I was searching my blog for something else, and this popped up. I’m running it again because it’s helpful!
How many rows has it been since I cabled? See the hole where my finger is coming out? That indicates last cable crossing. The first ladder next to my finger is from the cable row. The three other ladders over my finger are the three rows that followed. My thumb is pointing at the ladders, just to be helpful. This shows that I have worked the cable row and three more rows (actually rounds here). According to my pattern, it’s time for my next cable crossing!
I learned this trick in 2016 from Norah Gaughan at Columbia Gorge Fiber Festival. This was long before we were teachers/cruise buddies on the 2022 Vogue Knitting Cruise to Canada & New England.
Do you enjoy knitting cables? I haven’t knit cables for a while, but I definitely like them. Check out my Tutorials page for more cable fun, including cabling without a cable needle.
