Superb! Those are just perfect cables. It won’t be too long until we have more daylight hours to enjoy.

Thank you, he loves it so I’m happy :blush:
I cannot wait for some good light to work with - that pullover nearly blinded me!! Dark green is as bad as black lol

makes a note of that - not that I’m thinking of buying any more yarn you understand :joy:

Ooh I love the socks!

I’m doing my first ever colourwork (beginner knitter) – the Icicle Sweater. I’m making it with long sleeves instead of short and so now I’ve taken the appropriate fifteen years to complete the first sleeve (that’s what it felt like, anyway, haha); will cast on for the second sleeve today. Got a picture from a short while ago showing the front & back safety-pinned together (don’t mind the spots, my bathroom mirror of course wasn’t flawless… I have mirrored the picture to be the right way around again, though). Really happy so far!

Fabulous top. You’ve knitted so neatly.
Is the back Co,oired differently, it looks like it’s black at the top?

Yay, thanks! Yes, the back is all in the main colour, as per the pattern. I guess it will look less jarring once the sleeves are attached. :grin:

I’m half way up both sleeves of the sweat pea cardigan


But making it in king cole limited edition which is a recycled yarn.
Didn’t like the yarn to begin with, very acrylicy (That’s a word, honest), but as it’s made from recycled plastic bottles I should expect it be be acrylicy. I’ve got used to the yarn now though. I think this pattern would be better with yarn that had more definition in the stitch so the cables showed up better as they disappear somewhat with this yarn, more of a subtle look.

Hoping I’ll be finished this month.

@Nanny189 what yarn do you use? Your projects always look lovely.

That’s such a cute pattern! And added bonus for it being sustainable via the recycled yarn!
