Cabling

Jan 20, 2007 2 Replies

Years ago i knitted my husband a sweater with cables that crossed in the middle and went sideways and back , a kind of Grid ,,, He still wears it , For myself i have a pink one that has several kinds of cables ,,, and since i knitted it downwards i could lengthen it when fashion suddenly returned to longer sweaters ,,,



my first cable sweatrer was for my husband when we met and he rode a scooter , i knitted one with so many cables that it weighted over



1.500 KG ,,, but it was very warm ,, mirjam

Mirjam, I'm racking (wracking??) my brain, trying to recall my first cabling project.. I THINK it was an orange sweater in 4th grade.... Hugs, Noreen

I am, at this very moment, wearing my first cabling project (a sweater vest in orange acrylic that I knitted almost 30 years ago, before I learned that you had to throw the yarn in a clockwise fashion on knit stitches).
