2. USE PRUNING SHEARS OR SHARP SCISSORS TO MAKE INITIAL CUTTING IF HARD TO REACH. Make quick cuts of each vine end chosen. Temporarily set aside cuttings in container of fresh water, rainwater is best. Prune more cuttings than you plan to replant so you can cull the best shoots. Work fast, do quick visual checks before pruning and setting aside in water container. You will review cuttings before final cuttings. Use single edged razor blade to cut vines. Slice at sharp angle. This exposes the maximum amount of interior of plant so abundant root structure will form. A very sharp Xacto kinfe would work also.  See also  http://www.ehow.com/how_5381135_make-own-organic-fertilizer.html
3. PICK OUT BEST PRUNING CUTTINGS. Select for green, healthy condition upon closer inspections. Cull less attractive vine cuttings from prunings. Use single edged razor blade for re-cut of vines on flat surface. Sharp angle at end of vine to be started and grown inside, results in healthier root development. Slice at very sharp angle. A very sharp Xacto kinfe will work too. When you have about a half dozen sharp-angled re-cuts, you have what you need to use a starter solution and grow inside until spring.  See  http://www.ehow.com/how_5420159_store-plants-inside-over-winter.html
