We are doing the cabling event for the Olympics!

The royal we, that is.

We decided to knit the cabled poncho, and since the instructions are in knitting gibberish a la 'easy knitting' style, spent several hours charting them last night on the laptop use Stitch and Motif Maker.

I now have two lovely charts for the two cables used in the pattern, and the yarn is ready. To be fair, I do need a pair of needles, it calls for 10.5 and I really want to knit with straights for a while then switch to circs. Not sure why, but it works. Who am I to argue?

So last night I tried casting on, ans knitting a bit but decided to rip it out. I need to have a thingee to hold the chart and my place in it.

Off to the Olympics!
