I'm confused, with email and cell phones are there enough cables being sent now-a-days for someone to do a cable project? Do you cut your cables into strips before knitting? How do you connect two strips? do you have to use transatlantic cables or will local cables work? Do you get you cables from Western Union or where?

I say this as I am starting a set of Hose adapted from Natalie Bursztyn's Midsummer Nights Dream Socks on Knitty



Vine up the front and a simple rib/calf expansion on the back. I hope I can be finished by the cool weather.


BTW - Tobus, those are great hose, do you know the weight of the yarn? They look worsted?
