I did it!
I knitted my first cables.

I have been terrified of them. They sound so scary.

But last night, I decided to just do it, so I swatched a little piece and just did a few different ones. And they are pretty and I like them.

I am so proud. Now, on to dpns!

There is nothing to fear but fear itself. I'm so glad you overcame yours in order to try something different. Good luck with the dpn's.

Good job! my first reaction was "wait, you want me to do WHAT with the stitches?" It was so amazing to see the knotted pattern form.

Congrats!!! I was scared to do any kind of sweater type clothing, but if you take things step by step they're not so scary.
