Love it ALREADY no matter WHAT cable(s) you go with!

Hi Sandi,

I agree with Mary F. Time is growing short, so perhaps the best thing would be to make the hoodie as is. It seems to me that you're afraid to start. Almost like a writer who wants to write the perfect novel but spends so much time planning that the novel never gets written. Just jump in. I'm sure your sister will love it.

Did you ever make Bettie's Lace Stockings that you mentioned at the very end of your Oct 1st post? I was really hoping to see your comments on that. I bought that issue specifically for that pattern back when I was still on garter stitch beginner scarves. I've been learning complicated lace scarves and shawls lately and plan to start basic socks next. I'm hoping that between lace patterns and sock patterns, I might be able to manage those lace stockings. Hence my wish to see your comments and soak up your knitting wisdom before I start!

I'm in the midst of knitting the central park hoodie using the viking cable pattern as listed by Lisa Kay on Ravelry. The cable has a celtic look to it, and is varied enough to hold my attention. I am loving woking this pattern!

Maybe the lesson is: the designer put a lot of thought into it, your sister likes it that way, just do it.

I knitted the Central Park Hoodie as is and love it, but I admire your bravery in changing the cable! I love the cable in the Cardigan for Arwen, although i don't think it would work on this particular garment.
