Love that technique and I use is often.
OK, so doing the cable without an extra needle, what you are doing is crossing the stitches & then knitting them, correct? I tried doing your method last night & got totally confused. Couldn't figure out how to knit the stitches in the order I would normally do them. I think in the daylight I can see the answer! TIA. Cindy
