Knitting advice
Jan. 31st, 2007 08:46 amI'm doing my first project (a hat) that involves cabling. I picked up a cable needle and practiced using the pattern in the first Stitch and Bitch book, and it seems fairly simple.
What I'm having an issue with is figuring out what my pattern means, because its different than the sample pattern (the hat I'm making is the cabled newsboy cap from Stitch and Bitch Nation):
Rnds 1-3: *P2, k9, p2, k6; rep from * to end
Rnd 4: P2, k9, p2, c6b; rep from * to end
I know that the c6b is the cable part. Do I P2, k9, slide 6 to the cable needle, p2, knit the 6 on the cable needle and then continue (k9, p2, cable again)?
Any help anyone could provide would be awesome. I've been meaning to ask the expert (my Mom) but I won't see her till Sunday and I know I'll get to the cable part before then. Thanks in advance!
Related, I need a knitting icon! :)
