I'm new at this (duh), and I'm trying a simple cable on an afghan. Simple pattern, only 10 rows. Here goes.
Rows 1,3 and 5: knit (I can do that!) Rows 2 and 4:P3, k2, *p5, k2; rep from * across, end last rep p3 (I can do that too!) Rows 6 and 8: [K2,sl 1] twice, *k3, sl 1, k2, sl 1;rep from * across, end last rep k2. ( I can even do this, no prob) Row 7: P2, sl 1, k2
WAIT!! When do I bring the yarn back for the next knit stitch? After the purl, or after the slip?
then it goes on:sl 1, *p3, sl 1, k2, sl1; rep from * across, end last rep p2.
Here comes the tiny cable Row 9:K2, {cross 4(C4)}sl 1 to cn, hold in front, k 3rd stitch on LH needle, k first and 2nd sts, k1 from cn. HUH??? How the heck do I knit the 3rd stitch, then the 1st and second? then it goes on *k3, c4;rep from * across, end last rep k2.
Row 10: repeat Row 2.
It's a really pretty pattern called Celtic Tradition by Joyce Englund, who, OF COURSE doesn't have a website for idiot questions like mine.
Thanks, I hope!!! Sue
