I usually have something on the machine "in progress", and today it is the "Knit Big or Go Home" sweater in the current issue of Knitwords. This is a nice pattern - extra "short rows" to deal with crossing the huge 6 x 6 cable. Since I don't have a 6 prong transfer tool, I used a double pointed needle as suggested in the accompanying article in the same issue, and it worked great. It's still a bit "tense" crossing that many stitches, but so far I'm pleased with the results.
There are very few "crossings" too, because of the scale of the cable - I think just five or six altogether. I'll post pictures of the finished item soon!
