Is it possible to do this cast on in the round? If so how would one do that?

[verypinkknits]

@Doolies Yes - but the only way I've done this CO in the round is by doing the first couple of CO rows in ROWS (knitting back and forth), and then joining it in the round on the 3rd or 4th CO row. It works well enough.

I love the scarf you're wearing in the video! Can you share the pattern?

[verypinkknits]

@mom2bsa The scarf I'm wearing is called Argosy, and the pattern is available for free on knitty dot com.

wow, that was done so fast i didn't understand it at all, guess i will have to watch it many more times. plus it is obvious i'm brand new at this.

@tookienurse Yes - there is a lot to this cast-on! I would imagine that you would need to watch the video more than once to get it. I had to keep a little page of notes for myself to remember what came next when we were shooting the video. :)

Very helpful. Thanks so much for putting up the video. I usually refer to one of my book to remind me how to do this, but seeing it in a video is so much easier.

@maplestoryfreak10 We shoot videos year 'round, actually less in the summer months. (We shoot enough in advance so that I'm able to release a new video every week.) Unfortunately, it's really warm most of the time here in Austin, Texas.  So it might seem as if we only shoot in the summer. :)

Thanks for your clear easy to understand videos.

@verypinkknits Oh, thank you! :D
