Someone on Ravelry needed a little play-by-play on a mini cable maneuver, so that's all this is. Apologies to those who wandered over looking for some decent photos or fancy knitting poetry.
Ok, here goes:
Step 1: place the tip of the right needle like so.
Step 2: slip it into the two stitches like so.
Step 3: wrap the yarn around the right needle like so.
Step 4: pull the new loop towards you, through the two stitches like so. STAY THERE - don't pull everything off the left needle, yet. Just give yourself a little slack in the yarn that's looped around the right needle.
Step 5: leap-frog over the second stitch and go back and slip your right needle into the loop of the first stitch (you'll see that I had to use my left index to keep the "new" stitch in the right place on the right needle while I maneuvered the tip into place).
Step 6: wrap the yarn around the right needle, as before.
Step 7: pull the new yarn loop towards you, through the first stitch.
Step 8: NOW take everything off the left needle and let it sit on the right needle. It will look like a hot mess right now, but will emerge as a crossed-over stitch when you knit up the next few rows/rounds.
Voilà! You're done.
