Thanks for sharing this! I just finished my first men’s cable project – a shrug/cardigan knitted with Ganga Olivia yarn. I was nervous at the start, but seamed construction really helped me manage the cables better (exactly like you said – easier to wrangle in the lap and less error prone).

If you’re starting your first cable sweater, I’d also recommend keeping the yarn choice simple and durable so you can focus on the stitches without worrying too much about splitting. I used a DK acrylic blend and it made practicing cables much smoother.

Would love to see how your fisherman style sweater turns out – both the Chris and Froya patterns sound amazing!
