Thank you so much for this tutorial. What brand of cable needle are you using?
They’re called Addi Cablestitch cable needles.
Thank you so much! I am going to buy some immediately.
this week’s lessons announce a Saturday class. That was LAST Saturday, wasn’t it? I was out of town and didn’t get to do it. I thought maybe you were doing it again —wishful thinking???
We’ll open up registration tomorrow for a class on Friday.
