This is for a stretchy, softer edge.

Hi Rosemary and thank you. I will visit your listed blog.

I have restarted the Master Level I (again) from TKGA and came across this cast on in The Principles of Knitting by Hiatt, but I could not find it in any of my other knitting books so I googled and your video was the first to come up. Hiatt claims this cast on is a WINNER! She gives written directions, BUT your video HELPED A LOT!

Thank you ...

Karen

The advantage of this kind of cast on is that it is extremely flexible. It's really stretchy... I am trying to learn it right now - I think this was a really great simple explanation & I can't wait to get going!

(I think that the poster has explained that the audio gets cut off at the end. All she would have said is 'and now you're ready to knit!')

Humm, it cut off before the explination was through. What is the purpose for this cast on technique? What are it's advantages compaired to other, less complicated methods of casting on?

Isn't this that super stretchy cast on that works for the tops of socks?
