Suitable for knitters with some cable experience, this class takes your skills to the next level. We’ll create a sampler, playing with a wide variety of cable patterns and stitches: knit/purl versions, uneven cables, reversible ones, slip-stitch variations. We’ll show you how to work without a cable needle, speeding up the process. We’ll share tips for making cabled fabrics more tidy. And along the way we’ll also review chart and pattern reading, and teach you how to fix mistakes. We’ll also touch on designing and customizing cable patterns.
Skill level: intermediate; knitters must have some cable-knitting experience
Students should bring: scrap light-coloured medium-weight yarn and 4-5mm/US #6-8
needles, a cable needle, a crochet hook and two DPNs in a similar size; students may also bring any patterns or projects they wish to discuss
