Here’s Shedir. She turned out a little bit too long. Actually, quite a bit too long. But it’s still wearable if you turn up the brim. Using this yarn, I had to not do some of the repeats.
So what do I think of cables now? one word. frustrating. Not at all relaxing knitting for me. It was fun to see how the cables came together, though. However, I was really happy to be done with this hat. I am dissappointed that it turned out too big, but I will not reknit it. no way. I will have to give to to my friend and hope that it fits. This is why I hate knitting for other people. There is just way too much pressure to make things perfect, and it ends up being stressful.
Now I can get back to work on my second LaBoheme scarf, this time in the colorway, Alaska. Here is a pic of the yarn, in hank form:
Now these are my colors. 
Happy Monday everyone!
