FO: Shedir
Dudes, seriously. I was pretty happy with this project when I was all done with it last night. And then this morning when I snapped the pictures I had to then dash off to work before I could see how they came out. So I got home and downloaded the pics and they came out pretty good and just looking at the project I’m even happier with it than I was last night.
This was the first project I’ve done that involved cabling for a significant portion of the project; and while the cables aren’t big, chunky, complex things, the number of crosses and complexity was new to me. I just love this and I think my sister will too. She picked this hat out a couple years ago, but I just wasn’t ready to do it (even though I did try).
I need to practice my cabling in general as I do want to eventually make Rogue or something with cable work. I think the heavier gauge yarns do lend themselves to tidier cables, but practice is still needed.
