Cable knit sweater inspo + tips needed

Edited by anniekins at 2024-1-11 08:37

I want to make an oversized gray cabled sweater because I have quite a bit of soft gray yarn that my neighbor gifted me. I'd love any pattern recommendations or specific photos for inspiration if you have any. I'd also love any tips on remembering what row you're on so you remember where you have to hold stitches. It's always a bit of a hassle for me since I have to stop and double-check where I'm at because I always forget what row I'm on.

I use knitcompanion for charts (works on android and iphone) and it takes a bit to get used to, but you can mark where you are with a yellow higlighter and I am now addicted to this app LOL
I stopped printing patterns, and no longer use my magnetic pad for chartkeeping
