I have just run into a similar situation with a co-worker. She wants projects to do and I'm the only one she know who wears a kilt. She just gave me a few books of patterns to look through. I'll get the names of them to you when I get home from work tonight.

A quick glance at them the other day seemed to show that they were a lot of different cabling pattens but I'll get the titles to you anyhow. Might yield some good stuff.
