Once I find a stitch or technique I like, I tend to get obsessed with it and create several designs around it. At the moment my obsession is with honeycomb cables. Easy to work, especially without a cable needle, they make a great filler for more complicated cable patterns or create a nice allover pattern.
In my current designs I am using honeycomb cables as a filler for shapes outlined by cables.

Simple and easy, right? Even easier (and faster!) to work when you make the cables without a cable needle. Below are videos with me demonstrating how to work the cables without a cable needle.
