And so it begins….
Just thought I would offer a sneaky peak at how my nephews cable knit jumper is coming along.
So we have a single rib, some cables over 4 rows, the diamond twist pattern done over 24 rows and the textured stitch which I think is called blackberry stitch or perhaps I’ve made that up because it looks a bit like blackberries 🤔
I have worked just over 100g of the Paton’s wool blend and I am liking the finish 🙄
The sun is out so hoping for a lovely weekend after a tough week at work. Hope the weather is as kind to everyone else as the sun certainly lifts my mood.
Woolly wishes,
Jane ♡♡♡
WOOLLY WEDNESDAY

Wow, that looks really good. And yes it is blackberry stitch. It was one of my mother’s favourites and I had numerous cable jumpers with a front panel just like that one. Luckily I really liked it. It still looks great too. 🙂

Isn’t it great. We can almost smell spring in the air if that makes any sense at all 🤔

This is totally gorgeos!! He’ll love it, and the patterns look fantastic in this colour and with the yarn. Great stitch definition!

I love the cables! My favorite is the honeycomb cables, I think that’s what they are called?

Thank you. It’s quite soft but has a slightly scratchy edge. Hopefully it is hard-wearing 😊
