Cables aren't very hard to learn. There are some small cable needles of different sizes available in most places you buy yarn at. I just got a book of seamless knits for dogs with lots of ideas I'm anxious to try (my new dog is a Chiwinny with very short, thin hair. He is still a puppy and was born in Tennessee, so our wi winters may pose a problem for him if I don't get a few sweaters made for him.)

I will have to think on what would be a good suggestion for your drive.
