Thinking it would be cool to have a bell-flare sleeve like this on a sweater/cardigan--ribs down most of the arm and the cabling at the flared end.

Notes

I seem to be acting out. With a class to complete that will lead to a job and a 30-day writing challenge for Camp NaNoWriMo, I got ready to put aside knitting. Instead, here I am starting yet another WIP. (Shh. Don’t tell.)

I’m using a much thicker yarn than the pattern calls for, but I think this heathered silk/alpaca/merino will look amazing with these cables.

I’m getting about six inches of length per skein of yarn, so far. Had to buy a few more to make sure I’d reach six or seven feet.

I’m still working on this in little bursts of free time, but I’m making slow progress. Still a fun pattern, and I look forward to doing more.

Do you ever do the thing where you ever-so-virtuously put aside a hobby for a while (knitting) in order to complete another kind of project (a class), and then manage to do neither the new task or the old hobby? Yeah, me neither. Except I did do a bit of knitting today for the first time in a while. Maybe that will lead to the other project scooting ahead a bit too? (Ha)

I’m still here, still working on this project very slowly. It’s about as long as my arm right now. I haven’t knit for a month or two, so I messed up on a heavy cable row and had to rip it back out and try again--nervewracking, but it turned out okay.

About 16” x 29” now when moderately stretched. I’d forgotten how fast and fun this was. And the yarn is so gorgeous! All bunched up (pre-blocked), it has a gorgeous rushing water kind of flow to it, but it stretches out so much. Being part baby alpaca, I expect it to stretch even more after wet blocking.
