Maurie H
yes
Anna C
I love the silver!
Elaine R
audio on
Maurie H
yes
Pauline P
I have Bill King's book - it's great. I'm not convinced about reforming all those stitches for a sweater, not the cables themselves. I'll experiment with different cables now.
Cynthia Q
👍
Karin R
sound is good
Elaine R
sound up
Tina B
must try that intarsia cable from tip of the week. just no idea to incorporate it.
Brian H
Yes
Maurie H
no sound
Tina B
A great book to explore cables came last year, from Bill King. Great bok.
Debra S
n sound now with color block cables
Karin R
sound went off again
Annie L
Good on sound.
Joy G
Yes
Tina B
No, but it is an extra needle, to add extra amount of yarn for crossing easier, if you meant that,
Joy G
No sound when you go to other screen
Karin R
sound is off when the cables are shown
Annie L
No sound.
Karin R
With the double bed you can incorporate "Sprengmaschen", I don´t remember the translation - adding needles for stitches to be dropped for the cable again. Tina, hast Du den Begriff auf englisch parat?
Pauline P
Sorry, hand knitting I mean, not machine knitting.
Pauline P
I knitted the back of an aran sweater on a flight to California years ago. I used a lot of cable and finished the sweater by the time the plane landed!! I knitted the front on the way home from California! Maybe we should take a long haul flight somewhere. years
Tina B
Cables are especcialy interesting for the bulky and midtgauge, i think. Especcially for non patterning machines. Big gauge, big inpact.
Pauline P
I'm not entirely convinced but I'll try it. Practice makes not perfect, but better!
Begunsusw@gmail.com
What about putting the side stitches on a stitch holder so I doesn’t run too far down
Pauline P
I'll try it. Tina - you must be very fast!
Tina B
But an allovercable pattern for a whole front, that is much work.
Pauline P
Great - thanks Sue. It looks lovely.
Cynthia Q
pop
Tina B
One or 2 cables on a front is not so much work. Crossing stitches every 6 or 8 rows, and latching up is relatively fast.
Pauline P
Sue, that's a lot of work for one cable. What if you were knitting a sweater?
Christine L
You can also use a shoe mirror to see underside.
Maurie H
yes
Cynthia Q
the knit ofmthe front of a cable is stockinette. With stockineete on both sides, it does not stick out, Purl on the edge of the canoe, makes it stick out. Frames it.
Maurie H
smart Cookie Annie L
Pauline P
I understand - thanks Cynthia. It's a strange term to use.
Tina B
use a ribber for that complicated pattern?
Annie L
Use your cell phone to photograph the frontside of your work so you don't need to crawl under your machine.
Cynthia Q
Pauline, think of it as white fabric with a beige oattern. The pattern will not show up easily. Outline the oattern with black and the pattern in the white fabric pops.
Tina B
yess, Thanks Joy
Pauline P
Thanks Joy. That's fine.
Joy G
Pauline, she means they show up nicely
Pauline P
Sorry Tina, I don't understand that.
Tina B
speaking as a and knitter. We must use the ribber or reform these stitches.
Tina B
it means that the cable stand out of the stokkinette. often you lay inn purl stitch columns for that.
Pauline P
what does popping cables mean?
