I never quite got used to it, but I can see how one could.

I googled a bunch of photos and figured out the pattern, then altered it enough so that the instep becomes symmetrical rather than offset in the cables and ribs.

My point? I was NOT liking using a cable needle. So I developed my own way of doing a Cable over 4 stitches! For instance: say you are working on Needle 1 and come to a cable (and this is for a cable held in the front of the work). Use the previously worked needle, Needle 4 for me, to slip off the 2 stitches that are to be held in front, let them hang in front on that needle (sometimes I push the needle through these 2 stitches a bit to make sure they don’t fall off) while you knit the next 2 on Needle 1. Now just slip the 2 stitches from Needle 4 back onto Needle 1 and work them.

This worked for me throughout both of the socks!

Of course now I am taking a brain break with a Trekking XXL in stockinette stitch!
