The eagle-eyed will have observed
\nevidence of a work in
\nprogress<\/a>, some time ago.  I am pleased to report that the
\nremake of a cable sweater I’d made (17 years ago?), from a Family
\nCircle pattern, is now complete!<\/p>\n
\"CablesRedux\"<\/a><\/p>\n
I used the Jo
\nSharp Silkroad Aran Tweed I’d bought a year ago<\/a>, in Perth.  I
\nreally enjoyed the yarn — it felt nice to work with, and produced
\nexcellent stitch definition and a lovely fabric.  It’s sort of
\nslubbed — a little uneven in thickness — so it’s going to produce a
\ntextured surface whether the pattern includes textured stitches or no.<\/p>\n

I know, I know — there are so many sweater patterns and possibilities
\nunder the sun, why would you remake one you’d already done?  I
\nmade  the original out of some generic acrylic stuff (I 
\nmight even still have a ball band somewhere…), and loved the sweater
\nto death.  It was fast & easy to make.  It fit
\nwell.  It looked reasonably well-crafted (which was particularly a
\nbonus, that early in my knitting efforts!).  And then one day it
\njust gave up — stretched out and didn’t stretch back.  The
\nsleeves dangled.  The collar fell off my shoulders.  You know
\nwhat I mean.<\/p>\n

The recollection of the easy\/fun knit and rewarding result lead me to
\ncast on for this as my mindless\/road trip project, and that was pretty
\nsuccessful.  Except that I finished it just at the very extreme
\nreaches of anything that can be called sweater weather in this part of
\nthe world \ud83d\ude09  Wear reports will have to wait.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been adventurous and clicked on the image above, you’ll have
\nalso discovered something else I’ve been slowly working on — the knitbot
\nFO Gallery<\/a>.  Obviously, I’m just beginning to populate it, but
\nI figured I’d test drive it on a few items and get it posted. 
\nI’ll probably be filling it in from both ends and the middle for a
\nwhile yet, from accumulated photographs.<\/p>\n
