The celtic cable pattern did show me that cables are a lot easier than they look! OK, I did have to rip out the first few rows several times before I got the hang of reading from a pattern but once I got in the groove it went really quickly and I am feeling inspired to try more cool-looking patterns.
I am actually working on a gift now, a 'chain link' pattern hat, but I can't say for who because then it would ruin the surprise! I chose a merino/mohair blend in a pretty teal color and I am thinking of doing a swirl hat with the leftovers and the leftover seafoam alpaca from the neckwarmer once I'm done. I did realize after I started though that this might not be the ideal yarn - it is a single ply which I now see doesn't show off the pattern as well as a multiple-ply yarn might. Oh well: Live and learn!
