I’m making Fetching mitts for a number of my Christmas gifts. I’m adoring the cables more than I’ve ever adored cables before. Want to know why? Ok, I’ll tell you. It’s on account of Grumperina’s lesson on how to cable sans cable needle. It is an elegant solution to what has always been an awkward bit of knitting for me. Try it!
Yeah, I’m totally with you on that one. I was never really crazy about making cables until I learned it, and now I love them. It makes everything seamless and smooth.
Isn’t her tutorial the best?? I love Fetching and it was so nice to do it without a cable needle. I’d love a pair for myself, but right now that’s low on the list of priorities. Drat.
Ha! I’ve got a pair on progress on my lap as I type. Cable needles…we don’t need no stinkin’ cable needles!
Wow, these instructions are awesome! I’m going to have to knit up a swatch and try them out:)
I’m making a couple pairs for Christmas gifts as well. I will definitely check out the tutorial!
I think there is going to be a lot of Fetching mitts knit this winter!
I’ve only tried using a cable needle a few times – I totally hate it and LOVE cabling sans needles ;o)
