[xxazeezahxx34]

thanks this help me so much i started jumping around with joy

[mgafkjen1]

Great Video! Thank you for sharing it! You made it so simple to cast on. I tried other websites but they made it so confusing. :(

[appelboem]

best video!! thank you :-)

[oxfordgman]

seriously best help ever! thanks!

[LillianBenDrew]

Thank you! I've been on many other casting on sites and they were all confusing. Your method is simple, straighforward and now I can begin to knit! thanks

[petitpaddychef]

my girlfriend wants to thank you for your help. you explained the casting perfectly and so easy to follow.

cheers

[vlizzler]

OMG I finally get how to do a simple cast on - thanks so much for your video!!!!!!

[ffamranmied]

Thank you so much for this! I constantly forget how to cast-on, and most tutorials are useless to me... but this was so direct and easy! Thank you!!

[veravida24]

Easiest method on yt, thank you! Good job on going slow for those of us that really need it slowed down! :)

[TokyoMewMewCherry]

Thank you!!!!

[lovesweasel]

Thank you! Finally helped me... now what to do next...

[xojennyxo]

Thanks, this was very helpful! I can do the long tail cast-on method, but I needed to cast on in the middle of knitting, so this was a great help.

Suggestions for the videos: I don't know if it's because the camera is close to your face, but the sound is a bit distorted. Also, if you have a bit of a script, it might help you make the dialogue more concise. Thanks!

[scarlet128]

OMG!! So helpful. Thank you!

[Emzy2607]

Thank you, I feel so confident just from being able to do this simple thing!! =] I will be coming back to you for my other knitting questions!!

[ejaye2010]

omg! thankyou so much! iv been struggling with trying to cast on. This seems to be the only way i can do it! thankyou so much!!

[RachelPaulLuv]

Excellent video!!!! Have watched so many other video snad they were so difficult!!!! Thank You!!!

[Niffers2]

So many people have said this, maybe it's' redundant. But thank you!! I too have been trying to knit from a book and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to cast on. I came to a different video on YouTube first and it did NOT help. You make it so simple! Thank you!

[karbar48]

Wow! I actually got it! Thanks so much. I'm actually on my way to knitting my first scarf.

[juliaincinci]

You have a very nice way of showing/explaining things. Thanks!

[ginpixiejen]

This was such an awesome video. I was actually trying to learn how to knit from a book and it was SO frustrating, Watching this has made everything a breeze. Thanks so much!

[puddles70]

omg thank heaven for you! much eaiser! thank you!!!!

[kskpage]

This was by far the easiest casting-on video I tried...had me knitting immediately! Thanks!

[thissanctuary]

this was great :D I went through a few videos and they were all so ridiculously fast that I couldn't possibly follow. Yours was great!!!

[holliegavin]

Really nice clear instructions! Thanks so much! :)

[kaleesianXmisfit]

Thank you sooo much. This old lady was confusing me, by using both needles. And another video was too fast. This was perfect :D

[MyNamesChristina]

You're my hero!!<3 All the other videos I watched were too... blah. But yours is perfect! Thank you!!

[aleahbelcher]

OMG, out of all the knitting vids on youtube, you make the only ones I can understand. You actually talk the viewer through it, in a way no else else seems to. You so rock! Thank you!

[somadear]

Thank you so much! You are a great teacher, I am so glad that I clicked on your video first! Can you make some more videos?

[greymacaw]

YOU ROCK, I went through so many vids trying to learn how to knit and this was by FAR the easiest! So clear, thanks! If you make a new video, one explaining basics like...if I want to make a scarf..how many 'cast ons' will make a scarf how wide? I made one and put 'cast ons' allllll the way across my needle and ended up making something too small for a blanket and too big for a scarf :)

[Smilee306]

Thank you, that was so easy to follow and the refresher I needed.

[moonyprongs]

i loooove this video. i've learned how to cast properly. thanks a lot!

[carolinechainsaw]

Thank you SO MUCH! This is the only video that makes sense!!

[savetheplanet898]

very nice instructions easyest way i've ever seen to do this best i've seen yet sound quality could do with a little work though

[1forcomments]

Oh that for this video! I took a class and could not remember for the life of me how to cast on the way she showed me. But this is even easier! Thanks so much!!

[jmosley4915]

this was the easy one thus far. Thanks

[sailgirl122]

OMG! I am knitting! You are genius. :)

[jules17330]

FINALLY! One that makes sense. Thank you!!!!

