What would your family and friends say at the next dinner when you told them you knitted this sweater? The Milam Gap Boatneck Sweater is one of those sweaters you will be so proud to wear and show off. The cables looks more intricate than they really are. You will feel like a knitting rockstar!

Last summer my family and I spent our vacation in the Blue Mountains of Virginia. While in Virginia, we spent a day on the scenic and winding Skyline Drive. This sweater is my memory of that day trip. The intricate details of the cables on the front of the sweater is reminiscent of the slow winding path of the Skyline Drive, while the plain stockinette back is a reminder of the calm of sitting on a porch in a rocking chair with a glass of local wine on a cool evening watching the mountain lines fade into darkness.
