Unaccustomed to ever using a cable needle for Aran knitting, Edel wasn’t aware of her dexterity around cabling large numbers of stitches until knitting in public in recent years.

Keen to free “cable needle hostages” she took time to break down her method and even make further tweeks to her own technique.

This method is invaluable to any aran or cable knitter from hats to blankets, you will never look back and it needs little practice.
