Cables on my needles

 

What do you do when the weather has decided to change into a kind of Summer when it actually should be Fall? Of course be outside as much as possible! So that is what I have been doing the last week. But then in the evenings, I really like to sit on the couch with a new knitting-project. I decided on this cardigan from Drops. I love the shape of it, and since it has been quite some time since I made something with cables, it kind of called my name! The pattern can  be found here.

Instead of the brown used in the example, I decided on a dark-grey colour.

The yarn, Drops Alaska is quite heavy, but works beautifully.

On Ravelry I’ve seen discussions about the errors in Drops patterns. Over the years I’ve knitted quite a number of their patterns, and it is true that there is an error in most of them. But by carefully reading the whole pattern, I think it is possible to adjust the pattern where necessary, and in the end I’ve always been happy with the result.
