Knit cables with no cable needle

Knit cables faster and more easily without a cable needle. First I show how to use the cable needle, and then how to accomplish the same left and right cable twists without it.

I almost screamed when you pulled the stitches off of the needle. I have yet to relax while knitting, my biggest fear is dropping a stitch. Will try this technique on a swatch, cross fingers!

I just want you to know how scary this video was to me. I made an audible gasp when I saw those stitches not on a needle.. I'll have to try it sometime though.

Yay! I couldn't start my last project in the car because I forgot my cable needle. This gives me one less needle to have to keep up with. Thanks for a clear tutorial. Tinking was finally explained too.

Tinking, eh? hehehe i've heard it also described as frogging a lot... because when you go back in your knitting, you rip it, rip it.

@xXxReborn16xXx You have to cable every so many rows (always the same number). Let's say you work six rows in pattern, then you CF6. Then in another six rows you're going to have to do that again.
