It’s certainly not good for my weight loss efforts, but I confess that I have a bit of an obsession with all things Nutella. These yummy Nutella pancake kabobs look like the perfect thing to serve the morning after a sleepover party. Fresh fruit, Nutella, and tiny pancakes make for a winning combination, especially when they’re in such a convenient snackable form! Visit Tablespoon.com for the recipe.

Hey there, fellow pancake lovers! So, I first shared this Strawberry Banana and Nutella Pancake Kabob recipe a while back, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much of a hit it’s been in our house. Seriously, it’s been a go-to favorite for sleepovers, and my kids—now teens—still ask for it when they’re having friends over. It’s one of those recipes that somehow always feels like a treat, but it’s super easy to whip up (and you know how much I love anything that’s simple but still feels like a little bit of magic in the kitchen).

Honestly, since writing this article, I’ve made these kabobs so many times that I’ve pretty much got the recipe down to a science. They’re quick to assemble, fun to eat, and packed with all the flavors you could want in a bite-sized snack. The Nutella, the fresh fruit, and those soft pancakes come together in a way that’s so satisfying. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out—whether you’re hosting a sleepover, need a party snack, or just want something fun to make with the kiddos, this one’s a winner every time.

Stitch dictionaries are a fun way to learn new-to-you knitting stitch patterns or to take a deep dive into a particular technique. Debbie Tomkies offers 100 cable stitch designs and thoughts on how to incorporate them into projects in her Cable Knitting Stitch Dictionary.

Each stitch pattern is shown in a large swatch photo and with written and charted instructions. Any special stitches are included on the page. The stitches are rated on a difficulty scale of 1 to 3, and the pattern notes also indicate how many extra stitches you should add to a project if you’re going to work this cable (since cables pull the fabric closer together you need to compensate for that) as well as how many stitches and rows are in the repeat if you want to design a project yourself.

The cables are arranged into sections: classic cables, combinations, all-over panels, creative cables, motifs and panels and cabled edges and borders.

It’s fun to flip through the designs to think about projects you can add a single cable or two to or make with an allover cabled design. Or you could make swatches of different cables and sew them together into a pillow cover or a throw.

At the back of the book there’s a section on general cable knitting techniques, reading charts, working swatches and avoiding errors (though it mentions working the wrong number of rows between cable turns, it doesn’t share how to count rows between cables to avoid this mistake).

It also talks about how to design your own cables, combine cables in a project, choose the right yarn and needles and determine how many more stitches you need to cast on when working cables instead of stockinette stitch. There’s also a glossary of symbols and abbreviations you may find in cable knitting and other patterns.

The book provides a good overview of things you can do with cables, as well as some fun things you might not have tried like infinity cables and horizontal cables. It’s a great book for a designer who likes to work with cables or a knitter who wants to play with different stitches in their projects.

About the book: 176 pages, paperback, 100 stitch patterns. Published 2024 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $26.99.
