Phildar Cabled Hoodie: July 2004 Archives

I blame it on Jackie. I've looked at this Phildar hoodie from Irlandais (#397) for months now. When I saw her knitting it up on her blog I couldn't resist it anymore.

I ordered the book (plus 4 others) from Knit 'n Tyme last night. I'm very anxious to get started on it! Does anyone know how quickly they ship?

I'm still undecided on the color. While I love the classic ecru that the sample is knitted in, it's not my personal favorite color to wear. I'm thinking of a brown, navy or black. Maybe even something a little tweedy. I don't recall seeing many cabled sweaters in tweed in person though. How well do the cables show up in tweed? In the pics I've seen they're not very defined, but sometimes the camera just has trouble picking up detail that's easily seen in person.
