If you squint, you can see the cables

I made it through one complete repeat, plus a few rows, of the back of the cable sweater. Compared with many scarves, and a couple of socks, there are a LOT of stitches in a sweater. I had forgotten how long it takes. I did figure out how to cable without a cable needle, which is quite convenient, especially since the cable are just two stitches wide.

There is a comment in Fiona Ellis' new book, Inspired Cable Knits, about having a project that is like an old friend. You work on it a bit at a time, every day, so that working on it is like spending time with an old and dear friend. She wrote it much more eloquently, but I don't feel like going upstairs to find the book. So that's how I'm going to handle this - an inch or two at a time, every day.
