Re: Do you like cabled sweaters?

There are so many styles of ""cabled sweaters."" I don't particularly care for Aran style cable knits ... just not my look.

But - I've made cabled sweaters with finer gauge yarns that are quite nice.

I love the way they look on others.

My preference is for smooth knit. Most cable knits tend to add bulk and too much warmth. They do look pretty, just not on my body.

Re: Do you like cabled sweaters?

I like cabled sweaters, I just purchased some in the tunic length and they are nice. I am really liking those "Eyelash" sweaters, too, and purchased some of those also. Where I live it is so very cold, and have not met a sweater yet that is too warm!

Find a sweater made with alpaca yarn. I made one last winter ... amazingly warm.

i love them! (depending on the styling of course). Many companies are pushing them big time this season. American Eagle and Forever 21 have a ton of cute styles.

I wish I knew how to knit or crochet, have not seen any alpaca, but will keep my eye out for that. I bet your sweater is beautiful! I have many cashmere and angora sweaters also. Have to do a lot of layering it gets bitter cold up on Lake Ontario !
