Adventures in Cabling: The Sad Saga of My Bella Mittens

Valley Yarns Pattern 484
Braid Cardigan
via Webs
 
Loving this Cardigan! I have managed to perfect my cabling skills last fall while knitting up some "Bella Mittens" for someone obsessed with Twilight. I did get the cabling down but ran into some trouble when I reached the thumb gusset... I ended up making wrist warmers instead, only to find that they were a bit on the baggy side.... so I frogged them! *sigh*
 
 
I ended up using the same yarn and knitting a scarf instead... it was a very sad day for me, but I dredged through it and came out with a nice enough ribbed scarf.
 
 
Ever since then, I have been dieing to try my hand at my first cabled project. I know I won't be trying mittens again anytime soon but the thought of something cabled for fall is very attractive!

and translated in English so
the written pattern has an error but
the actual chart is correct.

The Bella Mitts may have sworn me off mittens entirely but I'm ready to make cables my B*tch!
