FLAK Cable Swatch

Here’s my cable swatch with the Light Grey Heather Peruvian Wool I bought originally from Elann:



I kept Janet’s cables but I mirrored the wave cables and tried the staghorn cable both ways. I used a different filler stitch since moss stitch biased badly for me, even after washing and blocking (see earlier post.)

I decided I really wasn’t a grey sweater person, so I ordered Alpine Violet and Summer Fuchsia:



I love Elann! I ordered the yarn Monday and it arrived today (Friday.) I’m going to swatch both colors and see which I like better.

Fleecy, I love elann, too. : )

The colors you have chosen look scrumptious. I hope you're having fun...especially since you now have colors that you really enjoy.

I'll be following your blog regularly!

Your swatch looks great! I ordered the same yarn/different colors and love it! First time knitting with this yarn, and it is a pleasure to use. (I'm a beginning blogger also - maybe we can learn together!)
