Slipped cablesEntry/Object ID
2020.1.205Description
From the book: "The slip-stitch method of making cables is a useful one, and yields several pretty cable effects that cannot be obtained by alternate methods. Simple Slipped Cables resemble twisted Mock Cables but are a little neater and flatter. In all Slipped Cables the left twist is worked by dropping a stitch, knitting the stitches beyond, and then picking up the dropped stitch; the right twist is worked by skipping stitches temporarily in order to release and drop the crossing stitch, then proceeding in reverse order."Collection

Joyce taught herself to knit when she was 12 years old. She knit off and on again for her adult life until returning to fervent knitting in her retirement years. She normally has up to four projects on the go at any given time and enjoys advancing her techniques and learning new skills. Her favorite items to knit are those that are requested by family members. Joyce believes that you never need to be bored if you can knit.Lexicon
