I made it in black and white so as to best show off the stitch detail and how little the carried yarn shows through... on another note...I would love to learn a new way of making cables! I have both of the <a HREF="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-0110598-9348770?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=crocheted+aran+sweaters&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go" rel="nofollow">"Crocheted Aran Sweaters" books by Jane Snedden Peever</A>, and those cables add great touchability to projects. knowing how to do it in tunisian crochet would be awesome. neat. fyi, I just uploaded a couple of photos to my flickr page of a swatch I just put together carrying the contrasting yarn along the rows – so I changed color for both forward and reverse passes, but have no ends to weave in (other than the beginning and end of the swatch).

I write down the yarn & hook I used, plus any notes I think are important. That way, I always have a sample to refer to for gauge, and I can flip through my swatch book for ideas.
