My Replacment Cable

After a week of swatching, I decided to use this cable from Nicky Epstein's Knitting on the Edge as the main design feature of DH's sweater:

I will probably flank it with a version of the plaited cable from the original swatch, but I'm blocking both swatches before deciding on the finished design. Depending upon how much space I have to play with, I'll use either a vertical row of twisted stitches, some seed stitch, or a two-stitch twist to separate the motifs.

I've explained more about my designing process, which lifts freely from such expert knitwear designers as Nicky Epstein, Alice Starmore, and Deborah Newton on my blog, and I've also posted my chart of that cable (to be "proofread") when I knit with it.

So I hope to begin the actual knitting in earnest next week.

I really like that cable, Marjorie - it looks great in that green color. I can't wait to see how this sweater turns out!
