shaking off the dust from the rut

what better way than a knit along? it's cable 8 for me. i was inspired by the lovely fo of lesley to knit mine up in the rowan cork i have. like her's, it is from the kit sent along with an annual subcription to rowan magazine; i'll just have to rip the little bits of cindy i had completed so far to reclaim it all. i wonder if the merino will be too warm, but then i think it would make a pretty vest with a slim shirt underneath as well.
