  • THANK YOU! I've been searching videos to relearn how to cast on and some are ridiculous. Saw one where the woman didn't even start from the beginning the video showed her casting on after about 3 stitches and one was just about playing cat's cradle instead of making the stitches. Thank you for keeping it simple so that people can understand it.t

  • It's not fancy but it works which is why I made the videos, for my students between classes.

    Nice name, my cousin knows the members of Fall Out Boy.

  • is this the same as the long tail cast-on? Cause this is waaaayy easier looking then the long tail. Are they much different?

  • This is not the same and they are very different.

  • I do not turn the loop before putting it onto the left needle, am I doing it wrong?

  • Technically yes. What you're doing will jsut give a subtle change to the way the edge looks. If you like what you're doing and it doesn't bother you then don't worry about it.

  • Watched like a half dozen videos and could not figure out how to do this. Watched this one once and it made sense! My daughter is now off and running! Thanks so much.

  • augh! thank you so much! i was trying to figure out how to do this from a book, and this was so much more helpful! thank you again!

  • thanks a lot! i learnt how to knit by this video! the other videos are all so confusing but this one just stands out. you make it look so easy, and thats what inspired me the most.

    THANKS!

  • Elizabeth Zimmerman, of august knitting-how-to memory, wrote that this was the best way to cast-on. Then she wondered, in her essay, why she didn't use it more exclusively. Habit I believe. Trust me. Learn this, esp. from this clip when she teaches that you don't have to remove the right-hand needle to continue. Beautiful cast-on results. Not too tight, not too loose. Eliz. Zimm.'s conclusion.

  • This is extremely simple and clear. Thank you!

  • very good!

  • Thanks, a great replacement for the long tail cast on. You kept it clear and simple. I didn't feel like I needed to see anyone else's video
