Knitting sample photos?

[asterroc]

I'm looking for photos that show what the result will be if I do various simple patterns, such as

* K rows only (which should be the same as only P rows)
* K rows alternating with P rows
* K1P1 repeat, flip, K1P1 repeat
* K1P1 repeat, flip, P1K1 repeat

And how do I get cables that go straight up something? I don't mean like braiding, just unbraided cables?

Basically, I've got K and P down now, and I want to make a scarf that doesn't look totally messy (edit: or boring), so I want to know what these different patterns will get me. I guess I could do like three inches of each and have a bizarre scarf like that.

Stupid question time!  Do you have an image or idea of an unbraided cable?

1) K rows only == garter stitch.

2) K 1 row, P 1 row == stockinette.

3) K1P1 1 row, K1P1 1 row == ribbing.  (That picture is stockinette leading to ribbing.)

4) K1P1 1 row, P1K1 1 row == seed stitch.
