The first cabled design that caught my eye in the GAL bundle was this one, Entrelacement by Francoise Danoy. It is a crescent-shaped scarf worked in DK weight yarn, starting from the gorgeous cabled border from which stitches are then picked up to make the body, shaped with short rows. Very nice design!
Today's fabric characteristic of choice is cables. Whether they are delicate lace cables or big chunky ones, simple cable crosses or complex celtic knots, there's a cable for everyone. The first cabled design that caught my eye in the GAL bundle was this one, Entrelacement by Francoise Danoy. It is a crescent-shaped scarf worked in DK weight yarn, starting from the gorgeous cabled border from which stitches are then picked up to make the body, shaped with short rows. Very nice design! With a similar construction but a completely different look is this lighter weight shawl, Submersible, by Emily Wood.The use of one large cable with a lacy edging makes for a more delicate piece. For those who prefer their cables chunky, you can't get much chunkier than this Iced Experiment cowl by Janelle Martin! How cosy does this look?! Alternatively, at the other end of the scale is the simple classic single cable on this Lakeside Shawl by Martha Wissing, worked in lace weight yarn. And for those who like to really get their teeth into a cabled knit, how about this simply stunning cabled cardigan, Tapestry by Carol Sunday.
