I finished my update yesterday and it includes the Flying Cables pattern:
Knit kit: Flying Cables Sizes: S(M, L, XL,)
Measurements: 34(42, 46, 54)
Yarn: Spunky Eclectic Big Ball Chunky 3(3, 4, 4)
Gauge: 4 sts=1 inch, 5 rows=1 inch in pattern (Remember to wash and block your swatch. Using this yarn, it does make a difference.)
Needles: US8 (5mm) circular 24 or 29 inches in length; US10 (6mm) circular 24 or 29 inches in length. (Or needle that is 2 sizes larger than the one you need to obtain gauge. This second needle is for the neck bind off.)
Tools: darning needle for seaming and thinner yarn in the same color. (If you have purchased a kit, this yarn has been included.)
I never showed off a finished photo here. It’s been displayed in the shop for a while. I tried to wear it to Rhinebeck but it was incredibly hot that weekend. I have the sweater up as a kit or a pattern in The Store. I fiddled with the store a bit last night. For some reason the “new products” feature isn’t showing all the new items. There is a bunch of new handpaint fibers and a few new handpaint yarns that just aren’t showing up.
I have more to talk about but I’m seriously lacking in time. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Beautiful sweater. That will have to be added to my list for sure.

This is gorgeous! How much positive or negative ease do you recommend?

Love the sweater!

Oh Amy, that’s fabulous! Nice graceful flattering lines, but it also looks cozy and cuddly. Yum.

Whoa! That’s one gorgeous sweater. Nice job and such a flattering look. Congrats!

Lovely sweater! I love the decreases in the ribbing on the collar.

That is one classy looking sweater!

OMG that’s beautiful!! I just may need it…

I’ve seen this pattern all over Ravelry, and think it’s so pretty. I love the ribbing in the collar and how nicely it lays.

LOVE!

Really, really gorgeous!

Amy, it’s just beautiful without being at all fussy. I love it. I bet it flatters a ton of figures as well.

That is wonderful! I love the neckline. You always find a way to design user-friendly sweater patterns for those of us with construction issues. Most of the patterns that make sense to me are ones I wouldn’t ever wear. This is one where I can see how it works and would most definitely want to wear! Great job!!!

Really beautiful, Amy! Is there any way I could use my worsted weight “Mandy” yarn for this? The neck is gorgeous and the lace is so pretty…great job!

What a pretty sweater! It’s feminine, and looks really warm and cozy, too!
