Gorgeous! I LOVE cables!
ReplyDeleteOmg now that was a challenge, but it was really fun, i have never ever crocheted cable b4, but it was a nice experience.. It makes a lovely square.. Tg i learned the english crochet terms.. Ty Carolyn for this CAL..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction! I was just crocheting the square and noticed the errors, so came back to the computer to see if you corrected it. Sure enough! This one has to be the best one so far. Those cables really are cool.
ReplyDeleteFinally caught up! But going out of town for work again today! Having a great time with this, and very pleased with the results! And what a nice group of bloggers to be sharing this with!
ReplyDeleteI am still behind. I am only in square 7 right now but I had a question. Is anyone else's squares different sizes? I'm getting frustrated because my squares are turning out to be a little bit different in size. Did this happen to anyone else?And will it get fixed when I get to do the border? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteErm, is it me, or is there also an error in row 1? There seems to be a last shell missing.
ReplyDeleteYes, I noticed it, too, but that's not what's wrong. I think it's just that the ** is in the wrong place. We've made so many of these already with similar instructions that this one was easy to see where we needed to continue to and stop.
ReplyDeleteThe cables were fun. They were a new experience. I like the results.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the errors but was able to make appropriate adjustments.
I had the same hiccup with row 1. Escaped me to reconsider the **. Thanks Deb.
ReplyDeletevery interesting to make cables in crochet.
ReplyDeleteI am working on this square now and i am finding it the hardest one so far. It is challenging but I have worked cables before so I am getting it but it is not the fastest square in the bunch.
