Received my latest issue of Real Simple and this picture is in there (with an article about keepin' warm or somethin' like that...)!

You know I love my cables!

Cute, huh?!

:)

Check out this cute slideshow from CasaSugar on Cabled Knits home decor!

I particularly like this chunky cable lampshade.

Which do you like?

Sarah Jessica Parker - Grey Cable Capelet

Alright...

What is it about Sarah Jessica Parker...

Sarah Jessica Parker arriving at Melbourne Int'l Airport
on October 31, 2011 in Melbourne, Australia.

You know I'm not a Capelet person AT ALL!

And yet, I see her in this get-up,

and I'm lovin' it!

Geez!

:)

Here are some similar capelet patterns, should you so choose to make one.

This has nothing to do with anything but I just thought it was cute.

Cable-Knit Scarf from A Killer Stitch novel (by Maggie Sefton)

Our book club met last night to discuss our latest read -

A Killer Stitch by Maggie Sefton.

 The book was cute.  A light mystery.  An easy read.

I was most excited to see it came with a free pattern!

Free + Pattern = Alright with me!

This is a super easy cable pattern.

And it works fast!

You just keep working the pattern until the scarf is as long as you'd like it to be!

I do have a cable needle around somewhere but since I have no idea where, I just use a pencil... :)

I only made a sample of what the pattern would be, since I am the knitter in the group and I thought they'd like to see what the pattern would look like!

I thought about continuing it 'cause this would be a cute Christmas gift for someone (anyone) and I'm on a strict budget (ahem, 'restriction') this year for spending...
