how to cable knit


Cables make a knitted piece look real class. Video attached shows rather clearly how it is done.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJQS-XB20SQ

What is done in the video is usually indicated as C6F or Cable 6 Front i.e. take 3 stitches purlwise with cable needle, place at front of work, knit next 3 stitches on left hand needle and go back to knit the 3 stitches on the cable needle. You may do this by working the stitches directly from the cable needle or put them back on the left hand needle and work on them as you would any other stitches.

Try doing a cable by placing the cable needle stitches at the back of work and you will get a cable going in the opposite direction. This will be indicated as C6B or Cable 6 Back.

Do one cable placed in front and another placed in the back and you will get one that looks like a snake. Do two front and two back , one front and two back or in any combination you like and see what comes out of it. :)

Size of cable is determined by number of stitches used. Cable 2 or 4 for smaller cables. You may also mix different size cables in a piece of work.

Go on. Have fun creating different designs.

Feel free to give me a call or sms or e-mail should you need any clarification. ok?

NOTE: there will be no craft session this Saturday as I will be in Expo from Wednesday to Sunday.
