…in the dark of the café, she casts on for a new project…
A new project that is so utterly perfect for autumn.
A new project that will challenge with the twists and turns of traditional Aran cables.
Pattern: Aran Accent Vest, Patons Cables booklet
Yarn: Tess Designer Yarns Worsted Merino
I’m a bit too excited that you’re making this pattern. When I first saw it, I literally gasped. I love cables, but I don’t love the bulk they give the finished product. It seems like this vest is a great balance. Do you know where I can get the book? I liked a couple of the other patterns out of it too!
It’s beautiful!!!
Are you going to make it long like the picture?
Meg: It appears that several vendors have the Cables book available online, including Elann, and some smaller vendors like this one. The book has several amazing patterns, and it is well-worth the price. A friend also told me that she found a copy at Michaels craft store…
Arianne: It looks especially long on the model, doesn’t it? I will follow the schematic and try it on as I go to determine the length…
I love it! I’ve been wanting to do a cable sweater for so long but I haven’t worked up the guts…
That looks like a great pattern.
I never think to look at Patons booklets, but they have real gems in them! E.g., the Urban pullover or cardigan. Thanks for introducing me to another one!
Oh how lovely! With the cooler temps here this week it is definitely time to start thinking about cooler knits. I love the color that you have selected – it looks like pattern + yarn = beautiful sweater!
You always find the most amazing projects. I can’t wait to see this one as you work through it.
Love it! Can’t wait to see your progress with this!
Cables!! It’s cable-icious! (and you know that I LOVE cables.) It’s going to look so fantastic — I love the color you chose. It seems like nearly the perfect fall knitting.
you are so bad!!!!
Ahh, cables. I just can’t get enough. Where did you score that booklet? It’s on my “WANT” list!
That pattern is awesome! and such a perfect layering piece for autumn. good choice – can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Ooooh, lovely. Those cables are gorgeous. Must…. resist……

I love it so!
And she is a very smart grrl to get started early.
That’s adorable Lolly! Hmmmm… I may look into that pattern myself. I plan to make some kind of vest this fall…
That is such a lovely Aran Vest! Can’t wait to see it!

Oh WOW that is going to be simply amazing!!
What a beautiful project!

Very pretty – love the color you chose!
That brown is luscious! The cables are really going to pop in it.
Oooh, looks lovely, you’ve introduced me to another beautiful pattern.
Don’t forget about those other cables you have on the needles….
What a beautiful vest! The cables are so lovely.
Ooooh, that is going to be one killer vest!! And now I am off to hunt down a copy of the pattern book… want that Cabled Yoke Pullover!
What a perfect way to start the fall! That vest is going to be gorgeous, especially in the wonderfully warm color you’ve chosen.
You have the _most_ amazing eye for patterns. I think I want to just sit with you and flip through your list of projects you’ve got an eye on!
That will look so beautiful in the Tess yarn. I always think of you and jenna when I see that brand. Happy knitting!
Ohhhh…I LOVE it! So perfectly fall.
I was looking at that vest the other day…maybe a shorter version, as I am a shorter lass and all….I can not wait to see yours!
That vest looks so LONG on that model. Like, freakishly long. But the cables are great, so you want plenty of room! I need to start knitting again
The cables are going to look so gorgeous in that yarn!
What a gorgeous pattern, and I love the brown color too. Perhaps it wont take too long to do.
oooh I love the pattern. Beautiful cables.
LOVE the new hairstyle!
That will be totally cute!
I am soo intimidated by cables. However, this one is almost too pretty to not tackle! As I look at this picture I am going through my stash in my head, and I think i need to copy you…
Add vest to Ravelry queue… CHECK! Thank you for the inspiration!
[...] soon! And, for some reason, I’m freaked on cables – and I’m not sure why. I saw Lolly’s current cable project and will now have to go on a hunt for the book she’s using – Paton’s [...]
