I know it is still summer but it takes at least 4 weeks for me to knit a man's sweater. I want to knit my husband an Aran cabled sweater. I have knitted a babies cardigan and a hat in cables but this would be my first whole adult garment. After looking at retailors in Ireland I am starting to wonder if it wouldn't be less hassle just to buy a sweater. Then again it wouldn't have been made by me.
I love this video about the history of how Aran sweaters are made.
It would be less trouble, but usually the bought ones only have cabling on the front and not on the back...

I was only tempted by the bought item of a second. ( I have just finished the back ribbing.)
