For this assignment, you need to knit something with a cable pattern. The what is left up to you, based on what sort of item you want to make. To get you started on ideas, I've included a few suggestions below; if you've got a different idea, though, or just need help finding something you like, send us an email for approval or advice.

Suggestions

• Aran iPod Cover is aptly named and rather nice-looking;
• Coronet, "a simple stocking cap with a pretty cabled band";
• Dr. Montville's Double Helix Seaman Scarf is a scarf with DNA on it, and it doesn't get much better than that;
• Knitted cushion cover with cables, a plain name for a gorgeous piece of knitting;
• Tasha, a knit bag with cable accents;
• Who?, a hat featuring the most adorable cabled owls ever;
• Ravelry's search for free cable patterns, for which you need to be logged into Ravelry to view the results.
