First time knitting cables!

Knitting 🧶
1

Hi! It’s been awhile since my last post, as usual lol, today I just wanted to show off my first time ever knitting cables! I didn’t have cable needles and while I did have double points needles I decided to use what was right next to me, a crochet hook to hold the loops lol, it actually worked well, I used the hook part to catch the loops and the flat end to knit the loops! I did make mistakes but overall for my first time it came out great! I think the chunky yarn also helped as well :smile:

For those interested here’s the link to the YouTube Tutorial for this knit cable pillow cover :grin:

Have you ever attempted cables? Want to show off something new you’ve tried/made, knit or not? Feel free to share! If you have other suggestions of knit stitches let me know! I’m always happy to try new techniques and I’m curious what else I’m missing :grin:

That’s all, I hope everyone is staying safe and well, until next time :smile:

That looks so good! I’ve used all kinds of strange things to hold my cable stitches while they were waiting to be worked, a crochet hook is by far not the strangest thing I’ve heard of! Great start to cable work.
