...cables

For the last week, every evening I have been trying to design a beautiful easy-to-knit cable pattern. Every night I have been with the gorgeous yarn (this helps as it is a deliciously soft yarn to knit with) and my needles in front of the TV trying to get a good cable.

Sounds like it should be easy, I thought I would have the patterning done on Sunday....nah, nah, nah.

I try to design swatches that have a little bit of interest but once you have the rhythm you can just go for it without looking at the pattern too much. This is not happening this week!

I usually do my knitting in the evening because I like my stitches to be simple, so you can knit while watching TV, or chatting with friends, or while waiting for dinner to cook. I sometimes do the ultimate test, while having a glass of wine, I purely do this for my knitting research of course.....!

Best get back to this cabling.
