Even though I still have quite a lot of knitting to do on my denim jacket, I’ve been thinking ahead to my next project and have been knitting swatches as part of the design process. Here’s a “big” cable:
Here is a panel of “mini” honeycomb stitch:
And here is a filler stitch:
I’m going to put these three elements together for my next project.
The honeycomb stitch I swatched is a honeycomb made up of 2-stitch cables. I thin k I will instead do a larger honeycomb with 4-stitch cables. I think it will “go” better with the main cable. So I’ll re-swatch that piece and see how it looks with the big cable.
Lucy doesn’t really care.
I agree–the larger honeycomb will balance better with your large cable, and offset the “filler” stitch better.
I hope it’s a lovely jacket. 🙂
I love the honeycomb whatever size you choose..very nice!
I like the honeycomb pattern, very pretty!

Oh but I care!!! Silly Lucy.
Love the designs and that green yarn. Can’t wait to see what it will be!
Wow , really like the look of all 3 stitches you have chosen, especially the cable sample, can’t wait to see what you knit up. Loving the progress on your knitted denim 🙂
That Lucy. You’d think she’d at least fake an interest. Cats! All they care about is sitting on the end result.
I have a number of patterns I’m interested in with honeycomb patterns. I am looking forward to seeing this one take shape.

What is the yarn??
I’m beginning to sense a new ‘Wendy Knits’ book in the offing. Will it be ‘Aran’, or ‘Cables’, or simply ‘Texture’? I have a weakness for those lovely woven cable things – they look so Renaissance to me.
I especially like the Large Cable.
Ah swatching!

I’m loving your outerwear knits. I wear cardigans and vests in the winter here instead of a coat.
I know you have a job, and you must sleep sometimes, what I can’t figure out is when!
