This week's part of Gina's Afghan is a little unusual.

It isn't just unblocked. The distance between the cable ribs does change.

This chart is repeated twice here, then twice again later in the strip.

This week, I chat with doilyhead and share chart 14 of Gina's Afghan.

In the cables for this week's chart, I experimented a bit with making a set of cables that isn't perfectly symmetrical throughout. Instead, the space between the cables subtly increases and decreases if you look across or up and down the panel.

I was inspired by a comment from someone I met who had been married a long time. He said that you have moments when you are closer, and moments when you are farther apart, but marriage is how you choose to wait out the times that you aren't as close, so that you can be again, later.

So, this chart isn't as symmetrical as is entirely normal, but it does look interesting, once it's done.

Conversation

My chat this week is with Glenda, also known as "doilyhead," at least, on Ravelry.
