Cables confuse me. I have watched YouTube tutorials and followed them step-by-step, but mine never come out right. I can do simple cables where you would ch 3, skip 2 stitches, sc into the next st, turn and sc in each of the 3 chains, then turn again and sc into the 2 skipped sc, leaving the ch 3 cable in the front of your work.... but I want to be able to do the "challenging" cables, the ones that look like the criss-cross etc.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am sure we have some members who have done these...I have not as of yet. So, looking forward to hearing from others on your question. Please be patient for responses...
I hope so. Cables are the only thing that I have tried that I have not been able to do so far. And I'm a crocheting mommy, patience is my middle name lolQuote:

One thing I learned years ago from a woman who had been crocheting 'forever' and that was...follow the directions exactly as they are written, even if you think the author is crazy and the pattern would never work as written. Good Luck and have fun with your cables. YOU WILL SUCCEED!!!!
