Over the Top

I love cables. Adore them, in fact. So I was quite excited to see a link to a "Gratuitous Cables Shrug" pattern on Knitting Pattern Central. But I have learned that there is indeed such a thing as too many cables. This woman looks as if she's wearing a pie crust. And the sad thing is, a lot of effort went into that. Makes me a little sick to my stomach just thinking about it...kinda like eating a lot of raw pie crust dough. Ugh.
