Interesting sweater pattern

At the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival, I saw an Aran sweater with an interesting cable pattern.

First, a bit of history (From Wikipedia):

"Aran sweaters take their name from the Aran Islands of the coast of Ireland. They feature "cable knitting", which creates a 3-D textured pattern in the sweater. Think of a cable pattern as a set of serpentine or wave-like cables, each one meandering around its own center line. Aran sweaters often feature a variety of cable patterns arranged in vertical bars.

Some stitch patterns have a traditional interpretation often of religious significance. The honeycomb is a symbol of the hard-working bee. The cable, an integral part of the fisherman's daily life, is said to be a wish for safety and good luck when fishing. The diamond is a wish of success wealth and treasure. The basket stitch represents the fisherman's basket, a hope for a plentiful catch."

But there's always room for a new pattern...
