Notes: I didn't realize that this is actually my first raglan sweater. Even though the pattern called for, I ignored the one slip stitch that supposed to be carried on the decrease edges to create the neat raglan seam. Next time. I've done a few Viking or other Aran type sweaters before. I love cables. We all have something in life that seem to come naturally. My friend Sarah can knit two-handed fair isle in her sleep, and Jocelyn can shop for yarn with her hands tied behind her back (well, you get my point), cable is my thing. I knit from charts, but usually dump the charts by the third repeat and figure out where the cables go from the previous sets. They make perfect sense to me.

What a great job you do with cables. I've not tried them. Got involved in lace and kind of like it.
Beautiful job on your sweater. I love the cables.
Simply lovely!
Wow, Vivian, that is stunning! I like knitting cables, too, but I can't really do without the pattern. Nice work.
Now that I think of it, though, its your ability to do cables without cable needles that really impresses me. I've tried and it was just a disaster.
Beautiful! I have that in my Rav queue!
Amazing work. I'm awed.
