking about my online knitting friends though....my monkey knits girls rock! the group i met with today is jealous of my fun virtual knitting group.
and, to wrap up a happy happy knitting post on this knitting blog, my Denise Interchangeable Needles arrived today! i am a happy knitting girl. now, if my work could calm down and i could spend a little quality time with my honey...i'm never satisfied.

Those cables rock! I am muy impressed. The braided part looks ever so complicated. ;)

Ha, ha, I knew you would break down and buy those needles. That's exactly what I did.....debated and debated and before I knew it I hit thecheckout button on my shopping cart and it was a done deal :). I love them.

Congrats on the cable! Imagine, I paid to take a class and was shocked to discover it is much easier and more fun than it looks. Great work ;-)

Hi Carrie! Welcome to the GA ring. You made me realize that the only cable in my future is the cable I can knit. Sigh. Yours look great!
