10/10 cable is a lot for this beginner

 Me 4 days ago: I want to learn cables and this cowl will be cozy and not a fire hazard in lab
Cable knit cowl with three buttons
Now me, every time I get to a cable row: Pls...no...so tight...aaaaack

Ultimately it is looking pretty good now at three repeats into the pattern. But boy, having only watched demos of like 4/4 cables, I did not realize how tight having two 10/10s right next to each other was going to make the stitches while I'm working that row. Every time a family member tries to talk to me during that row I'm just like "ssssshhhhhh, I've already dropped and rescued like half my stitches here."
