Last weekend, I wanted to cast on to something new and the Quick Knits Club came to the rescue. One of February’s patterns, the Argyle Cuff, looked fun so I dug up some scrap yarn and got started. The 2 stitch cable made it a fun project that was finished in an afternoon but the finishing took a bit longer. Blocking was definitely required and the cuff seemed to take forever to dry. The wait was worth it though. The cables really popped and the width was perfect. Once I sewed on two orange buttons, it was perfect and quite cozy. 

Part of the cozy-ness was due to changing the yarn because it allowed me to make the cuff longer and fit my wrist. I added a few rows of garter at the end to make up for the missing length. The garter rows make a nice ending and beginning too. Once I can scavenge some more white yarn, I definitely going to make another one. It’s too fun not to.
