Design Corner #1

Designing is a fun, yet hard thing to do. I love the feel when you finish a design and can call it yours. This is one of the main reasons that I wanted to start this part of my blog. Today's design tip will be: Cables!

Cables are such a good thing to use when designing a hat or anything. They add Character to the design and warmth to the fabric. When using cables, make sure that you add ease into the design, because cables will pull the fabric together.  Cables are also a good alternative for ribbing. If you use it for ribbing it adds the looks to the rib, but still has the stretchy-ness of a normal 2by2 rib. Consider using cables on the edges of shawls, blankets, and anything flat, because it does not allow the fabric to curl.

Well that was my quick thought that I wanted to share with you, Thanks for reading!
