Makes flexible and elastic edges perfect for the edge on a ribbed top down sock, ribbed cuff edges etc.
The white thread we use are waste yarn that we pull out later. After casting on, the sts with the white thread around are P sts. Knit the K sts, and lift the P sts with yarn in front of work.
After 4 rows (more if thinner yarn) you pull out the waste yarn and continue in rib, now working both K and P sts.
wendyeaston: It looks like a provisional cast on but it isn't. The white yarn is basically waste yarn and is removed after you basically double back and pick up the other color of the cast on. I can't say it as well as she demonstrates it ;0)

Isn't this really a provisional cast on which is sometimes confused with tubular?

Makes it all so clear! (and what a relief to see someone hold their yarn the same way I do!)
