Can you cable knit with crocheting?

[kindredspiritPA]

Like many others; I'm about ready to try cable stitching........looks easy but I'm sure to mess up a bit at first!!lol

[afecay]

wow that makes it look sooooo much easier :)

Thank you for the video. If I don't have a spare needle can I hold the stitches on a crochet hook?

Thanks I like the hook after seeing it in action - just seems like you'd have to worry less about stiches slipping off by accident

This was such an awesome video. I have never been shown how to use the hook, and to be honest, everyone I see uses a dpn. But I out of trial and error (it did take me a few times using the hook backwards for me to realize that was not right lol) figured used it the way you just showed. I am glad that I have been using it right. Your video really helped me understand cables better. I will have to check out your books, because now I am addicted to cabling. :D

Thank you so much for this video! I didn't know how to do it so I checked on here and you demonstrated with the scarf that I want to knit! The besotted scarf, neato! I didn't realize how easy the cable stitch was...thanks again :)
