Just a reminder that all the knits I post are my own work. (On the rare occasion that I post someone else’s work, I will say so). Some knits were done years ago and won’t show pattern details. Memes and funnies are definitely made for sharing and were therefore nicked by me before posting 🧶

Finished a couple more Shaun the Sheep squares this afternoon. The hardest part will be deciding which of my grandchildren I will be giving it to!

It’s chilly today, nearly time to get my fave jumper out for the winter. Made around 10 years ago and still going strong

Another new yarn in my local yarn shop. Super/chunky/fluffy/variegated. Not sure I’d ever use it though, but someone will like it

In Hebden Bridge there’s a little yarn library. Take what you want, leave something you don’t need. Ace!

And finally, yet more cables. Why knit something plain when you can play around with a third needle? 😊

Definitely flat. I avoid circular needles whenever possible

I’m not the best by any means…but I try to never have floats over more than 3 stitches.

There’s loads of free patterns for dishcloths and/or squares on Ravelry which have cables. Try a few out to gain confidence and importantly, practice your tension. Honestly, it’s just practice practice practice 😊
