Default Cabling

Years ago i knitted my husband a sweater with cables that crossed in
the middle and went sideways and back , a kind of Grid ,,, He still
wears it ,
For myself i have a pink one that has several kinds of cables ,,, and
since i knitted it downwards i could lengthen it when fashion suddenly
returned to longer sweaters ,,,

my first cable sweatrer was for my husband when we met and he rode a
scooter , i knitted one with so many cables that it weighted over
1.500 KG ,,, but it was very warm ,,

Mirjam,
I'm racking (wracking??) my brain, trying to recall my first cabling
project.. I THINK it was an orange sweater in 4th grade....
Hugs,
Noreen

Default Cabling

I am, at this very moment, wearing my first cabling project (a sweater vest
in orange acrylic that I knitted almost 30 years ago, before I learned that
you had to throw the yarn in a clockwise fashion on knit stitches).
