Cables are my favourite thing to knit but I must admit the cable needle annoys me sometimes - picking it up and putting it down interrupts to the flow. I'll have to try the method you've shown here and see how it goes, especially on 6 or 8 stitch cables. Thank you for your clear instructions.
You are so right, Cheryl - flow is very important in knitting. If something interrupts it, it is usually quite annoying. I'm glad you like this little trick. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
The irony that you posted a cable knitting video when I have spent countless hours trying to find the right one, is not lost on me. I've spent all this morning struggling with trying to twist my cables in either direction. And dont get me started on the cable needle. It's been a nightmare. Lol I am new to knitting, been working it for about as long as I have been to subscribed to your website. So, that's to say, I am very new and not very good at it yet. I have, however, been crocheting for nearly 25 years and I find the clear direction of your videos paired with the simple but forward Russian method to be most helpful and advantageous. It works up so quickly and flows with the knitting rather than against it (A quality that drew me to crochet as well). Anyways, what I am really trying to say is Thanks! 😊
My dear Tanya, I'm sorry this tutorial was not posted earlier to save you from the "unhappy cabling", but I'm glad that, at least now, you can make cables using this simple and efficient method. It makes sense that you find Russian and Continental knitting more intuitive than the English knitting style - as a crocheter you are used to holding yarn in your left hand. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
By the time I'd followed this technique I'd have worked more than one cable with a cable needle. Still interesting to see different techniques. Thank you.
You are right, Susan - it is so much fun to try new knitting techniques. I hope you will find this simple method helpful. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
If only I knew this simple way of cabling 80 years ago! I've done it the 'hard' way for all those years. The way you demonstrated is brilliant. Thank you Maryna.
Great work. As soon as you mentioned the long strand I saw it in my mind and how it makes the cross over very open. Thank you for your well thought out method.
Great tutorial Maryna! I use this method sometimes. I guess it depends on how confident I’m feeling that day, lol. Thanks for pointing out the advantages of not having the long strands in the back. I never thought of that! Genius! Thanks for another great tutorial and have a wonderful weekend!💞
I watched your video two days ago when it was first published. I was particularly interested because I recent started a throw that has multiple cables. I was regretting my pattern choice until I watched this video. I just tried this technique on my throw with 6- stitch cables and it is a game changer! Thank you for your clear instruction.
Thank you, Marla :-) I'm so glad to know that you like this little trick. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me and other knitters. Happy knitting, my friend!
It works for all yarns, Chris. I demonstrated it with a thick yarn to make it easier for you to see how this technique works. The method is the same for the yarn in any thickness. With finer yarns, it is better to make sure your working place is well-lit. Good lighting helps to see the stitches better. Happy knitting :-)

Brilliant and so simple. Thanks.

This is genius, I tend to avoid cable patterns because of those long strands and sometimes little holes made me so unhappy.

I don't think this method works with thin yarns like sock yarn.
