Horizontal Cables

A while ago I saw a beautiful pattern for crocheted fingerless gloves on Ravelry - Comet by Tanja Oswald. It had horizontal cables and instantly started thinking about how to do horizontal cables in  knitting ... it took me a while to figure it out and I'm still not happy with the result and there is room for improvement, but it's a path worth pursuing.

 

Other ideas for horizontal cables (different ones though) can be found here:

Hexagon Mitts

I don't like weaving in ends ... so I tried to construct the mitts in a way that there are only two ends per mitt. It (sort of) worked.

EDIT: Here's the pattern: http://knitting-and-so-on.blogspot.ch/2013/10/hexagon-mitts-in-two-colours.html
