I claim I dont have this problem. Ok, I left a single sock at Kim and
I dont use any in Brasil, but the cables I wind up and use them 20
years without fixing them.
There is two ways to do it:
short cables you double until they are only about 30 cm and then make
a knot into the whole multiple strip.
long cables you have to roll up like a wheal would. The problem is
that most wind them over the arm and thus twist them with every turn.
The same goes for unrolling them: if you simply take the end of a
nicely rolled cable and walk away, for each turn you will twist it
once, and when its twisted, it becomes really dificult to roll it up
right and its the twisted force that creates the "miscordation"
phenomenon mentioned further up.
Then once they are rolled up, you can make a knot arround it with the
outer end. Many have warned me saying that this kills the cable. I
answer that in the last 20 years it did not kill one of mine. Maybe
because I dont make the knot it exactly the same spot each time...
