This pic is cross-posted from my blog. It illustrates the value of SWATCHING!!! Folks, when they say a size TWO needle for the Cables & Os pattern, they don't mean a size SIX needle, LOL. (oops....) I'm a big girl but not a size 6X! After a night of sitting at my local knitting meetup (for the first time, BTW), I now have another inch added to the above cast-on twisted ribbing - and the interesting half of my first button hole (although they don't tell you to do one in the instructions - but where is it written I have to be a good girl all the time?? Since pictures are better in daylight with my phone camera thingie, I'm waiting until morning to post more.Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Hi! There are no buttonholes in the pattern because you're supposed to use the eyelets for buttonholes. (It says that at the very end of the pattern.) Not that you can't do your own thing, of course! :) Just thought I'd mention it in case you were wondering.
I guess it pays to read the directions, LOL! ROTFLMAO!!!!
What hoot!
