| I have been practicing making cables. Not a strong point with me, but that is why I am practicing. :) I did three swatches so far of different wools to get a feel for it and to see which fiber I liked with the cables. The grey is the Wool-Ease blend with the Triple-Braided Diamonds, the white is Knit Picks Wool Swish with the Double Cable or Horseshoe Cable and the brown is the Lion's Brand Fisherman wool with a Staghorn Cable. All of these cable patterns came from Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Kniiting Patterns. I want desperately to make an Aran sweater. I am currently looking at Janet Szabo's book Aran Sweater Design. I don't want to design my own because that would just take too much thinking power for me, but I may knit one from a pattern. |
