I'm using Sirdar Breeze in Shade Nutmeg. I had a horrible feeling I was going to get the pocket flap in a unflattering postion with the button right where it shouldn't have been LOL! But I think it's going to be OK! Being the 'anal' fool that I am, I'm crossing the cables differently, one side to the left, the other to the right. I'm doing the bands separately after the welt, as I didn't like the way it was pulling-up due it being in garter st. I added a few short rows to try & even it up a little.

Too funny! I reckon you're right about Mr Cheese, I mean just look at that moustache ;)

Those patterns are really nice! I am not sure about Mr Cheese though LOL. Your version of the cabled top is looking great :-)
LoL!!! Mr Cheese is so funny! You have got a good eye for vintage stuff, I tend to pick things that are really naff!!!

I think you're right about Mr Cheese ;-) But I LOVE those patterns!!
