Monica Knits

When knitting in the round with two circular needles, each needle is only used to knit the stitches that reside on it. Slide the stitches on Needle #2 (no markers) to the middle of the cable and park them there. This will keep them from sliding off the end while you are working with Needle #1. In addition, this will make it less awkward to form the first stitch on Needle #1 and prevent a large loop between the two needles, by improving the angle of approach.
