THE OPEN CABLE IS A LOVELY STITCH AND THE DEMO WAS DONE VERY WELL. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU SAY CABLE RIGHT, CABLE LEFT, IT IS CONFUSING. USUALLY CABLES ARE DONE FROM THE FRONT AND FROM THE BACK.
There are a few different types of cables. Some cables done over an odd number of stitches are abbreviated with a left and right, not a front and back.
DEAR LACIE,
