#fiber cables

[vintagelite-uk]

A twisted cable is a specialized type of electrical cable made of two or more insulated wires twisted together to form a single bundle. The twisting helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk in the cable, making it an effective choice for use in high-speed data transmission applications

Interested in cool cable knitting patterns?

I've made a site where you can make your own

I learned to knit a while ago specifically to make cool braid patterns with cable knitting and I'm also a web developer

So I made this

You can make a braid and it will create a cable knitting pattern out of it

It starts with this here, you can change the size with the inputs above and when you hover over crossings you can click and it will change how it crosses (right over left, left over right, or parallel)

Every time you do it updates this pattern down here that you can follow to knit that braid

There are notes and abbreviations listed on the site for the specifics

Please tag me if you make things with this I'm so proud of it :)

hello knitblr?

I am a novice knitter writing a story in which a master knitter is knitting gifts

and I have no grasp of time estimates

initially I was thinking I could have him knitting a project in the background for a month or two and then surprise, it's your Christmas present! But then I looked up reference pics for the sort of hat I was picturing, and one recipe said it could be done in a couple of hours, so he probably wouldn't be working on it for that long.

soooo

then I thought. what if multiple items? Hat, gloves, scarf, maybe even some cozy socks? But would that be too large a project for that time span?

So. Here is my question.

If you were to knit all of those things, all of them with pretty braided cables, how long would it take?

The gloves might be fingered or fingerless, idk.

also they're all in matching yarn, which is soft and warm. (I don't know yarn weights either...)

...also how much measuring would you need? suppose you wanted it to be a surprise, yet fit reasonably well, is that feasible?

A scarf I'm sure is pretty one size fits all, and hats more or less are too, but gloves and socks?

and, related question, how long does a sweater take? This one does not need to fit within any time span, it's more for a "You made this!?" "Yep! Took me [amount of time]" exchange.

Also with braided cables, as it is the appreciation of the sweater that inspires the creation of the other items.

Noticed this mistake on my sweater like 4 rows previous 😭😭

I've been knitting in the car while others drive me around on my holidays so I must have been distracted. It would take me a day at least to go back because this is a knit-in-the-round sweater in large size. So i tried for the first time to correct it "ladder style".

It actually went really well !!

Took me 5 mins and just another pair of needles.

Don't be scared ! Just try it and enjoy never frogging again in your life.

Struggled to find many pokemon blinkies that I liked and I've been having an inordinate amount of fun fixing that :)

[image ids: six blinkies. The first one says "I 💛 wattrel" with a screenshot of wattrel flapping its wings happily on either side of the text. The second says "I fucking love eating fiber optic cables" with a joltik on either side, biting a fiber optic cable. The third says "sneasus christ" and has a Sneasler looking down in shock. The fourth says "fucking purmple" with shiny (purple) wurmples bouncing on either side. The fifth says "nice job!" with a Zoroark collapsed in a heap next to the words. The final blinkie says "the idiot twins" with the Ingo and Emmet plushes to either side of the words. End id]

had a dream Club Penguin came back, but it was invite only and they implemented polls (presumably to make community feedback more fun?) but the answers would mostly come from the most popular write in answers. answers submitted by the official team would have a little ✅. so people would write random shit or confessions on the survey and since there was no or very little screening you'd get polls that looked like:

Cable knit vest!

First time knitting cables! Hated the yarn so I wanted to waste it on a “bad pattern” (one I had no faith I could do well) but I actually love it! Wish the yarn wasn’t so itchy 😔😔💔
