More progress...

Clessidra hourglass cable pattern repeat one finished (7986 more to come)...my fingers hurt (comes from trying out a new technique -> carbles without cable needle, I will probaby become world champion, there are SO many of them!) and I will give me a good rest.

I really love the pattern. It is just as gorgeous as it looks. I wanted red and since my LYS is discontinuing the lovely Regia Silk, they only had cremes and greys and blues left...and somehow deep inside me I felt the young schoolgirl jump up and down screeching "I want, I want", so I succumbed and so creme it is.

But I also fear that after having spent days and days knitting away at the most complicated pattern I have ever used, I will not dare wear them...just sit there, smiling crazily, fondling creme stockings...
