Fixing a cable

A zig instead of zag on a cable on the back of Tulgey Wood, my Custom Fit sweater (Acorn Trail, by Amy Herzog)...darn!  Rather than frog and rework four full rows there is a better way to fix the pesky cable.  I worked to the section with the cable section, and undid four rows of the cable.  Notice that I kept the two purl stitches intact and fixed only the cable.  I did not think to take photos until after I undid the cable, hence no photo of the mistake.  It was a bit awkward to take photos with my phone.  

The four rows of yarn lined up.  The correction will be started from the bottom strand to the top strand.  It is easier for me to fix on the right side of the knitting.   

Corrected cable on the right side.

Knitting on the right side with the next to last strand.

Purling with the last strand.

Back on track!

Ooo-ahh, cables!

The color's not accurate, but the photo shows off the back cable texture. I fought off the knitting demons over the weekend and now making progress toward the upcoming split. At first I didn't like KTBL for the cables, but it makes the detail pop out as the work progresses. Sometimes you have to trust the process. That means practicing what I preach to my students.
After a nice weekend, we have snow again. I'd like to stay home today and just keep purging the basement and my office, but I have class today. The spinning fiber is down to four under-the-bed tubs and the yarn stash is in four tubs (of course this doesn't include the small dresser, two small cedar chests, knitting bags and antique suitcase. Most of the yarn is leftover from other projects or handspun, and only one tub has actual fiber for larger projects. The knitting side is in good shape, now for the art side (that includes the closet). I've been working on the basement, too. The tubs are now in the corner and I moved the dresser closer to the door. I can feel it today! Time to get back to work!
