Very nice! I was sure it was the no purl pattern before clicking on the link :) I’ve made a few of them as gifts, they always turn out beautiful and are super satisfying to make (quick and mindless).

Great question! For me it’s really the needle manipulation. I feel super clumsy and never sure if I made my stitches correctly. I can read charts no problem at all, but I can never get into a comfortable rhythm so I get frustrated and lose motivation to see it through.

Great job!! I’ve been knitting for about 10 years, never ever finished a project with cables. I always frog them. It’s truly my Achilles’ heel :(

I may have fallen into a rabbit hole of tutorials on this very topic (growing and spinning flax). So. Many. Traps.
