We revisit the topic of cables in knitting, exploring their magical and symbolic significance!

We discussed the various types of cables and their historical origins, such as the fisherman's knit sweater from the Isle of Arran. Katie explains the technique of cable knitting, emphasizing its accessibility despite initial intimidation.

Katie and Jim delve into the symbolism behind different cable patterns, including the basic braid, Honeycomb, Horseshoe, XO, Celtic Cable Heart, and animal-shaped cables like owls and bunnies.
