Topic: cables
I give up. The best way to post info about patterns I am knitting, with all the picture details is take the plunge and start a blog.
I will join the thousands of knit bloggers who have created an ENORMOUS amount of inspiration on-line for all of us.
I had a hankering to make myself a black vest. And simply cabled. The trick was working the straight line (which the cables create) into a curve that would work around my body parts (which are not a straight line). Elsbeth Lavold has made an entire career out of doing this by shaping vertical rib patterns. The pattern is in the works. I hope to have all the details ironed out by the summer.
The neck:
You'll notice that the cables are soft and subtle. That required DRASTIC altered spacing of the cable twist rounds. In fact, once blocked, the cables are hard to really see, rather giving the illusion of something going on.
This is, in fact, quite fine with me. I am, after all, a double Pisces, and we don't quite work in the real world.
