my goodness that was very helpful. i never thought to k1p1 from the back! i knew most of that cast on but only for knits. thanks for the upload!!!!

Nice job! The video's well done and the technique is so much easier than other methods I've attempted. Thank you!

Before now, I was pretty discouraged about ever getting a tubular cast-on right; I never used it in a project before this, but practiced the waste yarn method quite a bit, with uneven results.

Since I knit a LOT of toe up socks, Judy's Magic Cast On is my go-to method ... your video is going to change how I cast on for cuff down socks and garments FOREVER! Many, many thanks for making the video and sharing it with other knitters. I can;t wait to share it with others!

I love this video!! Thanks! Just what I needed

Just used it on the collar of my Diminishing Rib Cardigan and it looks splendid. I used the "traditional" method first but it was really loose and sloppy, even going down two needle sizes. This method makes a lovely and stretchy but even stitched cast on.

Thanks!

this video is awesme, I just enjoy you so much. what type of needles are you using?, they look like they have such a fine wire or plastic on them. not something i have seen here in canada

Omg! This is my fav cast on now. No more messy edges for me. No more waste yarn either. I found I can even do 2x2 rib by going up a needle sz for the first needle then k2 from the front and p2 from the back. It isn't as perfect as 1x1 but almost! Yay, thanks.

Today I answered my own question below re: Mitten cuffs or toque bottoms. I experimented with using the same size needle for the cuff and the result was that it was not stretchable to allow a hand going in and out.  When I started with larger needles for the 1st part, then changed to 2 sizes smaller needle for the K1 P1 part it turned out perfectly. Note: when loop knitting- leave a longer tail to weave the 1st two rows. Very professional look, I'm very satisfied.

Very well done video. I'm always looking for different ways to do projects and I will definately use this method. Thanks for sharing. Would you ever use this for mitten tops or toques? I'm wondering if it is stretchy enough for those projects?

I sure love watching you knit Continental method. I wish you were close by to help me.

Very nice and calming, thank you.

This is so nice, thanks for posting it. I wonder, do you know if this could be fashioned for a 2X2 ribbing tubular cast on? It seems there should be a way to do it!

At fist I was a bit confused which side was up when starting to knit in the round - but after I figured it out, this became my favorite cast on method.

The edge is really beautiful and I use it for other ribbings as well - though it is slightly visible. And its really much easier than it looks. ^_~

Thanks for sharing!

Very nicely done. The pacing is good and the instructions are clear. Thanks for sharing!
