How to cast on (KNIT!)

[hlupanask]

thanks a lot.... very helpful.... i am starting now......

[wkdweewitch]

Thank you! This is by far the easiest method- I can't quite get the other methods i've seen on here....top bird you are! x

[millions2nette]

Very nice. This is so much better than that other method with all of that figure 8 stuff that you have to do with your hands. This is very appreciated..and the first time I ever saw it too.

[Avatarlover85]

thank you, this helped me so much!

[riotxxgirl13]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!

[dungeoneer]

Thank you so much, this is the only video instruction i have actually been able to understand, i never learned this as a child so my adult brain struggles - so clear and simple videos are just what i needed!

[firstofcentral]

THANK YOU!!! I'm left-handed, so everything I do is upside down and backwards. Watched this one time and was finally able to cast on sucessfully!

[uraya1]

nice but is there anyway to make this video slower? you move too fast for beginners like me:(

[teganyavo]

hey, fantastic. don't tell my dude friends im learning how to knit

[radcliffefamily]

Wow. Even I can understand this. Thank you.

[nicksmistress]

Thanks so much for this video! This is the ONLY cast on video I've been able to understand.

[LillyWarner]

Omg thank you so much :D I failed so horribly in all the other methods, but this worked at once!

Thank you for putting up the video~~!! Now i'll happily continue knitting scarfs and I won't have to bother my mum about casting on anymore! XD

[Strgzr11]

Please understand, I do not mean this snotty or bitchy in any way; but would some one tell me why this method is prefered? It seems somewhat complicated, so I was wondering if it is especially useful for a certain stitch or project? Again, I'm not criticizing, I'm only asking :-)

My mother tried to teach me how to cast on using one needle and a thumb, I was 7 at the time and did not have the co-ordination or discipline to get my thumb to do what I wanted it too. So I just winged it with a needle one day and this is what happened. Some can do the thumb way and some can't. Some can do it other ways. I like this way.

[81sunshine]

I don't know if it is preferred, there are no right or wrong ways with knit, I know 3 different ways to cast on, just do what you find most comfortable/easy/gives the best knitting

[Hairykrak]

thank you so much for this. my mum showed me about 100 times and i could not get it. i watched your video once and i had it. THANKS

[rdm1330]

Thank you so much for this video!! I couldn't figure out how to only cast on 1 stich. With others you always end up casting on 2 to start. So this really helped me.

[yangamee]

wow, that's cool

[japanoi]

Snowflakes stop being so rude, dont wrorry spambat I agree with you there are ltos of ways to cast on. SnowflakesCS I think your the one who needs to do reasearch if you think there is only one way.

[SpamBAT]

Thank you :) There's almost always a few ways to do something when it comes to knitting.

[SnowflakeCS]

Where on earth did you learn to cast on by wrapping the yarn around two needles? I think perhaps YOU need to research 'how to cast on'!

[SpamBAT]

Maybe I should have re-worded it to "a way to cast on" considering there is NOT ONLY ONE WAY TO DO IT.

Maybe you should take some chill pills and stop using youtube as a punching bag for your anger management issues.

[RavenMarin]

thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[beatlejn]

what's the name of this type casting on ??? i'm used to seeing the cable casting on where you start with a slipknot and weave the needle through the yarn. but this is interesting, thanks.

[RiverCityRocker7]

thank you! this helped a lot :D

[sara2618]

I love your version much better! It's much easier than the other peoples! Thanks so much! ;D

[paisleyduck]

thanks, this helped a lot!  i like this way of casting on...

[jmsj322]

That was fantastic!! i've never seen anyone cast on like that thank you!

[mtran41]

it sucked.

[SpamBAT]

How? Why? and keep rude comments to yourself and be more respectful and straight forward.

[mtran41]

you didn't help anywhere because you just showed it and also because it was too fast.

[SpamBAT]

If I had talked the voice quality would have been bad because the EyeToy was on my shoulder, as for speed, I'm going a lot slower there than I am in my other video asnd when I knit on my own.

[mtran41]

yur freakin' serious? it was on your shoulder, oh my god that must've been hard. i'm still going to get my cousin to help me knit it.

[SpamBAT]

It was. Had to keep my shoulder tense.

Hope I helped in some way, I hate the idea of casting on with my thumbs.

[BlueAngel305]

Thxs for making this video

[mawfackas]

thanks! it really helped!

[BabyButtaCup]

wow, i love this idea, it's very easy to understand...thank you so much

[Michael1290]

This is a good way. It is helpful. But this way is much slower. Sorry but Mrs. Moskowitz's video had a better way to cast on. If her way confuses you though this is the way to go thats less confusing =) Good video though.

[ewe2bing]

I've tried so many other methods and failed so many times. This method is great! Thanks so much for posting.

[greatsawyer2424]

THANK U :> :> :> :>

[montrealstars60]

I didn't know this was possible.... wow what a helpful hint, thanks

[boredmaeproductions]

THANK U! IT IS GOOOD!

[aslankonyali]

ssd

[silkblackr0se]

thank you!

[gallyganders]

Help! I'm getting dizzy!

[keyserm]

there is such an easier way to cast on then this.. and bad filming

[elliothead1]

i have a better way to cast

[piratehooker316]

I already knew how to cast on with my fingers, but this was a nifty method. I'm trying to get PAST the cast on stage, haha. Thanks, this was cool!

[samtiffany]

i am so frustrated trying 2 do this.

[SpamBAT]

OH NOOO

this was how I USE to knot, don't go clockwise around the needle in your right handle, go anti-clockwise

that means TOWARDS YOU otherwise your knitting will be to tight and feel jumbled and tangled.

other people cast on with their fingers but I never got the hang of it so I did it this way and it wors fine for me

[Ruchi11]

omg, me too. i've tried to cast on like..50 times..i failed each time.

[virginiawaldron]

Thankyou so much. I will try this. Is this a better method than the long-tail method? What is this method called and is it good for certain things e.g. cables? Very nice video.
