Another great tutorial and such a clear explanation.I have tried to cable without a cable needle and can see the benefits of knowing this technique. I find that my stitches tend to be looser if I am doing a two over two cable with a cable needle. For me, it's all about pinching the stitches properly. More practice is in order. Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it!! Working the stitches on the tips of the needles does help a good bit with tension for cables. I find my tension is better when not using the cable needle, since those stitches get stretched out more for me when using one versus cabling without a cable needle.

One more way for 1/1 rc is knitting into the 2nd st first (from the front, so not as if 2tog) without dropping anything and then into the 1st one. For 2/2 cables I just use a stitch marker to rearrange them securely (unless very bulky yarn).

Oh yes! Good point - I should have demonstrated that as well! And using a stitch marker to help avoid dropping the stitches is a smart idea. Thank you for commenting!

I cable without a cable needle for right crosses, and with a cable needle for left crosses. Holding the stitches to the front is easy-peasy for me, but I find holding the cable needle to the back really fiddly.

Yes, one is definitely more easy for me than the other, too!
