Cable Crochet

I don't know about you, but I don't like to knit.  I'm rather fond of the little hook to help keep the yarn on the needle, I still haven't figured out how to start the knit - stick me in the middle of a project and I'm fine, but the beginning? forget it - and purling is of the devil.  Not my thing.  Sadly, I've been cursed with a deep love for cable knit things however.  I just think the pattern/look is absolutely beautiful, I've even tried to knit it before but it turned out disastrous.  And then Pinterest happened.  I found a pattern to CROCHET a cable pattern!!  It's just as beautiful and super easy to do.  The only thing that I didn't like about this tutorial is that it doesn't explain how to crochet around a post, so let me try to briefly explain. She does have some pictures at the end but they're not very clear as far as how to do that.  It's easiest on a double crochet because you have more room to work with (but I suppose in theory you could do it with a hdc as well).  Basically, the double crochet itself is a "post", so a "front post double crochet" (fpdc) would mean that you stick your needle through the pattern on the right side of the post and back up on the left side and bring your yarn through there to do another double crochet.  This is opposed to going through the top of the double crochet.  It also has you doing a "back post double crochet" (bpdc) and you would do the same thing but from the back side: push your needle up on the right side of the post from the back and down again on the left side to bring your yarn through for the double crochet.  The only other thing it doesn't explain (which, granted, is far easier) is a triple crochet (sometimes called a treble crochet): yarn over twice before you go through the top of a stitch, but you still only pull through 2 loops at a time, meaning you will do it 3 times, thus it's called a triple crochet.  I'm going to try and figure out how to expand the tutorial I found to have 2 smaller cables on either side of the middle one but so the twists are off set, I think that would look super pretty!  When I get it figured out I'll sit down and take pictures so I can get a tutorial on here for you all :)  Until next time! :)
