[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting cables on a loom, is it possible?

[Dixie]

Cathy,

Do you have a sock loom yet?  I have one I have yet to play with.  I would
love to do a pair of socks with a single cable to learn the techniques.

Hint, hint, hint.  Smile.

Hi All,

 

Yes it is possible. I have been learning a number of cabling techniques
which I will be sharing with you during the classes I will teach in January
and February. It is not particularly difficult to make all sorts of cables
on the loom and once you know how, you can make more decorative hats,
scarves, shawls and the like. I am currently working on a hat with cabled
ear flaps that is looking quite nice so far. 

I am not certain this particular project will be good for a class because it
is rather complex what with the cabling techniques, the need to learn how to
increase and decrease, plus the need to sew the front, back, and two sides
together. but if anyone is up for this sort of challenge, we can talk about
it for a March class and it would likely take four classes. 

 

So hope to see you in one or more of these classes next year. you will just
love the cables!

 

 

The more I learn, the more I want to learn!

 

Cathy
