So this little puppy is finally getting some love again. I broke out the knitting machine and whipped myself up some sleeves. First i had to finesse my pattern a bit and work it out on a grid. I decided to knit it with a cable design going down the sleeve. I used my Hand Manipulated Stitches For Machine Knitters book that I purchased earlier this year and found a beautiful opposing rope cable.
I patterned my sleeve out on a knitters grid in order to mark out all my increases and cable crosses in order to make sure no row counting got messed up. That happens a lot and cables must I say MUST be placed the same amount of rows apart. No one wants wonky cables. Unless you're into that sort of thing, but I'm certain that's exactly the sort of thing that would get you into hot water with one, Mr. Joe McCarthy.
Don't worry fellow knitters. I plan on doing a post on machine knitting cables, please stayed tuned.
