I have here for review a very handy booklet:
This is First Time Cable Knitting by Cari Hammett. This is a 32-page booklet with nicely detailed instructions for how to knit cables. There are step-by-step instructions with nice clear photos, charts, and sample swatches.
In addition to the how-to information, there are stitch patterns for 7 different cables. The instructions are charted and written out.
And there are 2 patterns for projects: a laptop cover:
And a pillow:
This is a handy resource for anyone who is new to cables, I think. Rather than do a giveaway on the blog, I am going to pass my review copy to my new knitter I taught last summer. She hasn’t done cables yet. 🙂
Meanwhile, I am still at work on the back of Chloe.
And Loki is resting up for Superbowl viewing later.
It does look like a valuable book…your student will love you for it. Can’t wait to see all your cables together in the end.
What a great teacher. Your new knitter will live it.
Loki’s fur looks crimped like one of our wooly friends!
I like Elaine’s comment about crimped hair. Are you saving Loki’s hair for spinning into yarn?
Have a great week. M
Looks like a good booklet, and good value for money–even for NON-first time cablers lol.
Loki is gorgeous as always!
Lucky you, New Knitter! You will fall in love with cables.
Your Chloe is looking better and better each week! I love knitting cables and know that your new knitter will enjoy the book. Loki looks beautiful as always.
Look at that face! Such a handsome boy
