Cool cables

Time has flown by really quickly.. I can't believe it's been 1 year since I properly picked up a crochet hook and knitting needles. It's been a year since I've discovered my local yarn store in my city. Throughout the year I have made a few things and have ventured out to some of stitches that I thought was impossible for me to grasp. However, I have taken on the challenge of cabling whilst knitting and I have made the cushion cover below.

There have been mistakes made simply by not paying attention to which row I was knitting. This has been created with rowan all season cotton. The pattern was found in a magazine from the collection that I have at home.

The wool itself was very smooth to work with and it gives a great stitch definition especially in the cabled parts if the cover .
