I thought I was joking when I called this one my five year project. Thing is, come June, it really will have been five years since I cast on for this throw in this creamy alpaca yarn. Talk about power in words.
When the latest knitting project came off the needles a couple weeks back, ideas for what might be next kept hopping into view. They tend to do that, those ideas. Let's make all the things, and let's begin with this, in this yarn, they said with breathless, wild abandon, not for a moment paying any attention to the five year project that was sitting, untouched and unfinished in the knitting basket.
Well.
After some harnessing of my wanty ideas, I was soon quite taken with the notion of sitting beneath this softest throw during stolen moments in this blustery February, falling into the meditative rhythm of the cable pattern once again (never be afraid of knitting cables, friends), passing yarn from chunky needle to chunky needle as the winds toss and the rains fall. Of course this is the next in queue.
Do what you can with what you have.
Free pattern here. Yarn here.
P.S. Don't worry one bit about the mistake I made in the edge band there. I'm not worried in the slightest - it's the story of wandering thoughts, lost delightfully in the motion of the stitches, which sometimes causes you to purl instead of knit.
Wishing you the loveliest of weekends, friends!
