Yes, you read correctly… times 8. For any non-knitters, the term “rip” or “frogging” is used whenever you unravel something you’ve knitted. It’s often called “frogging” because you ‘rip-it, rip-it’… and if you pull quickly enough, the stitches coming apart make little pop-pop-pop sounds like ribbits.
My personal ball-winder hard at work!
Shield the little-one’s eyes — my naked hot water bottle!
And attempt number 8 (At least I think its number 8… I kind of lost count). It seems like every time I get to this point, I find something wrong and have to frog it.
Question For The Knitters: Regarding Cables
Do you ever have this little ‘gap’ when you cross the cable over? It’s not a proper hole, but it’s a gap where the furthest stitch left stretches to it’s new position, and the middle stitch coming over doesn’t have anything holding it in the previous row.
Do visuals help?

Your cables look fine to me. All I’m seeing is the normal gap caused by bringing one set of stitches over the other set. All cables have them.

Yup, My cables too. I”m in the habit of giving a good tug to the stitches after the cross to help that, and after you get your work of the needles, som gentle shaping will take care of some of it as well. :)

That poor pretty yarn, it will be something someday…
As for the little gaps don’t worry about it, a little blocking and it won’t be there. I use a dpn many sizes smaller than my knitting to cable and find this also helps elevate this issue. That CPH had a lot of cables in it, so I got lots of practice lately!
Good luck! :-D
