I thought I would attempt to knit a really cute sweater, Mariah, that I found on Knitty.com. I've successfully knitted a few items from this site and I thought I was ready to tackle this project, but I've never knitted from a cable chart before. My first couple of tries didn't go very well. I had a hard time keeping track of which line I was knitting on the chart.
I decided to make a guide by using two pieces of card stock. I cut a small slit in the top piece and taped the two pieces together. I use it to highlight the line I'm knitting, sliding up as I complete a line.
I also wrote pattern notes on top of the guide, so I wouldn't have to keep referring back to the original pattern.
