and by that I mean a couple of requests, but it’s just WAY more fun to say by popular demand, I give you the cabled straps of the crazy new ChicKami:
It was exceedingly difficult to get a photo of those! The yarn doesn’t do much for cables, I have to admit. Or cables don’t do much for the yarn, whatever. Basically, I narrowed the wide straps to 10 stitches (because of my larger gauge in the Bernat Denim Style yarn), and worked them k2, p1, k4 (with a 2X2 cable every six rows), p1, k2.
The waist cable below was p2 k6 (3X3 cable every six rows) p2, with k4 on either side, all the way around. I did no side shaping, since the cable does that for you. Couldn’t be easier to adjust Bonne (I got the spelling right for once! How could I not have noticed?) Marie’s excellent pattern.
I ask for it here, it comes out there…I love it! I think the cables look beautiful. I have developed quite the desire for cabling, a total texture fiend. Soon I will have to start a sweater or five.
Way, way, way cool! What a great idea. I totally love it and the cables at the bottom. I’ll have to be swiping now for that next summer. BOOKMARK! 😉
Thanks Rachael for posting yer pic! The yarn you used is lovely… and the cables DO show up very nicely.
Ohhh, that cable looks way nice on Chickami! What a great idea, love that yarn color too!
