Aug 12 An excellent starter book for those looking to jump into the
world of advanced knitting and also challenging for those already
there. The book begins with a great starter shrug which is worked
as a rectangle so you can concentrate on practicing cable without
any distracting shaping. Although if you are a complete beginner
there are a few scarves to practice with too. There are four
projects classed as 'easy', four classed as 'intermediate' and two
'experienced' projects. The jackets are the hardest projects but if
you are a cable virgin they will still serve to inspire you to
practice. They've included a total of six information pages which
is more than you get in some other knitting books. There are two
pages on how to cable which you could pair up with a YouTube video.
Also included are abbreviations and symbols, the yarn weight
system, inches into millimetres and centimetres, increasing and
decreasing, kitchener stitch and the provisional cast-on method. If
you have experience knitting in the round on multiple needles you
won't find it hard at all. My only criticism is that half the
projects are scarves or cowls. There are many accessories which
take cables, for example one would be straight cabled armwarmers.
Cushions are always good too. But if you are a complete beginner
you will welcome the proliferation of scarves as easy projects.
I've knitted a cabled scarf in chunky wool and it was
beautiful.
