Started 2 days ago. Time to jump into advanced patters >:) Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial!

[@veniestagourdine3881]

I was always intimidated by cables but once I decided to just give it a try I now can’t stop.

[@titus4166]

Watched several videos to try and understand cable knitting. This is by far the best video explanation for me. ❤ thank you

[@ashlol4151]

i really thought cables were so difficult and this made me reason they are not

[@mementolin]

I am a beginner knitter, and I love how you make this process sound easy. Perhaps I will try it out in a bit (also I was like “is that a malabrigo yarn in English rose” when you showed it cuz I got some in my first outing at a Lys. Very lovely yarn and I love it, but probably shouldn’t have gotten it as a beginner.)

[@mcervantes362]

WOW! You made it seem so easy, so I tried it, and it IS easy! I am already working on a Harry Potter scarf set in green and silver (Slytherin) for a Christmas gift. Thus far it is coming along nicely.

[@o0TIGERLILY0o]

Hey really helpful video, just went into your sites page for this specific swatch pattern. I just noticed there seems to be a typo in the row eleven step, it says at the end 'finally P6, K4 to finish the row', where the P6 is supposed to be a P5, I worry this might confuse some people... Really awesome tutorial tho thanks !! :D

[@marinacosgrove4245]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Your teaching style is always so clear and understandable ❤

[@BTSedits23461]

This was the easiest tutorial on cables I have found so far! Thank you

[@logikgirl12]

This was very useful! tysm 😊✨

[@kellymcewen5266]

I’m looking for the pattern in the description but I can’t seem to find it

[@thequeenofsarcasm1340]

Ik this comment is old but if you go to her website in the block "ways to support this channel" and then search "swatch" on the website you should find it

[@maureenmccue6880]

Extremely helpful. You’ve demystified the concept and I’m excited to get started

[@Jesines94]

Ty for the video!! tutorials are really your thing!! was really helpfull and encourage me to try to do it❤

[@missmaria165]

Also... combination knitting integrated into the cables really help tighten up the stitches.

[@lynnstefanick7071]

So clear, I am so ready to try😊

[@Diane574]

I don’t find the Amazon link below for the cable needle you prefer??

[@katierose8632]

I think the written swatch pattern isn’t in the description, unless I’m missing it? Help lol

[@tiyat.3452]

This is SO helpful, thank you so much

[@Raylindiana7]

Loved this! Thank you for the tutorial

[@SophiaHuey-cm2pb]

Who else is using a spare knitting needle?

[@artgoyle]

This is more a video about needles, but back to cables, what to do over the next rows?

[@paulacotterell7285]

U can use a cable needle as close as u can to ur needles

[@mirrenfan2]

I can't find the printed swatch pattern. Help!

[@paulacotterell7285]

Use a size larger for ur cable needle

[@a32719]

What row is the first cable row please ?

[@1havenoideawhatimdoing]

Hey, does anyone know if you need the same size cable needle as your knitting needles?

[@lizw5]

Thank you so much! I’ve wanted to try cables but was intimidated. I tried your swatch and it was so easy to do, I’m in shock! Could you do a video on short rows next? Thanks for initially teaching me and continuing to teach me how to knit!!

[@bhookedknitting]

I’m so glad it helped! I felt the same way you did about cables, and simply couldn’t believe how easy it was when I tried it. I LOVE the idea of making a short rows video! That’s going on the list for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Foxy807]

could you tell me where to find the swatch pattern please? I am looking under the video in description but cant find it. Thank you!

[@Klim73]

Thank you!

[@EyerusNegash-sm3mb]

[@queeneywarren9474]

[@karenspencer763]

Thanks!

[@bhookedknitting]

Thank you so much, Karen! 💙

[@RoseVuokko]

At 7:40 in the video you say that the cable you demonstrated is c4f, that’s not correct. It would be c8f 🤔 or am I wrong? C4F would be 2sts to cable needle, hold in front, k2 then knit 2 off cable needle…

[@amandaknopf9880]

Everything I am reading online about cable patterns say that the # in the abbreviations is NOT exactly how many to slip on cable needle. I’m so confused 😢 (PS I love your video and made my first swatch! Just trying to read new patterns now)

[@little_melona]

I’m running into the same issue! All the ones I’m seeing is that C4F is to slip 2 stitches on your cable needle, not 4. I’m going to trust what the pattern I’m following it says which is to slip 2 and then knit 2 for the cable. Fingers crossed it’s correct!

[@fidelcheto9409]

Hey, at least I can have a change

[@shea837]

Why does no one show knitting the wrong side of the actual, dang cable?

[@user-sn2bn3bn9y]
