Middle of the week.

There is work to be done and coffee to be drunk. I received a few packages this week, so you can be sure there will be some dyeing going on soon — but not tomorrow. Tomorrow is my 4th wedding anniversary. Last year, I thought it would be funny to have Kraft dinner and hotdogs for dinner on our wedding anniversary. Turns out, not so funny. So tomorrow night, we are off to Bishop’s for dinner.

In the meantime, Ivy had this question for me from a couple days ago… What is this cable symbol with the red square around it?

What’s that?

I think it’s like the cable that I’ve been knitting in Knitty’s Trellis baby sweater. So in this case, you’d slip two stitches onto a cable needle and hold in back, then knit the next stitch. Then slip the left stitch from the cable needle to the left needle, knit that stitch. Then knit the last stitch off the cable needle. Let me know if anybody translates it differently.

    You can refer to “Basic stitches” on the left hand column of this website - http://www.tata-tatao.to/knit/e-index.html It explains the basic Japanese knitting symbols.

    Happy anniversary. I belive I would interpret the symbol that way too.

    I’m not sure, but that looks like a stitch from a chart in my silk corset pattern from Annie Modesitt. The explanation is: twist left knit st over right knit st. If you would like an explanation on how to knit this send me and email. Happy Anniversary.

    Happy Anniversary!

    I don’t see from the chart how one can tell whether it’s slip 1 or 2 to the cable needle.

    Happy Anniversary!

    I interpret the symbol as a split cable, just as you do.

    Bishops’ menu looks absolutely divine.

    I think you got the stitches right, except I would add that the second stitch should be knit behind the cable needle.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Have a wonderful dinner out.

    Have a wonderful dinner. We haven’t tried Bishops yet, but I’ve only heard great things about it. A definite step up from ‘dogs and KD’!

what do you think?
