Hubby is fast asleep so no sneaking in to get the back of the sweater that I have finished, but I took the sleeve I'm working on when I left the room so pics of that instead. I tried a few times to try to capture the cables, but it is quite hard on an overcast day so here goes the first try....



Second try...



Third try...



Success on the fourth try out on the picnic table...



Daughter loves the feel of the pattern and will often touch it to see how different each cable feels...



I got the cables from a book I'm borrowing from the library at the moment, Alice Starmores Aran Knitting. She explains all the reality surrounding the legends of Aran knitting, and gives heaps of cable patterns. At the back of the book there are about 9 designs for sweaters and shawls.



I like St Brigid the best, and when I'm finished hubby's sweater I would love to try to knit it.



In this colourway...



it would suit my colouring well.
Yeah I can dream too.
