It is truly an innovative approach to cables and one that will have you drooling with the possibilities.Meghan first introduces you to this new way of thinking about cables, and then teaches you how to work the cables, how to interpret her charts and patterns, and also gives 19 patterns for sweaters, wraps, socks, and more using her inventive cables.
