Cable-Down Raglan

When I first joined Ravelry back in April (I think), one of the first patterns that caught my eye was Stefanie Japel's Cable-Down Raglan. I put it in my queue and waited until I found the right yarn for the job. During the summer, I ordered some Debbie Bliss cashmerino dk and this was it! I completed blocking my sweater today and I love it! I am so happy :)

I have also been writing another pattern, for little boys in sizes 2-10. I am done with the preliminary pattern and first test sweater, but I need to change to cable chart and use my own. I used one from a magazine I have so that I could focus more on the sizing, increases and decreases and all that other good stuff. It should be ready for sale in a couple of months as I need to test knit a few other sizes...
In more pattern designing news, I have a couple of free saoker patterns that I am in the process of writing as well as a bell bottomed longie pattern for girls :) All these smaller patterns will be available on Ravelry and possibly through here once I figure out how to do that :)
