And since with this pattern, you only have to do it with 3 stitches, it's not that long. Give it a try!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493214800517883695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828569.post-79664492993590686632007-02-27T13:17:00.000-05:002007-02-27T13:17:00.000-05:00Your cables look great!

I have a great pattern for a small cabled clutch purse that I am dying to knit, but I still need to sit down and practice my cables before I make the jump.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789738602297831459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828569.post-81951672602244094722007-02-22T16:44:00.000-05:002007-02-22T16:44:00.000-05:00Yeah -- learning a new knitting thing is not neces...Yeah -- learning a new knitting thing is not necessarily a good thing.

But they're really not that hard. I made a sweater once that had cables and a lot of other tricky things and it turned out fine. Wish I could find the directions to make another one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
