I made my first cabled project!
Pattern: Basic Cable from Stitch and Bitch Nation
Yarn: Vanna's Choice, eggplant
Needles: size 8 16" circulars
I was really excited to try a new technique, and cables turned out to be easier than I thought (after I asked my friend/knitting mentor Pepper for some help).
Vanna's Choice (VC) is a good substitution for the required yarn, Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted. Since I have to get my yarn from Michael's and Hobby Lobby, I couldn't get the required yarn in a timely manner, so I used VC and was happy with the results. Plus, VC is machine washable, which is an added bonus.
The hat is actually a darker shade of purple, but my shitty camera phone couldn't capture the color well. But, I'll probably be getting a new camera for my b-day, so good pictures will come later.
