Now, I developed a few abbreviations but with common instructions, let me know if another abbreviation is better or more consistent with our "knit world" and it's terminology.
If you are not familiar with cables, this pattern is a challenging 20 rows. However, I hope the instructions are easy enough to read to keep you going.

Hi, I saw your blog yesterday for the first time and could not wait to try your knit in chunks pattern. I started kntitting it last night.I think I know what you mean when you were talking about confusion, but I have never knit elaborate cable before and I think that on row 8, the second half, it doesn't match the pattern in your picture ( which is amazing). I would love to maybe send you a picture and maybe you could tell me if I made a mistake.
