Cabling Is Actually Really Hard

I'm really struggling with a pattern today -- double-pointed needles, which I hate, plus this complicated cast-on that I've never done -- and keep having to tear out and start from scratch.  Check this out, though:

I finished it yesterday.  It's a necktie I designed myself.  I found a pattern I really hated in a book, figured out what you need to do in terms of proportions and shape, then did what I wanted to do.  The cables -- which Aunt Judy wanted me to mention are actually really hard to do -- make it fancy. -- Peter

That tie, simply put, is just rad.
