I must have caught the 'cabling' bug, because all my projects after this had some sort of cable work.
Before buttons and blocking.

Susan, you did a fabulous job with the knitting! The sweater turned out beautifully (I had the same thought about the ribbing on the model, too).
Nice job! :-) Congrats! Speaking of lots and lot of cables, if you look across the page of the catalog, you'll see how I spent 5 weeks of my summer! :-)
Yay! How awesome! It looks amazing!
Susan that is GORGEOUS.
I would be bothered by that ribbing, too. It's the least they can do to show off your hard work.
what a gorgeous sweater!! you did an awesome job.

Cableiscious!
Very nice--I've got to attempt some cables on some project. Never done them yet, but I do like them.
That's so cool. It's a nice sweater and how neat to be a sample knitter.

Holy mudda! That is some serious insane cabling. You still have all you marbles after knitting that? It's wonderful.
That's AMAZING! I'm sure it was very rewarding to work on - since it worked out so well.
Hunka Hunka Happy Halloween! Perhaps you went as the King? Or maybe Priscilla?
WOW what a fabulous sweater and how cool to be a test knitter. I agree though, straighten the ribing puhleeeeease!

i nominated you for the kreativ blogger award!
I love your blog, your knitting is beautiful and so neat. I too, am from a long line of knitters. My mum taught me to knit when I was 7 and my two older girls can knit now. I just sent mum and my eldest your link.
Thank you.

Truly gorgeous. I bow to your knittery.
Wow! Thumbs up. I am sure this project needed a LOT of patience.
