• We cover hand knitting, machine knitting, and crochet.
• Each week you'll be receiving new tips and techniques.
• Daily, you'll be receiving a knitting message board digest with the latest knitting pictures, discussions and patterns.
• If you ever have a question or need help, you can always ask, and we'll cover your question in the following newsletter issue.
• Discover the fastest way to knit (and to crochet) a sock... while keeping the perfect heel and making sure the sock fits (not many knitters know this).
• Find out how to figure out how much yarn you need for a pattern if the pattern doesn't specify it (works for any project, a real life-saver sometimes).
• Learn how to pick up a dropped stitch, even from several rows below. It happens to absolutely everyone at some point. But don't worry, there exists a really simple fix.
• And if you ever run out of yarn, find out how to join any yarn in the middle of any project.
• If you can't find the pattern that you need, or if you don't know which pattern would be most appropriate for a specific project, then you can ask our other users to help you figure it out. We even have a dedicated "Pattern Requests" section on our website that's all about finding new patterns.
• The same goes for any problems and questions about specific techniques. We have experienced users who are always helping those in need with just the right advice.
• And of course, as I said it's all completely FREE!
• Let me repeat that. Since for some reason a lot of people contact us asking if the membership is really free: we are a social website for knitters and crocheters, so we don't sell anything, and we don't charge any fees. It's as simple as that.

is how to put the correct stitches on the double pointed needles in order to get the cable section even so I will
not be splitting it up on different needles. It was posted
by andytmo7. It says to cast on 52 stitches, join in round.
I'd like to make 3 sets of this pattern and time is limited to make them for Christmas. Any help would be appreciated.

In stead of knitting in the round on dpn's try using one long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique...that way you could arrange the stitches on the loop in a manner that would allow you to have your cable stitches all on one or the other needle.

Does this give you enough info to define the cable stitches?
Thanks I'll go there
If they are split between 2 needles, just slip those stitches onto one of the needles.
It will not affect the knitting.

That is only part of the cable pattern... the part where you do the cable 6 stitches to the back....which is done by placing 3 stitches on a cable needle (a DPN can be substituted for cable needle) move those stitches on the needle to the back of your work, knit the next three stitches...then knit the three stitches form the cable needle (or DPN). then follow the rest of the pattern until you reach the next c6b. Several rows further along you will be directed to do a c6f which is worked in a similar manner...except instead of placing the first 3 stitches (on the cable needle) to the back of the work, you will move them to the front of the work, knit the next three stitches then knit the three from the cable needle.

how do you knit cables w/o moving stitches?
