Unfortunately the recipient trumps the poll. That’s just the way it is. Just think of it this way, with so much input into the sweater, he better love it and wear it often!

I voted for no cables – I had a similar discussion with my husband over stripes. I’m going to knit him Fitzgerald in Noro Knits, but not with Kureyon, which would have made it interesting for me. He wants it plain, so I’ve promised endless stockinette in one color for a man who is 6’5″ – the things we do for love! Anyway, they have to wear the sweaters, they should get final say in the design.
(I personally like the cables on the sleeves.)

69 votes?!?! I think *someone* was stuffing the ballot box. 😉
PS- I voted for no cables. I figure if I knit it the way THEY want it, it will be worn. Otherwise, it’s a really nice lump of yarn folded in a drawer.

That’s quite the alteration in color balance! More brown than green? They look _brown_! I believe you, though.
Have you gotten your wool from elann yet?

Wow, I can’t believe he dismissed the opinions of knitters like that! I voted for mini-cables because it made the most sense given the body of the sweater. My boyfriend always rejects any change to a pattern, regardless of how much better it could look. Men…

see, this is just further evidence that Paul is indeed a Yo Yo man. I had it right!!!
kidding, Paul! my husband would fight against cables, too. in fact, he has–which is part of the reason he has yet to receive a hand-knit sweater. that, and the turd lost the hat i knit him after, like, two weeks… plus, i’m sure at this point, you’re thinking, Just give me the damn sweater already!
Paul=sweet.
Jody=sweet, too.

Check AC Moore for the new Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton book for Araucania. I saw it yesterday during a quick stop to AC Moore.
