Jeff, was wondering if you'd consider doing a lace doily for the top of my
rack ;)

Seriously, you're going to make some lucky loopette one heck of a catch
someday ;0

if you added velcro, you could use it as a wrap--make getting the cables in
and out easier (yeah, I know it's being done commercially, but in a LIGHT
BLUE SILK CHENILLE to DIE FOR) . . .

I've been meaning to check out the drainage field hose section of Home 
Depot
and look for a practical diameter thaat I could slit and pack with cables

I'm on a post-gear orgy, 12-step program at the present time. Please 
respect
