Coronet

it is my first cable project and i was told this is a great cable starter because you wont get overwhelmed like in a cable sweater. it is a little challenging till you get the rythem down.and in doing this project you also learn how to pick up stitches so i am learning 2 new things in 1 project- cabling and picking up stitches.



i did finish the scarf i made for mom


until later
