[Nfb-krafters-korner] to my cable knit class students

[Linda Anderson]

Hi Kathy. My husband is in the hospital. I do not know if he will get out 
today or not. He had a reaction to his allergy shot and now they want to 
also check his heart. If I can make the class tonight , I will. I am truly 
sorry I cannot be at the class. Linda

> you may have noticed that between your cables and the edge of your work, 
> there always are  strands  of yarn. this makes the work look as though it 
> has horizontal holes in it.  this is the way it is supposed to look. we 
> are only practicing stitches, but in an actual project more knit rows can 
> be placed between the cable rows and this will limit the laciness of the 
> work. speaking of laciness, it is  important to remember that having an 
> even tension on your stitches in the cables themselves, will limit this 
> effect. you want the strands to lay flat,   not stretched tight, nor 
> draping loosely. this takes practice, but being certain that your cable 
> itself is not too tight or loose before continuing on with your work, can 
> help to avoid this situation. also be careful not to twist the loops when 
> transferring your loops to and back from your cable needle. the loop that 
> is placed on the cable needle first, is always the one to be placed back 
> first. the loops will always go in numerical order. if you are working 
> with placing loops one and two on your cable needle for example, remove 
> and later place them on pegs three and four in that order. one more tip, 
> remember that it is important to keep track of where your working yarn is 
> at all times. you don't want it to be in the way when you place loops back 
> onto the pegs. you don't want the working yarn behind those loops because 
> the loops can pop off if the working yarn is behind a loop.
>
> please let me know if you have questions about this or anything else. you 
> need to have this down before moving on to the six stitch left and right 
> cross, because things are more complicated when working with six loops as 
> you might imagine.
