Hello
I can’t decide my next project and keep pondering various options. This is one of many
This sweater has a cable running down the inside of the sleeve. It’s knit in the round.
I’m looking for thoughts as to whether it’s possible to work that cable in a second colour?
The chart for the panel is 9 stitches wide (chart on link above if anyone wants to look) but the actual cable is only 5 wide with purl background. Would it be feasible to carry main colour across (behind) the cable and have a small ball of colour 2 to work the cable stitches?
I’m thinking that the colour 2 yarn gets dropped whilst the rest of the round is worked then floated backwards to the first of the cable stitches, used for the 5 stitch cable, and dropped again? It would have to float 5 stitches backwards.
Is this doable? Or completely ridiculous?
