Took way longer than it should have but happy it's finished, how it turned out, and in time for autumn! One skein, relatively easy intro to cables I guess, hard part was just remembering numbers.

Do you mind if I ask what tends to go wrong with them? Occasionally someone will ask me to help them learn cabling so knowing what the pitfalls are is always handy when teaching.
Great question! For me it's really the needle manipulation. I feel super clumsy and never sure if I made my stitches correctly. I can read charts no problem at all, but I can never get into a comfortable rhythm so I get frustrated and lose motivation to see it through.
