Irish Aran Cabled ScarfThis class is step one to achieving your goal of mastering cable knitting. We'll begin the scarf by following row by row directions. Then, when you are comfortable with the basic pattern, Debbie will give you the opportunity to knit the Irish way. Debbie has studied extensively with Rosaleen Hegarty, who manages a group of production knitters in Ireland. This method teaches you to see the flow of your stitches freeing you from row by row directions. Once you learn this method, you’ll be ready to tackle full sweater projects. You’ll also find yourself applying the lessons learned to all your knitting projects.
