That looks fabbo FC. And your cables go the same way as mine, which is a relief! If you look at the pattern picture they go the other way Confused

Just wondering if anyone is in this?? I started a Chicknits Basic Hoodie but didn't get very far (it's not totally abandoned though!!), I frogged my Ribby Cardi as it came out too small, but I do fancy starting a Twist sometime.

FC have you done any more on your Twist? What do you think of the pattern? It does look lovely knitted up on Rav - with collar and without Razz

I'm still in. Well, what I mean by that is that I still have Twist OTN somewhere ... got halfway up the back and put it down to work on some socks and, two months or so later Rolling Eyes

, haven't found the enthusiasm to pick it back up again Embarassed

And I really must, otherwise before I know it it'll be next year and too warm to wear it! Which'd be a shame, especially as for once I paid out for some Quality Yarn for it Wink

So I shall consider this a much-needed kick up the backside, thank you Mistress Pictish! Razz

So, you going to stick with the Basic Hoodie or go for a Twist? LOL, Stick or Twist? Laughing

Well I really should finish the Basic Hoodie first shouldn't I Rolling Eyes

but it's top down so have to be in a topdown mood IYKWIM Wink

I might dig it out and have a look Razz

I think you should get Twist out again - I was looking at it on Rav and it looks very squishy in the Cascade and a beautiful colour Razz

I'm definitely going for a brown one too!!

Nah you don't! Show me where it says you have to finish something before starting something else! Very Happy

Go on, cast on Twist. It's completely different construction - bottom up and in pieces - so perfect for when you don't fancy working on top-down Very Happy

You can definitely have both on the go at the same time Very Happy

and yeah, OK, I'll dig mine out again when I next have enough time to work out where I've got to on it and to remind myself of the pattern Very Happy

I'll do both!! Just dug out the Basic Hoodie and have only done about 6 rows Confused

BUT it's a lovely colour (camel - in fact the very yarn and shade used in the original pattern) so will carry on with it. Just realised it isn't shaped - I wonder if that's the same with Twist?? It will be nice and snuggly for winter so I need to get a move on Cool

I'll cast on for Twist later I think Wink

I'm going to use Jaeger MM Aran in Mole(a sort of milk chocolate brown Razz

) from stash.

Go girl!

Doing both sounds like a fine plan to me

Could be - if the mood takes me Laughing

I might add waist shaping to the Chic Basic when I get there - not sure as it requires thought!! At least I'd scribbled on the pattern where I'd got to Wink

Piccie later!!
