Cable Comfort Throw

Pattern: Cable Comfort Throw by Lion Brand
Yarn: Lion Brand Thick n Quick in Pumpkin
Needles: U.S. 13
Start Date: September 2007
Finish Date: December 18th 2008
This is was my longest standing FO and its D O N E!!!!
I hadn’t used Thick n Quick before this project and was pleasantly surprised at how soft and warm it is. During the seaming of the last panel I had to actually take my sweater off I was so warm with it laying on top of me. That being said it will be nice and heavy on a chilly -20 day like today.

If I were to knit this again…… which I definitely WILL NOT! I would knit it all in one piece to avoid all the seaming. Once I decided on which seam looked best it wasn’t that hard to do but I still would have preferred to not have had to seam it at all.
For some reason tonight Wordpress is all in html… I can’t seem to figure anything out so you’ll have to excuse this post if it looks like i’m yelling at you.
I have an almost finished Penny to show you and will be starting sock number 2 of the new years socks tonight. I’m making pretty good time so far and think I can have all 3 done before the 31st.

Well done! DH would love it – he loves orange
I finished one of my longest standing UFOs too! Only three more to go, plus an experiment, oh and the curtain experiment… argh, they are piling up again!

Snuggly!!! And what perfect timing to have this finished for the Christmas hols!

I love it but I can see why you wouldn’t want to make it again. Pumkin is such a great color, and it would look really good in my house!

It’s beautiful! Love the color. I plan to make a blanket with this yarn, so it’s good to know that it’s warm.

This is just beautiful! The cables are stunning.

is there a way to knit this without having to sew it together?? it’s the sewing that has kept me from attempting a blanket…
