Thanks! I cable ok, but haven't seen any one knit right off the hook. I've always put the stitches back on the left needle. I live your way. I see your in a salon. I'm a stylist too :)

I just started cable knitting and REALLY like the knitting hooks you're using. Where do you buy them? The only place I can find them is ONE listing on e-bay that is out of Singapore (and they are these really creepy pastel colors...). Is there any other place to buy them?

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
