The good, the bad, the yarn

This is the good. I started this patch that I will turn into the front of a pillow. I finished it today and that means I freed up a cable of the Denise needle set. Yeah. I can't quiet count this as a finished project because I still need to sew it up. It will take me forever, but that is OK. I got another cable now, so I can cast on a project without having to resort to the "poor woman's cable" aka a piece of yarn strung through the stitches. Ain't too proud to use it though, just to ashamed to admit how many blankets and scarves and things I have cast on.
