A Cable Swatch

On May 5th, I posted a picture of some of my swatching for my take-along project. My final image was of the beginning of the cabling swatch: 

I warned you that it didn't look like anything yet. And it didn't. I have now completed just over a pattern repeat, so now you can see what it's supposed to look like.

I kinda like it, kinda don't. Not sure what I'm going to do. The idea is to take four different cable patterns and do them in different colors. We'll see. I have to test it out and see how it all looks together first. 

It's something to work on. Until something better comes along.

    I really like it and I like that color. It reminds me of fall. You could do the other 3 in fall colors. What is a take-along project? Did I miss that post?

      I don't know if I ever defined it. A take-along project is one I can take with me to work on while I'm out. On Saturdays I hang out with my dad, and I like to have something to work on while I'm there.

      I think I bought that yarn for mittens. I could be misremembering.

    It was hard for me to visualize this project completed in four colors, for some reason. I'm sure you'll make it work for you.

      I haven't really explained it. I have an idea in my head, but whether it will end up like that or not isn't certain. And it'll take way too long to explain. It'll make sense as I go along.

    That's nice with the different cable stitches, different from the usual. I like the extra twisty ones.

      I liked the picture in my stitch dictionary which is why I decided to try it out.

    I like the pattern and the yarn color. I never realized how many knitting stitches there are.
