Cabling the Cabled Cables

So I have been tagged in the “12 makes challenge” currently floating around on Instagram. I have to complete 12 works in progress or projects all completely from yarn in my stash without buying any more yarn. Lets face it, technically,  I have enough yarn to do considerably more than 12 projects… BUT… it does limit the design process somewhat. In any case I decide to use up some of this russet yarn and have a go at my first written cabled pattern. 1 down, 11 to go. 

I hope you enjoy it!

    Hi Sarah,
    Thanks for getting in touch, there is cabling in section 1 row 13. The scarf is worked in repeating sections so you knit section 1 five times to give you the five small cables. Then you move onto section 2 to give the larger cable before moving back to section 1.
    I hope that helps!

Quick Textured Corner to Corner Blanket

Image
So I managed to escape from work for a week and have a holiday up in the North East of England. I thought I would get a lot of knitting done with all the driving. However, the roads in Durham and Northumberland are not conducive to knitting!! I still managed to get this blanket finished. It knits up really quickly. It took me two evenings to make but if you aren’t exhausted from all day hiking it would probably only take you one. I hope you like it!

When Bad Yarn Happens to Good People…

  I know things have been very quiet the past few weeks. It’s been the start of term and that always means several things at work 1) Everything gets manically busy and there is no time for anything fun. 2) All the students come back and give everyone Freshers Flu. This is never a fun experience and this years delightful viral episode meant that for two whole weeks I felt so awful I didn’t even knit. However, I am back, and I have a new blanket pattern for you all. A not insignificant amount of the delay was due to the yarn I chose to use for this blanket. It seemed like a lovely cranberry with a silvery twist through it in the yarn shop. However, it is truly horrible to knit with it splits, stretches and is impossible to block. The blanket will knit to any gauge (although the size will obviously change) so I highly recommend ignoring this yarn and using something, anything, nicer! Enjoy!

Pick your Yarn.

Image
I still haven’t got round to sorting the stash. My latest project did not turn out as planned because I really should have learnt to pick a yarn which is suitable for my project. I have been religiously stash busting but because I still haven’t organised the stash and I knew that to properly stash shop, I would need to at least begin organising the stash, I decided to work with whatever came out of the cupboard first for my next project. I opened on my door a fraction and several balls of Hayfield Spirit made a bid for freedom by landing on my head. Perfect, I could make a blanket it would be nice and simple. This was an added bonus as I had a cross country trip coming up and I can only knit simple things in the car. If I start anything complex I will begin to feel ill rather quickly.  I decided to make a variation on the log cabin style blanket where I would knit the pieces in scarf size strips and then join them together in decreasing L shapes to make a simple geometric blanket.
