Notes
Cast on with alternating cable cast on (Bestor, p. 49-51) With some help from Leo - visiting from the next street!
A quick knit. I'm not sure about the colours I chose, but it will be easy enough to make more to try out other combinations.
Feb 2015 - I've worn this quite a lot. A great half-way to keep my ears warm when a hat would be too much. Over the years it has softened and felted so that it is even more comfortable.
