Here Emmet is modeling my first attempt at cabling. Well, maybe technically it's my second attempt. Does it count when I knitted the same yarn in the same pattern and then ripped it all out because it was too big around and not long enough?
Anyway, it was sent off to Grandma Lise's so maybe she'll comment and let me know if this one fits better? And doesn't make her look like a cone head as does to Emmet?
I really love the yarn, but not so sure on the pattern. I did find an awesome yarn shop not too far away, but managed to go in, get the double pointed needles I came for and get out without purchasing any yarn. Hooray! I have to get the yarn supply down to manageable levels before buying any more. But I am trying another cabled hat pattern, with an open cable. It seems a little more difficult, but I'm hoping it won't be too bad once I get started.

I certainly will attest to the beauty of the cable work on this hat - I just wish my head were smaller than a melon so it fit a bit better. Your knitting is very fine, Bridget! You should be proud of your skill.
