Cables with no cable needle

A quick way to knit cables without using a cable needle (I always lose mine).
I apologize for the wind in the background. Being from North Dakota, there aren't really any non-windy days to film. I'll try to reshoot it indoors soon.

*about to cry* that was beautiful! *angrily* and you scared the crap out of me by dropping those stitches!! Sheesh!

extremely helpful ! I just learned how to knit about a week ago and I'm already able to do these cables thanks to your video.

This looks a very good technique as I am also a knitter who has an escaping cable needle which needs to be hunted for at every row. Hah, now a cable needle is redundant thanks to your video.

I like your pattern and plan to use your cables against a plain background, on a jersey for my grandson. I'm really pleased you thought of this and uploaded the video. Kudos to you.

What if you were to CF or CB a bigger number of stitches ?

Woah!! Thanks!! Too bad my cb's look better than my cf's! front cables look way easier.

Ahhhh! That's scary!!

Thank you for this. Now I'm wondering why I ever bothered with a cable needle. Cheers xx

I tried my best to keep up but I too cannot hear everything do to the wind. Wish I could do this stitch. :(

Thank you for a great video. I can't understand why some people were complaining about wind noise. You were very easy to understand.

@spagetti568 It's not actually a written pattern, just something out of my head (a baby bunting).

And yes, I am in North Dakota :-) We are in the Great Plains which means not many trees which in turn means LOTS of wind. I'm standing on my back porch

Hello! This video was great and I'm sorry if you've had to answer this question before but I was wondering what the thing was you were actually knitting on. and what was the location where you filmed it. I got the strange impression of some boardwalk or ocean pier. But I know you said North Dakota so...
