There's a mystery involved with cables that may not be as difficult as you think.  Through stranded knitting this class will help you understand the simple way in which cables interact with their neighbors to create a seemingly complicated fabric. We will focus on learning to read a chart as an image and how to predict whether a cable should cross over or cross under in its next move.  In addition you will learn tricks to prevent errors in cable directions, how to prevent the fabric from puckering while stranding, and how to count rows and rounds in cabled fabric.
