The latest news: Learn to Knit Cables on Looms

A new booklet will be hitting the stores in mid December: Learn to Knit Cables on Looms will be available really soon.

This little project booklet kept me busy for a few months this summer/fall and finally I am able to show you some of the projects in there. The booklet (not really a book as it is only 32 pages) was one of my favorite projects to work on. Why? Cables are my love in knitting. Cables remind me of my Abuelita and one of the items in the book: the shawl that is pictured on the front cover reminds me of my Abuelita. She always wore a Reboso (Spanish for shawl) and when I picked out the yarn and the stitch pattern I was thinking about her. When the projects come back to me, I am planning on sending it to her, so it can keep her warm and she can have a little piece of me with her at all times. As you can see, my favorite project from the booklet is the Rebosito :).

The book is available for pre-order at the Decor Accents, Inc website. I will be putting videos online as soon as the booklet is released to the public. The videos will demonstrate the cabling techniques so hopefully they will go great with the booklet.

Other happenings in my life: I am sick. I caught a cold/flu on Wednesday and I have been sick and irritable (my husband's description of me). Last night, I had insomnia and I was only able to sleep for about 2 hours. After tossing and turning for three hours in bed I got up with full intentions of working but I couldn't loom knit at all--my head feels like I have cotton balls inside, yucky!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday!

Get better, Isela! I, too, am just recovering from the cold and so I know how those insomniac nights feel...this time, I tried Nyquil, and it worked! Muchas luz y paz

That book sounds wonderful and I'll be getting it! I have started the Inara scarf, I have knitted 15 repeats so far and it is a fantastic pattern. Your super-detailed instructions make it so easy! I am getting addicted to knitting it!
Take good care of yourself! Hope you feel better soon.

Get feeling better!

Yay!!!
I was talking with a lady at church yesterday about a hat I had that I thought at first might have been loom knitted, and she pointed out that it couldn't have been because there's no way to purl on a loom. I, of course, informed her that you can, indeed, purl, as well as knit lace, cables, this stitch, that stitch, bobbles, etc, and that there's a loom knitting primer available that my friend wrote. She's quite interested in what you have to share, as she thought that the KK looms were best for just making cute hats. She's in for a world of new ideas! ;)

The new booklet looks amazing. Yay for you! I love that your Abuelita inspired you. I always think of my Grandma (passed away) when I wear anything red. That was her favorite color.

I am aorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you feel better soon, so you can enjoy your Mama's Christmas visit!

Huggz!

Isela, that is the rebosito you meant yesterday. It is beautiful. I bet your Abuelita will love it. I already made my pre-order for the book. It is going to be part of my Christmas presents at my daughter's house.

I hope you get better. All your kidos need you well and healthy.

Hugs.
