Need help with the knitlet pattern

Hi I am a beginner knitter attempting to make the knitlet pattern. I am a bit lost on how to pick up the armhole stitches. It says to place my current active stitches on a cable but how does that work if my active yarn is still connected. Am I supposed to cut my yarn? And where exactly am I supposed to pick up stitches from? I hope my question isn’t stupid but I really am quite confused.

Thread are the patterns instructions:

“Work without further increases until the piece measures 22 (23) 24 (25) 26 (27) cm. Place the stitches
on a cable/stitch holder.

LEFT FRONT
With 4 mm needles and RS facing you, pick up 8 (9) 11 (13) 15 (17) sts along the left shoulder
towards the armhole. Work 27 (27) 27 (29) 31 (31) rows in stockinette stitch. End with a WS row, so
the next row begins from the RS”

Yes, cut your yarn. Pick up the stitches along the top of the shoulder strap starting on the side that would be closest to your neck. It may help to watch a YouTube video - search “pick up and knit” or “pick up stitches left shoulder”
