Lovely Twists and Turns

Cables make some of the most stunning visual effects in knitting. Learn the basic cable cross and travelling stitches (to create diagonal lines), which will allow you to create visual effects of crossing, turning, honeycomb, braiding, and the like. Using over 25 swatch examples in class, we will compare different cabling effects and practice some of them. Cable symbols on charts will be covered, along with how to add some textures to simple rope cables. As time permits, how to correct a rope cable lower down in your knitted fabric (that is crossed in the wrong direction) will also be demonstrated.
