I've finished the front and back of St. Brigid, and I've started a sleeve.
Cabling knotwork isn't hard, but sometimes I find it tedious. Fortunately, there are plenty of exciting moments, like when I realized I'd cabled the wrong way about, oh, six rows ago:
You can fix cables by dropping stitches down and crocheting them back up - you just have to remember to swap them when appropriate on the way back.
So, here is one more photo of the prettiest sweater in the world:
(Same sweater, worse lighting. The yarn is Galway in a heathered forest green.) It's St. Brigid from Alice Starmore's Aran Knitting. That's a wonderful book that manages to be out of print while the author is still alive and the book sells for $300 used. What the heck?
