If there's one design feature that is quintessentially knitting, it's got to be cables! Chonky ones, intricate ones, symmetrical ones or weird ones, almost every knitter has tried them and found out the biggest secret of our craft: cables are a lot easier than they look ๐Ÿคซ

For once, I know exactly which project to post for this one. Just have to actually take proper photos, approximately eleven years after finishing the knitting part.

Cables are so squishy and fun, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has to show!


Anyway. Normally I announce a winner of the previous month but "winner" might not apply this time around!

Congratulations @kurobita@feddit.cl on the dubious honour of having the most highly upvoted knitting fail ๐Ÿ˜‚

Very much appreciate everyone who shared, and it just goes to show crafting doesn't always go to plan.


Ok, off with you. Go find your cable-est thing to show us!

(I need to come up with some new themes before next month so if anyone wants to make a suggestion, do feel free)

Aw man, I've been super MIA from here and I just noticed my awful cowl on the sidebar, yay me! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I want to propose showcasing types of yarn. Like, variegated yarn, self-striping yarn, something along those lines since we're running out of actual techniques lol.

I think I did have some of those in the list originally but then worried they might be too niche! Common things like self striping could definitely work though, or specific fibres or weights. Will stick them in the rotation and see! ๐Ÿ˜„
