Friends, a true miracle has occurred: I have actually taught myself to knit by
reading a book. It is very difficult to learn a complex 3-dimensional procedure by interpreting words & photographs from a 2-dimensional page, but it has somehow happened. True, I'm still using acrylic practice yarn, my cables get a little jacked up, and every now and then I accidentally add or lose a stitch, but I am now my very own one-woman sweatshop. Would anyone like to place an order for a hat, scarf, or (if I'm feeling ambitious) mittens? Specify size, color and yarn type.
Anyone...? Otherwise, it's going to be a very loooong winter (and as Jerry Lewis says, idle feet are the devil's toenails!)

OMG Molly! Your first knitting project and you are CABLING? I guess I should expect nothing less, but you are ambitious!! I made about 5 plain knit-knit-knit before I attempted cabling. And that was still before Chris McKay sat me down to have a talk about cabling. I'm just about to attempt it now!
