The beginnings of Dapple

Purple Cables

Thanks for all the knitting love yesterday - you guys are the best! And what do we have here? Could it possibly be more cables? Yessiree, it is!

So emboldened am I by my cabling success that I have thrown myself giddily at another cable project: Dapple by Kim Hargreaves. Can't. Stop. The. Cabling! And after using 3mm needles for so long, these 5mm needles are making this feel like one speedy knit. I only started it at the beginning of the week, and I'm already up to my raglan decreases. Wheeeeee!

I'm going to go crazy here, and give myself 3 weeks to get this dress done. Back done one week, front done the next, sleeves and seaming the week after. Can it be done? Ach, what's life without a few challenges now and then, eh?

Over to you folks!

3 weeks to knit a dress? Can old Jorthy do it?

  1. I don't think not having a TV matters, as I do most of my craft in front of it :)

  4. That's a lovely pattern, and I think it will fly off the needles.

  8. Hello!
    I met you over the Easter weekend at a certain woolshop in the leafy eastern suburbs ;), wearing your fabulous green dress!

    This new project looks just as amazing (love the colour!) and sounds like you're well on your way to smashing that deadline - good luck!

    Meanwhile, I've been umming and ahhing over which wool to get for my project since that day I haven't even started!...
