How to Knit : How to Knit a Cable Stitch - All this time I thought learning how to cable was for the knitting elite. Good grief. :)
This is a real cable:

Thanks for the links. Have a great day!

The purple is so vibrant and gorgeous! My grandmother kints and crochets. I wish I knew how but I have never had the patience!

Magnificent! It’s so much fun isn’t it? I’m almost finished with my knitted bunny (it’s a child’s toy) I’m so proud of us both!
Can’t wait to see you so I can show you my shawl and toy!
Love Always,

I adore these colors - especially with the rich cable texture on them. So pretty!
Thank you for the i-cord video. I watched with my mouth open as she did it so easily!! Going round and round on the DPNs worked for my little flower-hat stem, but the official way looks much more fun. :) (What is Corking?)

I didn’t know you knitted or was learning to knit until just recently. I have my own knitting blog and hope that you will come visit me at it.

I don’t know how to knit with the cable needles yet and I’ve been knitting for a year now! Thanks for giving me somewhere to go so I can learn!
Blessings,