[karenhatesme]

This is the first knitting video I have ever been able to follow. I like that you take it slow and repeat yourself so I don't have to keep rewinding! Thank you!

[dragon4lyphe]

your video is the simplest, best video i have seen to cast on, as a first time knitter...this was great!!!

[extramural]

Lovely. Your tips will now see me progress forward and are appreciated. My husband has now put in an order for me to make a scarf for one of our chickens as its winter here and this particular type of chicken has no feathers on its neck. Its called a Punk Rocker and they are bred like this. Its one reason I took up knitting as neck warmers for chickens are rare as hens teeth. Keep them coming, your bloods worth bottling :))

[sp1nn3r86]

thank you so much for sharing your video. after what seemed like watching so many videos, i think i finally have the hang of it. altho, i was told i was doing some forwards and some backwards, i've learnt the most from your video. thank you very much for your help. :):)

[IndianaFunFemale]

You are AWESOME!!!!!!!! I've watched tons of videos and yours is the ONLY one that worked for me!!! THANK YOU!!!

[DarkLuvR]

Thank you thank you thank you! I watched about 10 other videos and was totally confused until I came across yours.

[fettuccinetube]

This is how I used to cast on but the problem is that when you knit the first row after this way a long string appears and gets longer and longer and it is a little bit of a hassle. Then it is OK if you get through the first row.

[MinnieMay9]

That is why it is not one of the ones I usually use myself.

[kitten645]

Thanks! I watched four other videos and couldn't do it! This was simple!

[crippledsamurai]

Thanks I've been doing it wrong the entire time this helped. Now I can make my niece a scarf

[knit09]

Thank you! I've been reading directions all day and this is the first one that really worked and so easily.

[xoxcuddlecorexox]

[btwntherndrops]

[HaPpYEvErYdAy7]

I was so horrible at casting on but since I saw this method, it was so easy. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it helped me tremendously.

[Sanerist]

it actually is easier if you use your thumb instead of your palm

[tara5681]

[kkjesbo]

OMG, thank you soo much! This is the best video for knitting!! All the other videos were going way to quick for me to catch on lol. Whoopee! I learned something new today!

[Mariamousie]

Thank you! I am so terrible at crafts, but I wanted to learn this. I got a book about knitting but I couldn't understand the cast on section at all. I finally realized I needed to see someone actually do it because pictures just confuse me. This was so easy!

[HeyLookABird814]

Wow this is great... A lot better and easier than the method I've been using. Thanks!

[tdaise77]

I took a $30 class today to learn to knit; we learned casting on and by the time I got home, I forgot! I couldn't recreate that other more complicated way. YOUR WAY IS THE BEST. SUPERB for beginners! I have watched your video 5 times and I can re-do it correctly and it comes out so neat! THANKS FOR THE GREAT INSTRUCTIONS; VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND!

[cheskaproductions]

omg this is brilliant!

[loislane9]

this was so easy to understand. thank you. :)

[jhpurdon]

I just watched 5 other "how to knit" videos and yours was the simplest and easiest. Thank you.

[flodafox]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VID!

[anangelchild]

THANK YOU! I'm sooo new to knitting and no matter how many videos I watched, I couldn't understand how to cast on. This way is excellent...at least for a beginner like me!

[flodafox]

i tried a bunch of other vids too. They were all like "put it in your thumb and pointer finger and go in here out here back around bla bla bla." This was sooooo much easier!

[ForlornRose825]

You saved my life! I was getting ready to rip my hair out trying to figure out how to cast on.

[mydeadflowers]

Thank you sooo! much this cast on was so east and nice!

[SoHappyIam]

yes, out of all the videos my cast on came out so neat, thanks...you rock...

[thevintagecircus]

this first and second method produces the same stitches right?

[MinnieMay9]

I only show one method in this vid. I do show two ways of knitting in my other one. Both ways in the knitting video do produce the same stitch.

[2hYpeRR2beKooL]

[bathooon]

Awesome Minnie.. so useful, very easy to learn, you ROCK.. :-D

[albertarose23]

Thanks alot ;)

[mrsradcliffeHBP]

This video worked so well for me. But I was wondering after I have all my stitches then do I just use the pattern needed with the amount that I have? What do I do after I have my stitches

[MinnieMay9]

Yes, once you have enough loops on your needles you have enough stitches to start your pattern. If you don't have a pattern you could just start knitting a row. This just gets your stitches on your needle so you can start working with them.

[ackblonde64]

so i looked at sooo many other videos on the web and this one was the only one that i could understand! and it was such an easy way too! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! woot woot
