More ideas

  • Spinning newspaper yarn from packing paper and knitting (crocheting?) a bowl for knitting utensils or something similar
  • Knitting a pair of fingerless gloves in plain ribbing and decorate the edges with leftover Astrakan or Uno

Mock Cable ... or too many ideas

A few days ago I googled for "mock cable". Here's the first video I found. I really liked the pattern it produced, so I started to knit some fingerless gloves - using a band of two mock cables as the top, then picking up stitches at the side to make the actual glove. It  turned out a bit to tight, so I frogged it.

However, I think that this stitch produces a lovely pattern. So I started another pair but only with mock cable ribbing. I quite like it, and I definitely will pursue the "cable band at the top" idea later.

As to the name of the stitch ("mock cable"), I'm not sure whether it is really correct - since the stitches are really twisted, I guess it's more of a mini cable than a mock one.


Some more googling produced this video where this is done differently.  I will try that also ... sometime.
