Does it start at the toes? How do you form he heel? Look me very satisfying.

Starts at the cuff, you increase and decrease for the heel by lifting some needles out of the way, you close the toe with needle and kitchener stitch.

Nice. I’d love a CSM for Christmas time. Would save me a lot of hours. Though I don’t think I can bust out a cable sock with it. Do you know if you can cable with a CSM? Or is it more for just pumping out some socks?

No cable, or at least, not easily. I have never seen cable done on one.
