I am a knitter who likes to relax with my knitting and I’m not sure of the best word to use, lazy is one word but it isn’t lazy. Lazy to me is sitting around and doing nothing while knitting is definitely not lazy. It works the mind on so many levels as well as keeping the hands busy. I guess easy or simple is a term to use…I like to make my knitting as easy and simple as possible. Getting to easy and simple is not always easy and simple (how many times can I use the words easy and simple in one post??)  but once you break that tricky moment and get the other side it is pure magic.

I like to cable without a cable needle so I make sure almost all my cables are possible to do this technique with.
