Tah dah! I finished this on Saturday, but not without some more back tracking. This first picture shows that I should not have been watching tv while doing a cable cross over. I missed one side.
To correct the problem, and why I like to keep my cables marked with stitch markers, I put safety pin stitch markers through the outside stitches of the area that needed to be redone. This prevents the side stitches from unraveling while I am working.
Next, I removed the stitches from the needle that needed to be reworked.
I then started undoing the rows.
Using a crochet hook was a good way to pull out the correct threads.
I unraveled to a row below the mistake.
Using cable needles I moved the stitches to be knit as a cable. I also used these to knit back up the pattern.
Once I reached this point the cable looked good and was straight ahead knitting until the next cable pattern.
Here is my completed cowl. There is another mistake, but if I don't tell, you won't know what it is. Just like at a music recital, if you play through the mistake, the audience may never know.
Regards,
Karen

Thank you knitpickr. I get many compliments on it. Now we need to have weather cool enough for me to wear it a few more times. This weekend is cooperating, but we do live in the desert and we shall soon see some very warm temperatures.

Hi Amanda,
