Teri had never cabled before, but because of the nature of this particular pattern stitch, I was able to break the cabling row down into micro units, and she was so proud to be able to do it! Because I am dyslexic, I tend to lay out directions in the simplest terms possible, and in this case, it worked out great :-} I felt so happy when she wrote in her comment:
"TAHHHH DAHHHH!!! Houston - We have LIFTOFF!!! THANK YOU Diana!!!
I FINALLY “GET” & can DO - CABLE knitting!!! You are a GENIOUS!!! Your crystalline CLEAR “Destructions” - PAINTED an equally CLEAR pattern - step by baby step!!!
Who knows - my new Knitting Maven you - I MAY be ABLE to finally teach my pathetically DYSLEXIC SELF - how the @#%)^&!&%!!! - to knit well enough to finally make those lacy dreamy Faroese featherlite knitted lace shawls I’ve only DREAMED of - someday!!!
You’re RAWKKKKKKKKKK Girl!!!
THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANKKKK YOU!!!!! I GODDITTTTT!
Teri"

That's sEVEN Elijah hats so far & four more waiting ... I hadda take a little time out to spin some yarnage for two of them & work on a knitted gift shawl for Christmas too. Still say - THANK YOU!!! Honey says after FIVE of them - Well Babe - I can NEVER have ENOUGH HATS! Loves n Stuff You Dominknittrix You! Teri
The design really looks so much more intricate and difficult than it is to knit up. I couldn't get over how quick it was to make the second one! Very pretty, fun pattern! I'm planning to make the next one in cotton as a chemo cap. It's nice to keep ready a portable project that fits in a ziplock bag so I'd better cast-on!
Awesome... Kewlio!
Wow!! I think I may have to get that pattern. What a fabulous hat, and of course, your model is fabulous too!
Your patterns are always fabulous!!!
So cool! I'm sitting here celebrating with you!
