i’ve been trying for around 2 months now, i still cant knit cables!! i’ve watched lots of videos on youtube, bought a book, signed up to this forum and still cant do it!!
im so confused, right, so say if i was knitting 10 stitches, and i wanted to do a 3 by 3 cross over for the cables. so would i:
a) knit the first 2, take 3 off, purl 3, put 3 back on and purl them, then knit 2. so when i come back i would purl 2, knit 6, and purl 2
b) knit the first 2, take 3 off, purl 3, put 3 back on and purl them, then knit 2. so when i come back i would knit 2, purl 6, and knit 2
c) knit first 2, take 3 off, knit the next 3, put 3 back on and purl them, then knit 2. so when i come back i would purl 2, knit 3, purl 3, purl 2
ok im so confused now, if anyone replies to this, could they also tell me what to knit when im coming back aswel, because all the videos only show it going one way. and say “knit the knits and purl the purls”, coz i have no idea what that means, even though i’ve read the sticky thread, im just a failure at knitting… and no technical terms either, coz i wont know them!!
thank you soo sooo much!!!
