I made the Irish hiking knit hat, I liked the cable on that project, with the ribbing. So when I went to find a pattern for a sweater with this cable pattern I found one in the a Vogue knitting book. On its pattern page it stated it used a sport weight yarn. I wanted to use a worsted weight, so I didn’t bother to find the book. I did some measurements of myself and made a couple of swatches (I wanted to make the cable extra twisty) and came up with this sweater. I love how it fits!
The results of moving from a mainly analogue phone system to a digital one. These are the cables we no longer need for patching in the server room.
Factory built in around 1912 for local man Harold W. Smith, specialising in cables and cabling for the mining industry. One of only four works in the country that could produce braided electrical cables at the outbreak of the First World War, as a result was awarded contracts from the Ministry of War producing parts for the 'D mk III' field telephone.
The workforce grew from 40 [1912] to 650 as well as works operating on a double shift pattern for the duration of the war. By 1918, 15,000 miles of electrical cable had been produced.
Post war slump resulted in the 'H. W. Smith & Co' works going into administration. Works bought by 'Edison Swan Electric Co' [later 'Associated Electrical Company' and Siemens] to produce power lines cabling.
During the Second World War, the works had [again!] one of the four machines in the country able to produce lead tubes. These tubes were used in the construction of 'PLUTO' 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil' / 'Pipe-Lines Under the Ocean' which were fuel lines between the Isle of Wight and France to support the invasion of Normandy, 'Operation Overlord'.
The cable works closed in 1966 and was bought by a paper & cardboard company 'Reed Paper Group' who manufactured packaging.
The factory closed in the mid-1990s.

This was waiting for me when I got home. I didn't realize the wires would be so interesting until I looked at the pictures on the computer
The UART crossover cable is a 6-inch, 6-pin crossover cable that connects newer UART-interface Pmods (PmodBT) to older microcontroller boards (Cerebot 2, Cerebot 32MX4, etc.). The UART crossover cable also connects older UART-interface Pmods (PmodCLS, PmodRS232, etc.) to newer microcontroller boards.

Yet more cables and such as seen from my apartment window. I quite liked the composition this made on camera so I thought it was worth a shot :)
This is my progress on the cover pattern from Vogue Knitting, the Cabled Bolero. I bought the yarn from Elann last week; it's Louisa Harding Kashmir Aran. I've always loved this yarn and when it was 4 bucks a ball I couldn't pass it up. I already have 5 pentagons finished. The project is going quickly and it's fun. I've memorized the stitch pattern already so it's going pretty quickly now.
In this photo you can see the join between pentagons, where you pick up the stitches to make the next pentagon. At first it took me a few tries to make it perfect. The problem is that you can tell if you fudge the picked up stitches because the stitch pattern continues from pentagon to pentagon. I made up for this by picking up the stitches into the second row of stitches rather than the first cast on row. It's still not 100% seamless looking, but in my opinion it looks better than the picture on the cover of the magazine.
"Finished" product - I say this because as you can see, one of the techflex jackets is still w/o heatshrink, which I promptly took care of.
I've been working off and on with this scarf since September, I thought it would never end! I still have enough matching yarn for a hat and wristwarmers. Maybe I'll finish those by Christmas.
I have been in love with making cables lately. I was really scared to try my hand at knitting cables so I put it off for a long time. Then I tried it. Now I LOVE cables. They are so much fun and I've been making anything with cables that I can. This is a red wool and nylon blend yarn. It has a really soft touch. I love the name of the pattern too; Hermione Hearts Ron. :)
