Easy Cable Join for Machine Knitting by Diana Sullivan

[@Ravencall]

This is one of your videos that I haven't seen- and I just happen to need it for a project. Thank you- 10 years later!😊

[@CGM52]

Thank you, Diana. This is a lovely way to join afghan panels, and exactly what I was looking for this morning. Your videos are always clear and easy to understand.

[@couryswan2448]

Your a life saver! I am so excited to get into joining my Afghan in progress!

[@lauriekilborn]

So glad for all your videos, they are inspiring.👏👍

[@anacolon5918]

i want to say thank you for your great input, not only on this video but for so much you put into helping other people learning the best way to do thing. thank you

[@peekabeaux]

Thanks for another great video! When you put this up, I was working on a throw to take with us to high school football games. It is made of 3 panels and I really wasn't looking forward to mattress stitching them. This worked out great and even looks better then I could have imagined. I'm looking forward to your next video.

Hi Diana, you're a wonderful teacher even for a people like me whose native tongue is not english ! thank you :)

[@ГалинаД-ж2ю]

Thank You so much,very easy to understand,a great idea!).

[@YannaMichaelides]

Thanks so much once again. Wonderful result with an extremely easy technique . Your idea has made me feel excited. I am getting ready for winter and I was about to start making some throws and blankets. Thanks again.

[@MECBeads]

Thank you, Diane. Lovely join, and an answer to how to join my afghans.

[@deemail100]

Love the look, have done something similar (making the cable onto one side of my sweater panels and then joining another panel, by hand). I do this because I am a larger size and I like my sweaters to be looser than the machine bed can handle. I look forward to trying this version, thank you for the demo.

[@curlycords]

Excellent tutorial and awesome instruction. Thank you so much for sharing this technique . I read about it but never understood it until now :)

[@CSteen1949]

Ingenious method, Diana! I've signed up for your class at SAFF next month--looking forward to meeting you!

[@bikrgran]

This is really pretty. Think I'll have to try it with the baby jacquard I have. THANKS!

[@biloxipinto62]

I think thats great.. we need to see more of you.

[@silviochan89]

clever, thanks for sharing happy new year 2021

[@deemail100]

thanks so much for sharing another technique for joining..I am a size too big for my knitting machine so am always looking for ways to join sections of my sweaters together that are unique or pretty or colorful. I can't wait to use this tomorrow or the next day as we are in the middle of a really cold winter and I am boosting my sweater production. thanks again...

[@dianaknits]

Hi, Linda! Nice to hear from you, and great questions - Yes, I'm moving across just to save the extra time of swapping sides. If you run out of needles, take the stitches off on a bit of waste yarn or a 7-needle transfer tool and move back to the right.

[@americanmade1701]

AWESOME..LOVE IT!!!

[@dianaknits]

Sure, you could alternate. You can do braided cables and other cables, as well.

[@Barb515]

Love all your Tutorials ..Thanks for sharing. I was wondering why you could not alternate your cable crosses so that you would not run out of needles..ie, cross to left on odd row multiples of 10, then to cross to right on even ones. In other words, when the row counter says 10, 30, 50, cross to the left, and when the counter says 20, 40, 60, etc cross to the right. I think that would make a nice cable, too. Do it on 4 off center needles that do not get used as much usually. Just wonderin'

[@lyngoldrick9175]

So very interesting, will try this one

[@nadirreis5744]

Nossa apesar de eu não entender nada que você diz, mas a explicação tá tão perfeita, que ameii ... vc é muito criativa, meus Parabéns !! Abraços aqui do Brasil

[@curlycords]

That is a wonderful technique and I will definitely try it out on my next baby blanket. Do you always transfer the right two stitches over to the left? Are you able to alternate the cable? Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@doraslearning]

i am doing this join now one thing you didnt mention what do we do when we run out of needles going to right to left do we transfer the knit to the right side and contine as my panels are quite long to overlap my bed thank you

[@cristinavolpi3479]

grazie mille. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@dianaknits]

Of course! That'll work.

[@hadaselim4245]

Very nice

[@lindinalvasilvamartins7442]

Gostaria de uma maquina dessa onde encontrar moro no Brasil

[@MECBeads]

Hi Diane, thank you for this join, I have been using it faithfully. However, I have modified a handknit cable afghan, and in doing so have modified this 10 row transfer, to a 4 ROW transfer, making the join invisible. ;) I also use it as a non-roll edging ;) Have a Great Day. Mary-Ellen

[@dianaknits]

That's right! Use if with ANY cable you'd like. It could be a braided cable, a woven cable, a narrower or wider cable, or a different number of rows between twists.With regard to non-roll, I have a cable edging in my Mid-Gauge book that is really very pretty. It goes well with this cable.

