Cables, I learned cables

I have learned to cable. I can't beleive it, I have really learned to cable. I am making an Irish Hiking scarf (http://www.helloyarn.com/irishhikingscarf.htm ) and it is beautiful!!




I'm using Cascade Pastaza to knit this scarf and its so soft. I'm thinking of knitting another one using a bulkier yarn thats 100% Cashmere.








I also just finished this one about a week ago. It's a bath mat. I had this Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick on hand but didn't have anything to do with it. So I decided to do a simple bath mat.





If anyone is interested heres what I did. I don't know how many I cast on but cast on for as long as you want it. Knit every row for the length you want. Once I had it as long as I wanted I then cast off and picked up a crochet hook and started sc all the way around. I did 2 rows of sc then fasten off. Thats it. Pretty easy. Washable, durable, absorbant and soft. Who could ask for more. I'm going to buy some non skid backing to either sew on or will buy the brush on kind to have a backing on it.

The Flex

Cody flexing for the camera. It's pretty weird that he would even consider flexing for the camera because most times when we try to take his picture he ducks and runs for cover. Don't know why, he just does.
