Yes, I said, of course I can make it for you!!!!! And make it I did. Here it is:
Please excuse the sun dappled pic but it's late afternoon and my bedroom has the best natural light albeit a bit glary!!! Here's a pic with the curtains closed which shows up the cables a little better.
It's taken me just over two months to knit and whilst I love doing cable work, I have to say that this one was heavy going. My fingers took some strain as there were just SO MANY cables in the pattern! The sleeves were slightly easier but still mind-blowingly weighty! It felt like I was wading through deep mud whilst climbing a very steep hill! Still, I struggled on and finally finished it earlier this week.
Here's some close ups of the cables
And one last sun blasted look before I hand it over this evening....
I do like it, I really do. I just hope she does too.
Til soon.
