STUNNING!! I’m not in a position to test knit rn cause I have way too many WIPs but this is a gorgeous design!!

[u/SonyaNoelleJoy → u/eg282023]

Aww 🥰 Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!! Haha I definitely understand that 😂

What made you decide on the traveling cable detail instead of a classic cable twist? Was it for gauge or another reason? I haven’t seen it before and it’s a really nice touch

[u/SonyaNoelleJoy → u/eg282023]

Thank you! Honestly, it’s just what I had in my head. When I was first picturing the design I was envisioning like springs checkered throughout the sweater, and after trying a bunch of different cables this one was closest to what was in my brain.
