Hi

I have been looking at different ways to knit the diagonal stitch, The walker treasury has this one.

Is this difficult to do.

Many Thanks

Hi Junie,

I am sorry I couldn't help you earlier. I had a little issue that prevented me to be in the web. It is 12:38 a.m. where I live. I didn't want you to leave you unattended. There is a video where Eunny teaches how to handle the travelling stitches, the diagonals, as you call them. But it will be until tomorrow afternoon. It is very late for me. I'll have to get up in four hours. But it is a promise I'll look for it tomorrow and post it here for you.

Good dreams!!!

Hi Merlich

It is ok I was not asking for help, You have helped when you gave the link to the other pattern.

I was just researching the diagonals.

It is 8.36 am here, Not sure where you are.

Hi Junie,

Oh! I've just read your reply from above. Well, I've spent such a lot of time looking for the video for you that it would be a waste if I don't post it. It will help you a lot. Not only for cables but any stitch pattern you want to shape diagonal.

By the way, I am in the time zone UTC -6.

Enjoy your knitting!!
