One can spend a knitting lifetime exploring the various lovely twists and turns that make up regular cable combinations. Now add color to that mix. One-color cable patterns against a different background color, different color cable strands meandering all over and among one another, striped cables, and bi-color rope cables are some of the combinations covered. You will be amazed at how the same cable pattern can produce very different visual experiences by changing which stitch columns receive color. And discover the fun of experimenting with color placement as you learn how to convert a cable chart into a color cable chart using graph paper and/or a charting program.
