Does anyone know how to cable a circle?
I've seen Eunny's notes on unventing cables and the girl from auntie's notes on closed loop cabling, but neither tells me what I want to know - how to make a circle, either a single line, or a cable in a circle, kind of like a laurel wreath. Does that mean it's impossible, or just tricky?
Any thoughts?

About a million years ago, in maybe the early 90s, there was a sweater in a Vogue Knitting with cabled circles. My copy is in a box in the basement of my Toronto house... I think they were more () shaped, not really round, probably had pointy bottoms and tops... Not much help, eh?
Well it might be worth a look if I can track down a copy. Thanks.
There are some little circles in Barbara Walker's third book (Charted Knitting Designs). They are quite round.
A laurel-wreath type design would probably be doable, just a bit tricky, and would NOT be a perfect circle.
Unless you were willing to knit the cable separately and sew it on, in which case you could do something with a cabled strip bent via short rows into a circle (sort of like the collar of Eris.)
Thanks Eunny, that's how I thought it would work. I think I'll just have to try it out.
