I've been obsessed with crochet cables lately! I've been able to test some fun patterns and been inspired to maybe try some of my own cable ideas eventually but I have no idea when! So many ideas and so very little time. Here are a few great cable projects I've done in the past few weeks.
My friend Rachel over at Silly Stitches wrote this really awesome pattern for a cabled cowl
called the Myrna Cowl.
The pattern even includes directions for a cozy, furry lining. This is super warm and fun to make! I made this with Lion Brand Tweed stripes and just looove the way the colors worked up.
If you love this as much as I did! Then your in luck because she is having a 20% off sale in her

You can see her other two amazing cable patterns I've made here
With all the fun inspiration of cables I'd had, I decided to try my hand at this
"It's a Hoot Beanie" again.
I'd made this one around Christmas 2012. It came out smaller than anticipated so it was perfect for Calleigh. I just added a fuzzy trim and big ol' pom pom for fun.
I've been loving Lion Brand Heartland so I thought I'd try to make a cabled Owl slouch, but I ran out of yarn! I'll have to grab another skien to add a brim to make it slouch more. I also would recommend doing the owl cable hat in light or brighter colors. I was excited for this charcoal color but you can't really tell the owls are there very well. They just don't pop. I like the way this one turned out but I still have some finishing details I'd like to add.
Have you tried crochet cables? What did you make?

I LOVE cables!! I'm working on a cabled scarf design that is thick and full of dimension.
I love cables! I was afraid of them until I made the cable st. hat by Silly Stitches. A light went on, with how she explained them. And it was easy. I need to make some owls, love them.
