2009 0819 lighter circular cast-on two similar ways (knitting)

There are two circular cast-ons that I've seen floating around on the web that I like to use. The one I use ends up being the one I remember at the time because they are *really* similar. There's the version in TECHknitter's blog called the disappearing loop method, and there's the one from Eunny Jang's retired blog called the lighter circular cast-on.

So if using one circular, do you then split the stitches magic loop style and go from there? Sorry I only use double points for I-cord. Thanks again for this video!

@ksmithwhite Yup! Split them up in whatever way is most comfortable. Magic loop works great with this. I would still work the first couple rounds like Icord just because it's more stable that way.

Oh My Word! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just found a new pattern telling me to use a disappearing loop to CO and I had NO clue what that was. Your tutorial makes so much sense. But what I really appreciate is your showing us how you then go into an I-cord and straight into dpns. I've been knitting a lot of animals and creatures lately and you always have to go back to your CO end to sew that end back up, but it doesn't look like I'll be doing that anymore. Thanks!

Very well demonstrated and explained! Took me a couple of tries, but now it turns out very well indeed. Thanks a lot!

I was totally confused by Tech knitter's diagrams, this is so easy to understand...thanks.
