Circular Tubular Cast On Tutorial

Have any of you been searching for the perfect tubular cast on? One that can be worked in the round, without the tightness of the "cast on half" methods. One that actually looks great, has great stretch, and doesn't require starting on straights and then seaming up that little bit once your join the round? I know I have! I like the Italian tubular cast on, which this one is obviously very similar to, but I always despised that half the stitches were mounted wrong and needed to be knit through the back loop. I also really wanted to be able to join the round immediately and not do that wee bit of fiddly stitching. So, since I haven't been able to knit for a while, getting this cast on just right i's all I've been thinking about. I've been imagiknitting it in my head for days, but never quite getting it right. This morning, the pieces all came together and the needles in my head clicked.

Holy smokes! This method is totally tubular!!!!! Love it, though it is more a PITA than long-tail, once you get used to it, it's totally worth it. The edge of my Bramble hat is GORGEOUS! Way better than all that waste yarn and complicated ripping out of other tubular CO methods. This is def. in my knitting arsenal now :D Thanks so much!

I like this video, but I wish she would zoom in on her hands and the stitching a bit more......

I'd just like to thank you for posting this. I have been going crazy trying to find a way to do this while avoiding just what you list: working first on straights, having the twisted stitches, etc. BRAVO! I'll hopefully be doing this very soon on a project.
