I love cables. I hadn't knit cabled garment for a long time though. Recently I knitted this vest for myself. Now I have some upcoming projects in mind and if thoughts materialize I should have something to post in the nearest future.
It is nice to create texture. Cables match beautifully with other stitch patterns and it is interesting to think of different ways how to allocate cables along the garment.
I am not sure what's the correct word to name the latest project I knitted. It is a combination of dress, tunic and top. I had a very rough idea of what I am knitting once I started. It is done bottom up in the round, ties knitted separately and sewn on.
My first Etsy custom order was this cabled vest. I wish I would have done garter edging at the bottom a bit differently but otherwise quite satisfied with the result. Hope the customer likes it too.
I used Bendigo Woolen Mills 8ply Luxury in Purple Storm, 4.5mm needles.
Rather quick tunic in short rows and cables made with lovely Sublime Soya Cotton yarn. I love the feeling of that yarn and it is really nice to knit with. The finished garment is extremely soft and drapey. Unfortunately the yarn is discontinued.
