Cables 101

Cables look like raised columns twisting around each other, criss-crossing, or meandering across knitted fabric. 

Learn from Wendy, pictured in the blue sweater. She is a true cable guru! (She is pictured here wearing Sellino Pullover by Irina Anikeeva.)

In this class, you will learn: how to create cables, how to read charts to avoid having to refer to the key/legend, and how to read your cabled knitting. Wendy has lots of helpful tips for beginners.

Date: Saturday, March 14 from 11 AM - 1 PM
