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

[Cathy]

Dixie,

oh yes, I have cables
 from thin to thick to teach you. I am certain that the thin one will work for your socks. no, I have never tried  to work with a sock loom yet. that think yarn rather intimidates me at present. but I sure hope you can manage it yourself!
happy holiday!
