the cabled scarf

Today I learned a little more about making cables pretty, loose stitching isn't really the answer. I thought that making the stitches really loose would make the cable look better because it wouldn't pull so much but it turns out that really isn't the case, if you count up from the bottom of the scarf, cables 1-4 were made pretty tightly and 5-7 were made loosely, I think tight looks better even if it is a little harder to knit.
