I am beginning this sweater for my husband-to-be (he loves the cables!) and I wonder if someone could help me out with a question I have on the pattern.

The chart notes how to work A to B (4) times and then work to (D) on RS rows, but it doesn’t explain how to work the WS rows.

Do I work from D to C (4) times and then work to A?

If someone could help me answer this, I’d appreciate it so much!

Thanks!!!

I’ve just found this sweater while searching for something to make my DH, who wants a fisherman’s sweater. I fell in love with it and am hoping he will pick this pattern, if not, I’ll have to make it for MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for another awesome pattern!

It’s so beautiful, and he + you sound really great, too!!

… Might a pattern for this beauty (the sweater) appear somewhere, sometime? It’s so great, I’d love to try my hands at all the cables in that one — it’s gorgeous!

Tuning in late on the “B’friend” topic, but I wouldn’t even knit a sweater for my HUSBAND of 9 years. We were old (60′s) when we met (on the internet). I started a sweater finally with yarn he picked out and at his repeated insistence and sure enough…he passed away in his sleep 4 years ago…so, I’m a real believer. If he hadn’t already been dead, I would have killed him :^). It has been long enough that I smile about it now. He was a dear!
Look at it this way…if he leaves with the sweater…you’ve STILL got the kitchen remodel done!!! I’d gladly knit a sweater, socks and a scarf to boot just to have my living/dining painted!!!

Funny thing about curses; we believe them, they come true.
Last Christmas I knitted a Berroco pattern in Ultra Alpaca for a man who had been in my life, drifted away and then returned.
I had never heard of the sweater curse. He loved the sweater and since then, the relationship has just gotten better.
Nora, keep knitting that sweater!

I understood the feeling of having met all knitting deadlines and being ready to jump into something new. I think Christmas night was my favorite night to knit. All my gifts were done and I could start something brand new. I couldn’t wait for the day to be over.

About that boyfriend thing. You can be sure that the rest of us (his family) would hunt him down and stick knitting needles into him if he was stupid enough to think about leaving you. But, I think he’s smarter than that.

I married the guy I knit a sweater for. It was the first sweater I ever knit. An aran style thing with cables in front and on the sleeves. I was really proud of the fact that the sleeves were the same length, and he didn’t even mind that there are more cables on one sleeve than on the other. LOL. 28 years married and still knitting for him, the girls, friends, and family…

I was surprised, yet pleased, to read that even designers like yourself actually have to cut and re-knit sections of a project.
It actually encourages to stop being so demanding on myself all the time.
I really enjoy your blog and plan to visit often.
Can’t wait to see the sweater modeled by that very special boyfriend!

I guess I should add, if you can’t handle the MEANING stay out of the kitchen…
