You all know how much I love to cables; in fact I just bought a pattern yesterday for a simple cable pullover. I was looking at the pattern and I thought about changing the cable, so I picked up Lily Chin's recent book, Power Cables , to get some ideas. The cable in the pattern is a horseshoe cable...
Back in January, I did a the first installment of Crazy for Cast-Ons , where I demonstrated the Old Norwegian Cast-On. Today we're going to focus on the cable cast-on and provisional cast-ons, with some wonderful tips from Jennifer Seiffert, author of the fabulous Fearless Knitting Workbook and Interweave...
A note from Kathleen: It's been quite a decade for us here at Interweave.

We'd rip that box open practically before the UPS guy could hand it over; we knew what was in it--the new issue of Interweave Knits ! Here I am an Interweave employee...
Red Scarf Project Connections Scarf (Try saying THAT title three times fast!) It's true that the Connections Scarf I designed for the Red Scarf Project was my first cable-knitting project ever. I've managed to avoid cables until now, thinking that wrangling the cable needle was just too much...
