Knitting
I've decided to re-learn how to knit this Christmas. While procrastinating, I came across this nifty cabled hat pattern, and I really want to make it. My ultimate goal is to learn how to make "real" cables in crochet. I think I'll get some alpaca yarn for this hat to match my new mittens. Then, of course, I'll have to make a matching scarf... ;)

That's a really pretty hat! :)

If I figure it out, would you like one too? Would you have a use for a hat down there in Texas?
Six-stitch cables *the prettier of the two, in my opinion* http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa062798.htm
Four-stitch cables http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa042603.htm
Thanks for the links! I've looked at post-stitch cables before, and they don't seem as nice as the knitted ones. I'll give these a try, and see how they turn out.
(And for a real comparison, I'll translate this hat into crochet, to see which turns out better. ;) )
