Here is another view of the cable. I am thinking more and more of making this a cardigan. I am really happy with this wool from Lions Brand. I (as a general rule) do not use Lion Brand yarn. Most of it is acrylic. This 100% virgin wool (Fisherman Wool) is very nice to work with. There are 465 yds. in a skein for $7.99. That is a great! buy! :) And it's soft....
