I have no cable challenge because I’m challenged enough trying to finish projects already otn.
I just wanted to say the mug in your picture looks very similar to one I drink from every morning. It has to be from Ron on Etsy. I’ve had him custom make several mugs for me as presents. I’m sure I found him from a link on your blog, thanks .

I’ve done cables before and can’t decide on a pattern. I thought I had it down to the cabled gloves and may end up doing them as I haven’t done gloves yet and the fingers will probably intimidate me more than the cable on it. But, I am still searching Ravelry so that may change.

My first lace project, a simple leaf lace scarf, got completely frogged and restarted SEVEN times before I finally got the hang of it. It was simple pig-headedness that kept me going, but I loved the result. Haven’t started my Challenge project yet, trying to be good and finish my Clockwork scarf/shawl (I can’t decide what to call it) first. I’m going to knit the Highland Fling socks in String Theory Caper, a lovely sage-y green color. But I still to pick up some size 0 DPNs…never knit on anything that small. Gulp.

my project is picked – Sweet Little Nothing beret – pattern downloaded and reviewed – #2 addi lace needle purchased and MT sock in a yummy color on the way from TLE – WHEEEE – maybe I’ll get started this weekend.

Sorry your scarf got a rough start – glad I did not download that pattern after all – but then isn’t it supposed to be “A CHALLENGE” LOL
enjoy! Melody

Tomorrow is D-day. D-day I finally get to start my project! Made myself finish a WIP before starting. My yarn – Tosh Vintage in Mulled Wine arrived on Monday and I am in love with it already. Love the color – love how the yarn feels and I can’t wait to start. The best part is I get to try out the yarn swift DD gave me for Christmas!
Love the scarf and Congratulations on your persistence it definitely was worth it! Yet one more project to add to my to do list! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve finished knitting the Irish Cabled Neckwarmer and need to shop for three buttons to top off the look of the beautiful Teal Feather Malabrigo yarn I chose. The Neckwarmer is a great pattern and I love Malabrigo! I may make another one in a different color. Congratulations on hanging in there, Sheri, and finishing your project. It is lovely! I may have to do that one too! Yikes!
