Cabling is Cool

[jumpuphigh]

I started my first cabling project last night.  It is so very cool.  I'm going to want to cable everything for a while.  The project is cabled baby socks and I am using an organic, undyed, cotton yarn. 

Cabling!  It's my new thing.

(Your link to the socks is actually a YouTube clip of Colin Morgan on Catherine Tate. Which was great for a morning giggle, so thank you! :D)

That's hilarious. Thanks for letting me know. I've fixed it now. :D

ETA: Here is the clip if anyone else wants to watch it.

I'm loving it!

*grin* It's really quite thrilling, isn't it?

PLUS socks! For a baby! The cuteness may kill me.

Noooo, don't die :O (On the other hand, knitting may be a good way to go *G*)

Also, now that I see the socks -- so cute *___*

See! The cuteness is contagious. We'll all go happy though.

So cute, and a great first cable project.

I really, really like Debbie Bliss' baby designs. I've used them for the offspring of two friends now, and they've been always warmly received.

Are you planning to dye them yourself later, or just leaving them plain? They look comfy!

It is very fun. And makes for very warm garments, too.

I love cables. I think my first cabled project was Fetching and I never looked back.

I was looking at that kimono last night as well. It is so cute! I love it in red and black.

So far, I am liking this pattern. It's the first one out of the book that I've done. It was funny last night when I was deciding what to knit as one of my friends who I knit with was here and we were exclaiming over ever single item in the book. Debbie Bliss' designs are wonderful!

I think I'm going to leave them plain. The colors of natural cotton are really rich and varied and I'm using one that is like very light coffee. Plus, the momma I'm planning on giving these to is fairly granola and I know that she'll appreciate them being undyed. However, I did think about doing a koolaid dye for a while.

I'm going to be searching out cabling patterns now.

I've seen those before. They are so cute.
