In a twist

I might not rock at lace, but I'm undoubtedly the queen of cables. To take my mind of the shruggle I started on a cable tunic a while back. The back is finished and I've started on the front - I stopped at that point to go back to the shruggle, but as soon as I've finished the left front of that I'll swop back to the tunic.

The yarn for this is a cotton/acrylic mix. It's lovely to knit with and the stitch definition is great. It's worked really well for the cabling. The yarn given was a cotton, which I think would have turned out much heavier and probably not as cosy.

The yarn for the whole thing cost about £20 - £20 for a handmade cabled tunic! Which just goes to show that knitting doesn't have to be an expensive hobby.


Here's tunic! That's the completed back and the start of the front. I'm really hoping I get it finished in time for the cooler weather.



And here's the close up. Look at those cables! Look at that stitch definition! Cables rock.
