A square is born


I picked out this pattern (the middle one) from Beautiful Knitting Patterns by Gisela Klopper. It includes cables and charts, two things I've learned from Sarah so far, and also it looks really cool.

I have about 2 inches done so far, and I'm hoping to get 2 pattern repeats total. This is the first time I've taken a stitch pattern and attempted to calculate the number of stitches/rows to get a certain size. We'll see what happens.
The yarn is plain ol' Cascade 200, but it's a very lovely dark heathered purple and me likes it a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of you are planning (hint, hint)!

I think that's the same yarn Sarah used to make my sweater!
