Yes, there's a blog called the Yarn Harlot; and her work is amazing. You can find her work cited in a lot of discussions on Ravelry and other knitting online communities. If you have the opportunity, I strongly suggest a read-through of her work.
And, she saved a project of mine.
See, I'd done this on a sweater I was working on (I'm making this one from a DROPS design; and I've yet to finish the full sweater yet):
And not noticed until much further down the sleeve. Needless to say, I didn't want to ladder down to fix it.
So as I sat there agonizing about what to do, I came across the Yarn Harlot's post about darning over wrongly-crossed cables.
And huzzah, the cables look right now! I haven't yet finished this sleeve, so there's no celebratory picture yet, but there will be whenever I finish this sweater. It's been in and out of hibernation for the past four years(!) so there are no promises to whenever I finish it!
But, I thought I would share with you one of the best tools in my arsenal for dealing with cable mistakes. It really is helpful when you just can't ladder down to fix a wrongly-crossed cable.
