Aug. 29th, 2015 08:46 pmToday I finished off a couple of WIPs I was doing on knitting spools with rainbow-bands.
Cord: rainbow bands (black, white); spool knit cable twist
Blue and green bracelet; rainbow-bands; spool knit cable twist.
Both of them use a technique I devised, which I'm calling "spool knit cable twist". This is because it uses the simple one-stitch cable - swapping two stitches over - to make a spiral in one colour going up the cord, with the background being the other colour. Of course, one could do the whole thing in one colour, but it wouldn't look so dramatic then.
