Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Tweed - Lost Lake Heather

What was your inspiration?

I have wanted to learn to read cable charts and knit a really awesome sweater using cables. I took Carol Feller's Short Rows class, and really learned a lot and enjoyed her teaching. So when I saw the Celtic Cables class, and it was on sale, I could not resist signing up for it.

What are you most proud of?

I really love the way the sweater turned out. I learned a lot that I will continue to use in other projects. AND, at a local vintage resale store I found some beautiful buttons that were perfect for my sweater; they were the icing on the cake!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Carol is a wonderful teacher, so learn all that you can from her. Ask questions, posting comment, and interact with others in the class. Get a friend and do the class together.
