How to Cable Without a Cable Needle

Ready to streamline your cable knitting? Enter cabling without a cable needle! It’s true - it can be done, and it’s not as scary as it may seem. I do want to recommend using a sport to worsted non-superwash yarn, there’s lots of reasons for this, but mostly, the way superwash yarn is treated makes it slippery.. dropping stitches is never any fun. You can absolutely do this with thinner yarns, b...

    I just watched a video of nimble needles and he says the stich should be twisted back on to the needle. This is basically a normal bind of but done in a different manner. Or maybe with a smaller twist. I would have to try it to see the actual difference myself. Looks more convenient than passing over stiches though.

    • @LoneGems
      @LoneGems 11 месяцев назад

      I think it can be done on a 2x2 rib stitch. What will happen is the floats on the back will be a bit longer, so as long as you are okay with the longer floats it will be fine. When you do Fair Isle you typically don't want to have floats longer than 3 stitches without being caught again. Also keep an eye on your tension as you go, if you pull too tight you could loose the elasticity in the knitting. You could also seam the knit brims together to hide the floats on the inside and permanently lock the brim in place.

    Hi, This is the first video of yours that I've seen. Found it in the free pattern for the scarf you showed early in the video. And, I found the pattern link on Ravelry. I first loved the look of the scarf and the pattern being free was a big bonus. Thank you so much for that, btw. I really appreciate your tool recommendations too. I had no real idea what blocking wires were or how to use them. And, I've been wondering about sock blockers too. You really cleared up my biggest questions about those too. Thank you again! To date, I've only got one pair of socks under my belt but, they weren't blocked. It didn't keep me from wearing the heck out of them though. Anyway, between the interesting pattern (that also had me learning 💜 a new cast on & bind off) and the video, I had to hit that subscribe button and the bell too. 🥰 I know you have more for me to learn, thank you again. 💜✌️🧶

  • @jzimbel
    @jzimbel 2 года назад

    Thanks for the great tutorial, this is exactly what I was looking for! I have 2 questions, would really appreciate the extra guidance. 🙏 1. If my hat uses 2x2 ribbing, could I get a similar result by doing s2 wyib, p2? Or does this work best only as described? (s1 wyib, p1) 2. Could you clarify which way the fabric bends? If I have the RS facing me while I work 2 rounds of this fold line, will the fabric bend toward me (RS) or away from me (WS)? Thanks again!

    • @afibercollective
      @afibercollective 2 года назад

      This is a great question!! I haven’t tried the 2x2 yet - I wonder what slipping 2 side by side will do. To answer your question, when knitting the right side, the part after the bend leans towards you - so essentially the two right sides will be facing eachother when the brim is folded, just like when knitting a folded brim beanie without the special add in. Does that make sense?

    I like the style of blocking wires you showed. I have some that come wound in a tin. When you unfurl them, it can be dangerous if you don’t control the ends. They work great and I have two tins with two sizes. They are great for shawls. The knitter’s pride pins were a game changer for me when I bought them. I have three sets now that I have acquired over time. The knit picks brand and knitter’s pride brands are great for blocking accessories.
