Ready to take your knitting beyond the basics? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of knitting cables without committing to an entire cabled project.
We’ll work through a series of cable techniques on a practice swatch, learning how to read cable instructions and charts, use a cable needle, and create a variety of simple cable designs. You’ll also learn tips for keeping your cables neat and how to troubleshoot common mistakes.
This class is a great way to build confidence with cables and add a new skill to your knitting toolbox—all while creating a swatch you can keep as a reference for future projects.
