| Marie-Jo C Thank you ! I have a lot to discover in the videos ! |
| Shane D hand manipulated stitches book is also good if you can find it |
| Nancy M making a pillow is a great way to learn a new technic ... and you end up with a great gift! |
| Susan G does bridging for cables and often she does it to make a fatter cable |
| Annie L Is traveling the same as racking? |
| Nancy M will do |
| Dr Jeri V Why not show them how itâs done? |
| Judy P bridging??? andthink she means all the way up |
| Maurie H you reform the whole line |
| Lara F Some day I'll get a machine with a ribber |
| Nancy M use flat rib to do traveling cables |
| Hi |
| Marie-Jo C I can't understand how you obtained the green and blue cables ! |
| Jennifer J Thanks |
| Lara F it's more like a double knit (brioche) |
| Nancy M knit it on row below |
| Lara F nope but now I want to! |
| Judy P stitches first on show on knit side [public] next show on purl |
| Jennifer J What is a tuck stitch in hand knitting? I donât know that term |
| I think you may have missed my question, This is Kari from Tacoma. when reforming stitches do you do it with just each cable group or the whole line of cables |
| Special T Depending on yarn i have knit the cable cross row plus one more row. Then take out extra row. Transfer cables then manually taking the cables stitches. I use the reformed side stitches.. |
| when reforming stitches do you do them one cable at a time or the whole series of cables when you are all done? |
| Sally S i tried leaving 2 needles out of work each side and then reforming 1 stitch only on each side to give some ease |
| Annie L Run a purl stitch, on each side of a cable, on the ribber bed. |
| Lorraine L if you leave a stitch out of work, how do you keep the border stitch from getting sloppy. Hand knitting you would knit thru the back loop |
| Maurie H the green and blue is that intarsia and cable at the same time? |
| Jennifer J I like the purl stitch to make the cable pop |
| SHIRLEY R Making purl stitches with ribber. |
| I like the look of the OOW needles, as it makes the twisting the cables easier, and segregates the cable. |
| Jean S love the idea of two colors forming the cable. Think this would be great on a color block blanket. |
| Stephanie S Could you leave 2 out of work each side? |
| Marie-Jo C I like very much these green and blue cables. Very original ! |
| Jennifer J Sorry I am late. This is new to me. I have hand knit lots of cables, but never on the machine |
| Betty E J do you need to up the needle size? right before you the the cable |
| Jean S or use a stitch holder to help you transfer the stitches if you don't have a transfer tool. |
| Kelly C got it |
| Lynne K Yes thanks done cables |
| Margaret G How do you make a cable without a three-prong tool? |
| Renée A Does it matter which direction the cables go. Renée |
| Sam- I have done them by hand so assume they are done the same on a machine with a trasfer tool. |
