Editorial Review: Product Description: Beautiful, intricate, flowing, mysterious, iconic—cable knit sweaters are all that and more. They are classic, stylish wardrobe staples. For many of us, cables are the main reason we were compelled to learn to knit in the first place. But it’s necessary to be an ultra-advanced knitter to even think about knitting cables, right? Not really. In Cables Untangled, widely published author, knitwear designer, and teacher Melissa Leapman demystifies this perennially popular technique, guiding the reader through the process step by step. Even if you’ve mastered just a few basic knitting techniques, you can turn out beautiful cables too! A comprehensive resource book for knitters of all levels, Cables Untangled features over twenty cabled projects, from simple household items to clothing, fashion accessories, and gifts for virtually everyone on your list. Every project is beautifully photographed and includes useful detail shots of every piece of cabled fabric. In addition to the projects, Cables Untangled includes an invaluable Cable Stitch Dictionary, giving you the tools to be a skilled and creative cable-knitter. Extra resources include: • A guide to using knitting charts and understanding their symbols • A comprehensive stitch library of both traditional and unusual rib, panel, and allover cable stitches, all clearly photographed and accompanied by easy-to-use charts • Tips for designing your own projects Throughout the book, Leapman relies on the techniques she has developed teaching her popular workshops—making the process easy and fun for anyone. Here’s the book that will bring your knitting to a whole new level, help you impress family and friends with your beautiful creations, and open up a new world of creative opportunities. Without a doubt, Cables Untangled is an indispensable resource in helping you conquer—and enjoy!—cables. It’s the ultimate guide for beginners and seasoned knitters alike. Cable knitting at its best : over 20 designs and more than 100 cable stitches Widely published author, designer, and teacher Melissa Leapman includes over twenty beautiful sweater and accessory designs—plus more than 100 cable-stitch patterns—in the definitive cable resource book for beginners and experts alike. With Cables Untangled, even beginning knitters can learn to cable like pros, and those who already consider themselves seasoned cablers will find new avenues for their creativity and skill as they expand their repertoire and learn to design their own cabled creations. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Beautiful Book - Patterns focus on Charts Rather Than K1, P2This is a beautiful book. And, I finally understand how to do cables without cable needles from the two page description in the book. The patterns are lovely, but they may be initimidating to a beginner or someone who does not read charts (like me). It is a whole new language of symbols. I wish they would have put both charted instructions and regular K1, P2 instructions. It may be a little while before I get to learning this. Worth having in your library, if only to look at the beautiful photos. Rating:  - Beautiful Projects, But Not A Great BookI really wanted a cable knitting book, and this one seemed perfect. First off, the projects in this book are lovely, they will make your fingers itch with a desire to start knitting. There is the normal cable knit hat and scarf, a few allover cable pattern sweaters, a rug, an afghan or two (patchwork and panel), a few pillows, and a panel cable v neck sweater vest. All the designs in this book are wearable and usable. If you're looking for project inspiration, this book might work for you. Read More Rating: - LOTS of better Cable books are out there...This book attempts to be a stitch pattern book, project book, and a "how-to" book for cable patterns. The author would have been better off picking one or the other since this book only gives superficial attention to the patterns and techniques. If you want to learn how to do cables, then probably the best book (though harder to find) is Knitting in Plain English or (harder to find) Principles of Knitting). Both "demysitify" how to knit cable patterns -- they really aren't very difficult. ... Read More Rating:  - A definite must!I've been looking at this book for ages and when I finally got the chance to meet the author in person and have her sign a copy I couldn't resist any longer. Ms. Leapmen makes the whole cable process easy, from chart reading to making the garment. As for those disappointed with not having reversible cables or a cardigan, stop and think about the fact that this book is rather large does contain tons of information. You can only put so much in at one time. Thanks Ms. Leapemn for a wonderful addition to my library! Rating: - Fun, beautiful projects, Beautiful book!I love this book. I didn't purchase it on Amazon, however, I plan on purchasing more Melissa Leapman book immediately! I made the pink scarf/hat set as my first project, continued with the easy cable sweater. I also made the afghan with squares (still working on it, I made squares in between projects), the Harvest Tweed Afghan, and the multi-colored pillow. Everything has turned out beautifully. However, one complaint - unless I am reading something wrong, the reversible cable scarf pattern is incorrect. I ... Read More