[@MECBeads]

Thank you, Diane....how can I check it out?

[@donaldreeves2782]

Are you using the whole edge stitch (both loops that make up the stitch) or only the inside loop of the stitch (the one closest to you)?

[@lucilitalucilita]

WONDERFULL,YOU AR GREAT,THANK YOU

[@bikrgran]

COOL! (as usual) Just curious...do you move over the 2 needles just to keep from having to do the juggling of normally swapping sides, or is there another reason? Did miss, what happens if you have so many rows that you run out of needles on the left? Just pick up the 4 sts and move the whole thing back to the right? Thanks! You're the greatest!

[@asdt6645]

Thank you for showing us such an easy way of "mending" the panels together. When it comes to sewing panels together, it is always put on long-term postponement. :-) By the way, can you please show us how to make the honeycomb stitch manually (like on a single-bed machine without the use of punch-cards?) I have an Empisal (Brother) kx395 and I really want to learn how to do the honeycomb stitch, but all the tutorials I've seen makes use of punch-cards and my machine cannot use punch-cards.

[@dianaknits]

Could you send me a picture of the stitch? The Honeycomb Stitch I am thinking of is a ribber stitch, not practical on main bed only, but that name has been used for more than one stitch. If you go to my blog, it's fairly easy to email me. On the left-hand side, there is an envelope icon. The blog is diananatters.blogspot.co.

[@asdt6645]

​@@dianaknits, I've sent it to you. Thank you in advance. I know they aren't very practical, but is there any way to do it or a "cheat" to make it look like honeycomb?

[@dianaknits]

I am putting just one loop of yarn, not a whole stitch, on top of the edge stitch on an edge needle.

[@KrstnaSchroeder]

thats why mine doesnt look right...lol lets do this again now that i know that little tidbit...thanks

[@carlalidoable]

molto bello,peccato che io non capisca la spiegazione non conosco la Inglese,dove potrei trovare le istruzioni? grazie.Carla da Venezia.

[@kellyborges2926]

Que lindeza

[@MECBeads]

Thank you Diana. This is the join for my next project. What edging did you use? I am making lapghans for the Senior's residence, with left over yarns I collected from their craft sessions. Trying to make each one different. They will be given out at Christmas to people who are alone. 10 projects to make after the one I am just finishing up.

[@dianaknits]

Here's the edging that matches it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep_agpqNiN2Yaa8

[@MECBeads]

Thank you, Diana. It is really pretty!!!!!

[@Barb515]

I tried leaving you an email on your Blog, but got a Message that I needed a Password??.

[@melidamontana8774]

grasias Dianita por tu video te llamas igual que mi adorada hija si ouedes mandame mas videos grasias

[@upsidedownshell]

Hi Diana,what kind of machine you got? I git a bond wondering if i can do that in it.?

[@dianaknits]

This was done on a Studio 860. Yes, you could do it with a Bond, but you'd need to be careful to have the latches open before each pass.

[@Freshdeeee]

Diana Sullivan Just see this comment aftter I've posted a question. Thanks :)

[@Freshdeeee]

Hi Diana, I'm keep watching your tutorial and wondering if this tecnique will work on the ultimate sweater knitting machine as well? thanks :)

[@dianaknits]

Yes, if your USM isn't too finicky. You'll have the usual fiddling with open latches and so forth that happens with the USM.

[@MACRY73]

super!

[@mumutun7362]

after i watch this video, i will get back on to use my machine! thanks.

[@MECBeads]

Hi Diana, May I please, have your opinion on the following. I am about to start a QS cabled afghan. Instead of ribbing the first 7 rows, is it OK to seed stitch these rows? Thank you. Mary-Ellen. Happy Easter!!!

[@dianaknits]

Of course! Seed stitch is an excellent edging because it is reversible, stable, pulls in a little, and it's firm. However, you have to have a garter carriage to make it in a practical way on a knitting machine.

[@MECBeads]

Thank you Diana, do not have a garter carriage, will be doing it by hand, stitch by stitch ;)

[@RAE5558]

HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET BUT WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO HAS EVER JOINED HAND CROCHETED YARN FLOWERS TO A PLAIN KNITTED GARMENT AS IT IS BEING CONSTRUCTED? IT COULD BE PRETTY MAYBE TO HANG FLOWER EACH TOP/BOTTOM EDGE ONTO THE PURL SIDE AS YOU MAKE THE ITEM.

[@tobasco2]

Very%20clever%20way%20to%20join.%20Thank%20you

[@biloxipinto62]

i mean your work.

Just email me using Outlook or whatever you use at Diana_knits "at" sbcglobal "dot" net. The "at" is the "at" sign and the "dot" is the period. I can't write my actual email here without picking up more spam...
