I am a bit confused as to why you have to pull the needle out at the end. When you reinsert the needle to start over again, you are putting it right back where you took it out from.......you just need to bring the left needle forward on the last stitch instead of putting it behind the right needle and leave it where it is. Or am I missing something??
@lizardrules You can just bring the left needle forward, but I find it easier to start fresh for each stitch. It also makes it easier to tighten or loosen the stitch after you add it to the left needle. But you're welcome to do it that way if it works better for you. It doesn't change anything. :)
You make excellent videos. I am trying to learn how to knit and to be honest I have learned more in your video than I did in a classroom setting! Bravo to you! Keep making these videos please. I also think it is soooo cool that you handmade items were used in movies etc.... You are truly very talented. :)
I just wanted to say loving your videos. I have to teach my 6year old 1st grader how to knitt for homeschool and I have to learn with her. Your videos are helping out a lot. Ty.
I love that you and your 6 year old are learning to knit with my videos. thanks for letting me know. please keep watching and learning. look for me on facebook too.
thanks for letting me know the video worked for you. Hope you keep watching and learning. Knitting is so rewarding. Please like me on my facebook page.
Thank you so much for this video. My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was younger... now 18 it completely slipped my mind as to how its done. You speak clearly and explain well. :)
yes, there are many ways to cast on. this is the one I learned and seems very easy to me. whatever works best for you is the one you should use. happy knitting and look for me on facebook.
@MamaPalma That may be true but as a beginner I've tried the easier methods and always end up casting too tight or unevenly (when I try to cast on quickly to save time). Taking the extra effort to use this method has given me a nice even row to start with that isn't too tight or too loose (like with the two-needle method). It's like Judy said - different methods work for different people. While I will still practice those, I'll be sticking with what works for me so I can move on in my learning!
Great video and way better than the book I bought, wish I knew first that this was on YouTube! Thanks so much Judy, going to practice now and when I think I've got it, I'm coming back for the next one in your series!! A+++
Judy!! You're a genious :) thanks for unseats ding what makes a GREAT instruction video!! Oh I love your whole series. And can I just say you knit very beautifully :) Thanks Judy!
I was 13 when I learned how to knit, too. You'll enjoy it for years to come. So happy to have you in the knitting community. Please keep watching and learning. Look for me on facebook too.
that seems hard But I'm sure it will get simple with time for me. My girlfriend thinks I'm a freak for getting into knitting because I'm a 21 year old male... But One of us needs to know this
I made another version of it called CAST ON SLOW VERSION. That might be easier for you to start with. Have fun knitting and congratulations on stopping smoking.
try watching my other video CASTING ON SLOW VERSION. that might be easier for you. don't give up. you'll be so glad when you finally can start knitting.
@ShakespeareAvenue Watch my other video called CASTING ON SLOW VERSION. That should help you. Be patient and do it over and over and you'll get it and realize how easy it is. Then you'll be so happy Knitting is such a wonderful pass time. Please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.. .
yes, you can knit, knit, knit. that's called the garter stitch. or you can purl, purl, purl for the same look. One row knit, one row purl is the stockinette stitch. I'll bet it's gotten easier by now. Practice makes perfect. please keep watching and keep at it. look for me on facebook too.
F.A.B! Your video is so easy to follow I had to watch it a few time but then it just clicks and it so easy I will be going no to see how to carry on. I plan to make my nieces funky animal hats and mittens for xmas next year!
Ah I can't seem to figure it out XD Doing the initial crochet stuff is easier. But I love how knit stuff looks over crochet stuff .. so I will endure and get it strait ^-^ but thanks for the great video
hello judy! just yesterday i began to knit and thanks to your videos i can now fully cast on. in other videos they wouldnt tell you how to keep the string taught so you helped me alot! i hope to be able to knit an afgan by my fifteenth birthday :)
Hi Judy, is it correct to follow this particular way of casting on before i decide to do the knit stitch or purl stitch or ribbing? Thank you very much!!!
I prefer the long tail cast on. It would be nice to learn what the effects of different cast ons. Even with knitting since I was 12 yo I'm really not sure about all the different effects the cast ons have.
This is how I learned to cast on when I was a kid. Only recently have I heard about lots of other cast ons and eventually I'll do videos for some of them. I just automatically use this one for everything. Thanks for writing and please keep watching.
to SlytherinChild: There are actually 4 types of casting on and each one gives you different results. There is thumb method cast-on, long tail cast-on, casting on using cable method (shown in this video) and invisible cast-on. First two uses only one needle, last two both. The method shown here gives you strong cast-on edge, the other ones are more flexible. Invisible cast-on is probably most flexible of all, I suggest you check with pattern instructions which one to use.
Thank you Judy :) Christmas is coming up and I want to make something rather than buy something for my family. Lol much more heart coming from the gift lol
This is awesome, I always wanted to know how to cast on this way.
I just have a silly question, does the type of casting on you do effect how the project you're doing looks? or are they the same? I'm just asking because a pattern I'd like to do refers to this type of casting on while i do a different kind, I'm just worried I'll mess something up if I do it the other way I know how
This cast on is the one I learned when I started knitting. I never knew there were others till recently. This is the one I use for most anything. I do like the picot cast on for baby things though. Thanks for writing and please keep watching. Look for me on facebook too.
thank you,you really saved me....at first i was all confused,....''pull it,push it through'' and i was all like O_o??? but somehow i finally did it....but that pull it push it through is still my hardest part xDDD
so glad you finally got it. practice a lot and soon it'll be real easy. you won;t even have to think about it. there is another video called CASTING ON SLOW VERSION. You might want to give that a look. thanks for writing.
Honestly, this is the only way I learned to cast on and I've used it for everything. I am going to make some videos of other ways to cast on though so please keep watching.
hi.. i am taking a knitting class for the first time and my teacher suggested you and i am glad that she did because this video really did help even when i had to watch it 10 times to get the cast stitch right... so thank you
glad you stuck with it and finally got it. please thank your knitting teacher for suggesting my videos and tell her I appreciate it. do keep watching and look for me on facebook too.
thanks for this its really helped i cud do the other basic stuff but not cast on im happy now i piked up tips from ma nan and ma bff kirsty and this has been really useful so thanx agen :P
thanks ive been tryin to cast on 4 ages but cudnt i cud cast off and knit normally but not cast on and this has helped all i wanna do is knit at the mo i wanna learn everythin now im learnin off others ma nan is a great help and ma m8 kirsty but i found this to b helpful so thanx
Thank you for sharing your knowledge - also viewed your casting off video - your tips and way of teaching are the best i've come across. thanks again and best wishes.
iv learned the basics from left handers and learned how to understand patterns so now i can watch right handed ppl and understand what we have to do xD
i also found this awsome site( raverly (dot)com) to get some patterns..but when there are stitches that i dnt know yet i watch ur vids or someone elses for help ; )
This looks a lot easier than another video I just got done watching. My fingers hurt so bad from trying to knit how that video showed me. I'm going to try your way once my fingers stop hurting so bad!
AAGGHHH!!! Everyone seems to like this video but i cant get the part where you take the right needle and loop it in the other... thing. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
i know this may be a silly question, but do you have to take out the right hand needle ( blue ), or can you leave it in and just put it under the left hand needle?
My grandmother has been teaching me to knit, but I just could not get the casting on right this morning when I started a new project. I've looked at four videos so far and this one is the one that actually helped me. It was sooo simple!
I looked at several different videos for how to cast on & yours was the most helpful. The instructions were very clear and very easy to follow. I've subscribed & watched a few of your other videos & can't wait to try more stitches since I just started knitting a couple weeks ago. Thanks again!!
Thank you, I don't know how many times I have watched a video and just couldn't work out hot to cast on. This is the first time I have gotten it right :D
Great method, I love this! Does this make one row in stockinette? I am doing a project in garter stitch, so I should check to make sure I can cast on this way
well, learned my knit stich and purl, also the increase by knitting in front and back or purl in front and back.... it's still pretty tricky though...trying to make this purse...and some ladies i've been hanging out with told me i should try making something simpler before the purse...because i still don't recognize stitches so when i mess up...i end up ripping it all off and starting again vs fixing the mistake...i'm not good at fixing yet...but i'm trying though...THANKS AGAIN !
your video is really good, thankyou:) only cast on video if have been able to follow!been knitting for ages, but i'm rubbish at casting on, always get someone to start me off!thankyou for such a good video :)
Your Video has been so helpful, I picked up a "I Taught Myself Knitting" book yesterday and it comes with detailed instructions and pictures, but seeing the stich actually played out made such a difference in my knitting. Thank you!
I really want to knit a scarf for my mom for her birthday, I can not find a good video though! I'm sorry but you were just going to fast and It was hard for me to catch up.
I think this is the hardest way to cast on

