About 6 months ago I began to knit this fabulous sweater from Audry Nicklin. It looks rather complex but the pattern is written so well that I would say it is easy to make for knitters who have just a bit of cabling experience.
Up to this project I always did cable patterns with the help of a cable needle.
In this sweater you need to cross stitches almost in every round, so I thought it would be helpful to find a way of speeding this up - cabling without the help of a cable needle!
There are several ways to do that. Here are some good videos that show different techniques:

I used a mix of different techniques for the different kinds of stitch crossings in this pattern. I hope you will find this useful :)
