Learning to do cable

Evening all! Hope you have had a good day. I have been at work all day but it has been fine - I feel like I am starting to settle in. It is hard work but at least I am getting some pennies to put in the pot! Got to be good!

I have been learning to knit over the last year and last week I did a class where I learned to do cabling - what a fab technique - and so simple really! I made a tissue holder - here it is ....in progress ...


And the finished article....

  

I am pleased with this! 

Hope you have had a good Monday - looking forward to Cold Feet tonight ...its like having old friends around!

Big hugs

Rachel xx

  1. This is brilliant Rachel, I haven't done any knitting for years, perhaps I ought to get the needles out and give it a go!

  2. Wow Rachel, your knitting is so neat and I just love the tissue holder. I love knitting but I have never quite got the hang of cable... sadly! Hugs, Anne xx

  3. Beautiful Rachel, I got my knitting needles out when my grandson was expected 4 years ago. I hadn't touched a pair of knitting needles for years before that.
