Looks good. Posted by: Samantha at April 14, 2008 11:01 AMThe cables look great to me! Posted by: MommyknitsJen at April 14, 2008 11:12 AMI wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything! Posted by: Chris at April 14, 2008 12:39 PMDo you mean b/c one set is crossed to the left and the other to the right? I thought it was supposed to be like that so that they mirrored eachother???? Posted by: knittingnurse at April 14, 2008 1:11 PMThis is totally post unrelated but...In case you are not aware of the crafty crow, she has posted a tutorial for what is being called a knitting nancy, spool knitter or what have you. It's a make it yourself version, using popsicle sticks and a toilet roll. Just in case you're teaching that in a knitting class anytime soon, it might be an interesting option. by the way, you knit so much better than me that I think everything you knit looks perfect. I wouldn't have notice if you didn't point it out. Posted by: Kathryn at April 14, 2008 2:03 PMTo my way of looking at it, cables are only crossed the wrong way if one in a column is crossed in a different direction than the rest - say one or 2 use a left cross when all the rest have used a right cross. Those look loely to me. Posted by: Donna at April 14, 2008 3:08 PMThe cables are indeed supposed to cross in opposite directions from each other, but I have them twisting toward each other (toward the button bands) when the pattern actually calls for them to twist away from each other and the button bands. I just read 'em wrong - doh! They are of course perfectly fine, just not "as written". Posted by: ALISON at April 14, 2008 4:49 PMWell, they looked good to me, too. Now I must go bravely and knit cables (lots) on the Aran sweater. HA! Only seven more months to finish it! Posted by: lella at April 14, 2008 6:22 PMLooks great! I love the color and the pattern of this one. That bad boy, Georgie! Posted by: Marianne Wille at April 15, 2008 12:05 AMi love this little cardigan... and when I made it, I forgot to mirror the cables and no one noticed it except for me Posted by: alltangledup at April 15, 2008 8:51 AMi love this little cardigan... and when I made it, I forgot to mirror the cables and no one noticed it except for me Posted by: alltangledup at April 15, 2008 8:51 AMGreat job! Posted by: Niki :) at April 15, 2008 6:16 PMNo, they're not! Your cables are PERFECT! Many people forget to switch the twist on their cable so that they mirror each other but it looks SO much better that way! |
