sneak peek.

I was really surprised at how fast this crochet pattern came together...that rarely ever happens!

Also, I'm so excited and happy with how it turned out!! In the pattern the cables are getting progressively longer, but I love that they also look like they are getting progressively wider at the bottom.

I should have the pattern up later this week :)
