      Comment: Ooo, very pretty. What kind of a heel is that - regular short row? Yes, knitting socks for other people is always tricky. I figure you have to trust the measurements!

      Comment: Thank you! Yes, I figured that garter stitch would trap more air and be more warm.

      Comment: You’re so on top of things with your Christmas knitting already underway! I’ve just barely started to think about mine. I have a feeling it’ll be plenty of dishcloths … always useful and machine washable.

      Comment: It’s beautiful - looks perfect for overly air conditioned places! Is the main body in garter stitch?

Eye Candy: Cables

I tried really hard to get a photo that does justice to the beauty of these cables. They almost look sculpted. Since I don’t have a great camera (it needs a ton of light for any good detail) and I’m not familiar with using the proper flash so I could preserve the shadows, I had to doctor the photo up quite a bit before it looked quite right.

I spent a lot of time last night, and all of this morning working up to where I am now. I just need to do the neck shaping and knit the button band and neck band. I have a feeling if I really tried hard I could finish this weekend. So far I’m pretty confident about the fit as I’ve been able to try it on too!

    Speaking of cables - check out this pattern - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cable-comfort-throw

    It is quite amazing what you can do with yarn.

    Ohhh, that looks nice and cushy and warm. Tell me about it though, I’ve seen pictures of some crazy things, such as a knitted Ferrari!
