I cable stitched! It's hard to see in these pictures, but this is a broader stitch with 6 stitches and made within the stitch and doesn't shift the stitch like the last one did. One mistake I had been making was I thought you had to put the cable stitch in the front for one row and then for the next row you have to put them in the back. However, for this particular one you take three stitches from the cable and put them in the front, knit the next 3 stitches in the cable then knit the three stitches off the cable needle. I just used a double pointed needle, though. You can also use a pencil instead of buying a cable needle. Then on the flip side you just knit or purl as needed. I also had a row of just knitting/purling as needed on the cable side in order to keep it from being too tight. So basically I would 1. do the cable stitch 2. knit/purl the back as needed 3.knit/purl the cable side 4. knit/purl the back 5. do everything again. Cable stitches are so fun! I'm so glad I finally figured out how to do them. There are so many different kinds and I want to learn how to do more sometime. I also want to make a hat with cables! I also want to make a tank top. Try to make a better tank top than that one time I made one. I also want to continue my sack project. I finished watching Shameless on Netflix. Wow. It's so weird how people get so invested in TV shows. Like I felt like I was really involved in all of those characters' lives and it's so weird to have to wait for the next season or that this show won't be new to me anymore. Why am I so invested in their lives? I want them all to be ok, but they won't because it's a dramatic TV show! I just really love Kev. He is so great. Like I felt like I was living their lives while I was watching it. That's like normal, but that's so weird that humans have this capacity?!? Also does this mean that I am not doing enough with my life? I haven't really been doing a lot, but sometimes being involved in other people's lives via TV is ok? It's so weird. I feel like my school life and home life is very different. I am much more of a lump at home. Is that ok, though? I'm not sure. See the last picture below for a sweet knitting meme(?) Also I took the title from www.google.com. Not my idea. Plz don't sue me, www.google.com!
This is pretty much what the cable looks like since it's hard to see in these pictures. Mine aren't as elongated, though. |
