First cable project

So my "don't start anything new until the jumper is done" resolution has fallen by the wayside again, although I finished this the same evening I started and didn't buy any new wool for it so I don't think it really counts. I wanted to do something with a cable pattern as I hadn't done one before and I have some cable needles so didn't require any new tools. I just made what was basically a big swatch and then folded it in half and added a zip to make a small purse for my friend Nat's birthday. The wool I used was Rowan Kid Classic but I double stranded some dark blue and some purple as I only had a little of each. The cable itself would probably look better in a single colour but I do quite like the tweedy effect. The verdict: I like cables! They are fun without being too complicated.
