As I have previously mentioned, I am better at crochet than knitting. But I know that my knitting skills are never going to improve unless I start knitting projects outside my comfort zone. I have baby hats on DPNs under control now and felt it was time to push my boundaries.
I saw this sweater this weekend and feel in LOVE with it!!!

I have never done lace work or cables but I decided to give it a whirl and bought the pattern. I LOVE instant downloads :D
Grab myself a longer size 6 circular needle and some lovely silk bamboo yarn and off I went!!!!

Not completely convinced that the cast on stitches at the end are correct....

I shall keep trying to see how this plans out. I am not giving up and frogging yet. The lace work and the cables are coming out beautifully and I am in love with the yarn. If I am able to pull it off, this shall be a gorgeous sweater with a nice drape. So I shall endeavor to carry on believing in the pattern and my pattern reading skills, which luckily, are pretty good as the pattern has left out a step or two so far.
Wish me luck and check back in for my progress!
