I know that there are a few of you.
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I'm attempting some new things. I'm actually using patterns now, where before I just knitted whatever came about.
I'm beginning to realize that I only have small needles and I'm becoming a yarn snob.
I knitted a hat for my nephew, one for myself (no patterns), a baby-carrier (no pattern), and now I'm going to start working on some fingerless gloves.
Anyone else? Any deals on good yarn, needles, etc.?

Oh crap! I ruined my 3333 post count!
To make the cables pop out from the background, you have to Knit the cables and Purl the background. Does that make sense?

If I recall correctly, it had to be a certain number of stitches ( like 22 i think my scarf was) and all I did was endlessly knit knit purl purl. When you got to the end, that reversed it, so each time, you were putting innie stitches on top of each other, and outie stitches on top of each other.
example
knit knit purl purl
next line would be reversed
purl purl knit knit
which means all the stitches lined up in pretty cables all in a row!
Your cables are gorgeous, Jaded_echo. I love cables. They're really not too hard. I really need to photograph some of my projects. Right now, finishing up a shell for myself, done in a hot-pink ribbon yarn, and working on a maroon V-neck cardigan for hubby's birthday gift. The cardigan is worked from the neck down so there will be no seams!
Earlier this year I finished an afghan that will be a gift to my son. Used leftover yarn to make "puff squares" (like grannies). I just kept throwing them in a basket, and finally had 300+ after about 3 years. Took me a couple weeks to assemble them because they're crocheted together, and then there were 4 million ends to work in....
Someday I'll get back to the double-knitted afghan I started about 5 years ago. It's gorgeous but very slow going. 400 stitches on the needle, and you knit a rather intricate pattern off a chart. (Reindeer and snowflakes.) It's reversible, so you're knitting the front and back at the same time, and yeah, it's just as complicated and confusing as it sounds, which is why it's taking me forever!
Girls, take pictures of your work and post them up. I want to see your beautiful knittings.
