Not sure I like all the purl stitches surrounding it but the sweater is so densely cabled it probably needs this relief. I'm up to 28 rows knitting FLAK style down the back. Really like the cable on the saddles and the back picked up well from there. Almost have the cables memorized so this might turn into a car knit after all. I still haven't decided to make this a pullover or a cardigan but leaning to a cardigan but not a V-neck. Plan as you go?

It is lovely! I love love RED! I have had the same thoughts on the hourglass cable. If need be that would be another place to cut down on stitches (a couple of purls on both sides of the cable on that repeat that is). Too late for you and me but it is a possibility. I am 36 rows away from finishing the front. Meaning I will cast on the sleeves either tomorrow or Sunday.
I'm sure that once you have a few more of those little 'hour-glass' cables, the purls around them will really make them 'pop'. Your Fulmar looks beautiful!
Anne,
That is georgous! Fulmar is on the list, and just may make it onto the needles in January. i am such a lemming

That is a great cable pattern. It would be interesting in a cardigan. I love the cable on the saddles also. They are really well defined.
I really prefer that cable for the saddle. Pattern is written for the B pattern to be the saddle. Haven't decided what to do with my sleeve yet.
Heavens above, but Fulmar is stunning! How have I missed it? Which AS book is it in? Do I dare to risk the Curse of Starmore yet again? Can I resist it? Can I do it? How many more questions? NOW see what you've started!
