this is a scarf I'm making for my pig sister, PK.  I couldn't get photoshop to get the color right, but this is close.  It's a baby alpaca yarn, chunky, knit on US 10's.

Thanks Kevin
I was stuck on a cable pattern for T4B and T4F and the pattern glossary never had it. Nor did the glossary or abbreviations on the Patons website. Thanks to the WWW I put in a Google search for "knitting T4B" and this page came up as the top hit! My knitting lives on!

Wow! I am so pleased. This is exactly one of the main reasons I began this blog. There are so many knitting directions which are hard to sort out. This makes me so happy! Thank you for letting me know!
