Able Cable pattern by Chrissie Day
Yarn: Sweet Fibers Cashmerino Worsted, Marshland colorway
The weather just didn't cooperate for me to stay put long enough this winter to finish my husband's sweater quickly, but with Spring starting the end of this week I thought I just better do it!
So I did!
There are still poppers to put on, but I want to find some larger ones than I have in my sewing drawer. Poppers was a new one for me, but since it is a British pattern I figured my relative who lives in Wales could help out with the meaning. She did. They're snaps! Apparently they normally refer to them on baby wear, but this designer wanted the smooth look of poppers and not buttons.
There's very little chance that my husband will wear it before next Fall, but he did try it on for me. It looks great on him! The sleeves are long, but that's the way they look on the pattern photo. A cool look? He can roll them up though and have the extra sleeve for when it's really cold out.
