Mondo Cable Pulli

March 4, 2010 By Carole

I finished the Mondo Cable Pulli just in time to wear it at SPA. And, luckily for me, my favorite photographer in the whole world agreed to do a photo shoot of me and my sweater.  Cheryl, baby Eloise and I headed outside right after lunch on Saturday. The lighting was good and there was a cute little park bench right next to the hotel.

I was instructed to sit down. So I sat.

And I was instructed to laugh. So I laughed.

Okay, so about the sweater. I love it! The color is perfect with black jeans and that’s just what I wanted. It’s a little bigger than I had hoped but I think I can fix that by re-blocking it.  And it’s comfortable! The Beaverslide yarn is soft enough for me for next-to-skin wearing but I do have a pretty good tolerance for scratchy and someone else might want a shirt underneath.

Mondo Cable

I did make some modifications, which is fairly unusual for me. I repeated the cable twist every 12 rows instead of every 18 rows as the pattern stated.

Mondo Cable Bottom Edge

And I changed the bottom and sleeve edgings to 2×2 ribbing. I tried it first as written but ripped it out and I’m much happier with it this way.

This sweater is an unqualified success. I can see myself wearing it over and over again. A knitter can’t ask for more than that.

    Cheryl’s pix came out way better than mine… as if that were a surprise. (But I got some nice ones of Cheryl, as you may have seen by now.) Wonderful sweater, and highly cooperative model.

    LOVE it! Beverslide is amazing yarn. 🙂

    It looks like early spring or late fall in that picture….good thing you took them on Saturday instead of Sunday…LOL!

    It turned out great! Looks very versatile… though I think I like your hair as much as your new sweater:)

    Love it!! I especially like the ribbing on the edge. I did the Mondo Cable Cardi and I went with the standard ribbing and I wasn’t happy with how it turned out because it curled.

    The pics are awesome too!

    I like your hair longer, too!

    You look so very pretty – and a lovely new sweater 🙂
    The color and style are great on you. I think that I shall have to try Beaverslide sometime soon!

    I completely and totally adore that sweater. I just saw a great sale on yarn that I think would be terrific for that sweater and I think I have to make it. Great Job!!!!

    I love love love it! It looks like it was made for you (ohahahaha)!

    I bough the vest with the cable pattern a few days ago – after Easter I want to knit something that isn’t a toy. Your sweater has totally motivated me. I want one of those too.

    You look beautiful when you smile. If I remember correctly, you have a daughter who is in college. No way do you look old enough!

    P.S.The sweater looks nice, too. 🙂

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
