Off to a good start

I've started the left front panel of Ljod and it is fun and challenging:

That photo really sucks. I sure wish my camera had better macro capability.

I've done regular ol' cables before, but not these celtic or viking types. They're not too terribly hard, once you get the hang of the how the chart works. I've had to rip back a row more than once because I wasn't paying close enough attention to the chart. But now I think I understand what I need to look for at the beginning of each row - and the wrong side rows never have any action in them, so that cuts the requirement for concentration in half right there.

I do like her Silky Wool yarn, too. This will make a great all-season garment!

I had the pleasure of touching Silky Wool yarn at a yarn shop in Sagatuck, Michigan while on my trip. The color's were very nice and earthy as I remember them. I resisted buying any though as I already had my sites set on the alpaca. It is very nice yarn though and should make for a very beautiful cardigan for you.
