Congrats! Life without a cable needle is so liberating! Such a pretty pattern! In terms of wonkiness, some people knit into the back of the wonky stitch when cabling to tighten it up (I think I read that in some E.Z. thing).

cable stitches are so fun because they show results so quickly. I like knitting for my kids because their sweaters go together so quickly.

So pretty!!! I myself have not mustered enough courage to take on the cable stitch, so I can’t help you. And without cable needles? Impressive!

Good job on learning to cable without a cable needle – I still find it tricky and I need a lot of practice.

Re the provisional – I would put a needle or dpn two sizes smaller in the provisionally cast on stitches before you rip it out, that way the stitches will already be on there and you won’t have to worry about losing them.

I wish I had answers to all your questions, but I have no idea. The wonky stitches will probably block out, but I can’t say for sure when you should block it.

Woohoo for cabling without a cable needle! I learned to do it once, but I’ll have to relearn the next time I do cables. Oh well.
