Sadly, something about it didn&#8217;t do it for me.  The yarn felt uncomfortable, and look a little sloppy in the cables.  I ripped it out and made a stockinette swatch, and the yarn feels wonderful.  It&#8217;s seems to be happier in a nice orderly medium tight st st.  I may have to consider a basic vee neck sweater for the Main Line.  For now, I love the cable, and there&#8217;s some Silky Wool winging its way to me from Webs (sales are great!).  <\/p>\n<p>So, for now, you can enjoy the simplicity of the cable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/zardra\/237345619\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:hand;width:320px;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/83\/237345619_9f31845622_b.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And my thanks to Jodi.
