The Half-Year Sweater

CableJacketDone.jpg

Bet you didn't think I'd ever finish it... I sure didn't! This jacket took much longer than I thought -- the cabling was pretty tedious, so it was easy to put this aside when other projects caught my attention. But I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did.

Here's a picture of the cable pattern which, despite being tedious, is very pretty. Putting in the zipper wasn't so pretty -- it took several frustrating tries before I got it right.

There are a lot of things that I wish were different about this pattern*, but one of the parts I really like is how the pattern continues from the front panel up onto the hood.

*I'll write them up soon and add them to this entry!
