Just one more row

Here is the type of pattern I find difficult to put down. This is the first project using a chart, (besides fair isle) and now prefer them to patterns that are written out. Took a few rows to get used to it, and there is an error or two, but the recipient won't mind. The yarn is Vanna's Choice Baby in Little Boy Blue. The color is off on our monitor, hope to get a more accurate photo when it's done. It's lighter, and more turquoise. Probably when the snow is gone, in a few more weeks. Was a little disappointed with the twists at first, thought they were cables, but ended up learning a new technique. You can find the pattern here if you'd like to make your own.

I LOVE cables, and I don't mind the charts one bit. They are so worth it.
Beautiful!
