No, and that would make sense. I'll try it with a small wooden sock needle, if I don't just decide to ditch it.
It's the *base* of a cable. The aim is to start the cable off smoothly. This is the purl rib cable at the top of the sock, so it's a cable you do by purling rather than knitting, because you're basically knitting the cable inside out.
