I’ve been knitting
One of my favorite hobbies to do is knitting. Right now I am in the middle of making a knitted afghan for my daughter’s bed and it is really starting to come along quite nicely. After seeing me work on this particular project for a few days, my youngest son has also requested that I make him an afghan as well. Well I have started looking at different patterns to see if I can create him something that looks like it would be good for a little boys bed. After coming across one pattern which I think may work out, some of the instructions got me a little confused. One of the stitches for this particular pattern would be the “cable” stitch. The term fiber cable has come up a lot lately in my research and I thought it had to do with knitting. But, after doing a little more digging, I have discovered that it doesn’t and it is something totally different. This is a good thing as I really had no clue as to how to do this particular type of pattern. I guess I don’t have to worry about that for now.
Yay - I love knitting. I took a class at a local yarn store and learned how to do the cable stitch - once you get the hang of it is actually pretty fun
Good luck