This looks a lot easier than another video I just got done watching. My fingers hurt so bad from trying to knit how that video showed me. I'm going to try your way once my fingers stop hurting so bad!

Thank you! I've been using the long-tail cast-on, but that gets hard sometimes when making a larger item, lol.

Thank you.... I have been trying to knit for the past 3 days and each time i start my second row it fails, cause I haven't been casting on properly!!

knittingtipsbyjudy 1 year ago
i know this may be a silly question, but do you have to take out the right hand needle ( blue ), or can you leave it in and just put it under the left hand needle?
dnlbein 1 year ago
Thanks so much for that! I just couldn't work out how to do that from other videos. No on to learning stitches. Thanks Judy.

My grandmother has been teaching me to knit, but I just could not get the casting on right this morning when I started a new project. I've looked at four videos so far and this one is the one that actually helped me. It was sooo simple!

I looked at several different videos for how to cast on & yours was the most helpful. The instructions were very clear and very easy to follow. I've subscribed & watched a few of your other videos & can't wait to try more stitches since I just started knitting a couple weeks ago. Thanks again!!

knittingtipsbyjudy 1 year ago
Great method, I love this! Does this make one row in stockinette? I am doing a project in garter stitch, so I should check to make sure I can cast on this way
mamasasquatch 1 year ago
once you have cast on, just start knitting every row and that will be garter stitch.
happy knitting!
knittingtipsbyjudy 1 year ago

how are you doing now that a few days have passed? hope you're having fun. keep watching the videos. lots to learn.
knittingtipsbyjudy 1 year ago
well, learned my knit stich and purl, also the increase by knitting in front and back or purl in front and back.... it's still pretty tricky though...trying to make this purse...and some ladies i've been hanging out with told me i should try making something simpler before the purse...because i still don't recognize stitches so when i mess up...i end up ripping it all off and starting again vs fixing the mistake...i'm not good at fixing yet...but i'm trying though...THANKS AGAIN !

Your Video has been so helpful, I picked up a "I Taught Myself Knitting" book yesterday and it comes with detailed instructions and pictures, but seeing the stich actually played out made such a difference in my knitting. Thank you!
