COMMENT: Yes, I think you should do one video showing the cabled circle in one color, and then in two colors. These tutorials are an absolute treasure!!! I can't thank you enough Suzanne!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Definitely something to consider, thank you, Carol! I appreciate your feedback! 😊

I just joined the adventure. I will knit this pillow for my friend Denyse's birthday, I had the percfect fiber in stash, so I am fulfilling my objectives for 2022, learn new things (antarcia) and stash busting ! 👋 👋 👋

[@SuzanneBryan]

Welcome to the adventure, Nicole! Denyse is going to love and treasure your beautiful pillow!

I always love all your videos. I learn so much. And being a visual person reading the material is much easier after I see someone's hands actually do the work and also actually seeing the knitted fabric. AND I have wanted to learn to make my own designs with the cables appearing in the middle of the fabric so this fills in my missing pieces! Thank you!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

I'm so glad. to hear this, Margaret! I'm sure you'll create a beautiful fabric. 😊

Thankyou! Master class as usual! Thanks for a great pattern! Swatching and trying to get the right yarn to knit with.. .can't wait to get started!

[@SuzanneBryan]

That's wonderful, Ikogirl! I used a worsted weight or 4 yarn for this. Please let me know how your pillow turns out. 😊

[@marianneknapp4846]

#5 yes ❤

Hi Suzanne! As usual wonderful tutorial by the knitting scientist! The KOLAM pattern is similar to the Indian geometrical and symmetrical traditional line drawing that goes by the same name. Please acknowledge the same. Thanks for imparting your knowledge to us. Love

[@SuzanneBryan]

Yes, that is what I named this pillow after. Thank you.

[@jomcginty1870]

Hi, Suzanne. Given what you said about wool feeling dry when it still holds 30% moisture, How do you tell that a swatch is indeed dry enough to measure?

[@SuzanneBryan]

The ultimate test would be weight. Weigh the swatch before getting it wet and then weigh it when you think it is dry.

[@jomcginty1870]

@@SuzanneBryan Clever! Thank you.
