Introducing Maya and Free Cable Pattern.

So life has been going on. I have been thinking about blogging all this while but just couldn't get around to posting since a lot has been going on off late.
In this post I Introduce my love - Maya


In some of my earlier posts I spoke about KnitPink and creating some patterns for this Website and for a good cause. Well I did write one... ColorPlay Cap. The other one is still kinda in the works. The tunic.... I call it Maya. 

The idea for Maya is that it can be worn 4 ways. There is no front and back really. Nor is there any right side or wrong side to the garment. More to come on this when I publish the pattern. Meanwhile Ravelers can take a look at the project details here. Special mention to Barbara Walker's "Knitting from the top down". It is such an amazing reference.

I love Maya a lot, but am trying to work on making a better collar. I am not sure if you can see from the pictures, but I am not fully satisfied with the little line right below it.

If I had completed this project soon after I started work on it I would have worn it at least a few times. But now it doesn't fit me. I am sure you can guess why ;)

So this is going to be a gift for my sister back in India. I hope she likes it.

So while I work on writing up the pattern for Maya, I wanted to share the pattern for the cable I designed for it.

The same is available for download as a PDF document
The pattern has both written instructions and a chart. Looking forward to seeing the projects using this one.
