Thanks! Super useful video since casting on with circulars would mean going out and buying circulars smaller than the ones that came with my set. And as an Australian living overseas I found your accent comforting, which I needed because this was frustrating and scary!

@tuttle88 Thanks for the comments. Glad to hear from an Aussie OS. All the best with your knitting.

Thank you for this. I appreciate your taking the time to demonstrate it so clearly.

@TabrisPhilangelus Glad it helped, I know it's a long video but you can't rush these things :)

[K2TOGAlbury]

Thanks, glad you like it, and the accent :)

Thanks Kate, you've got to have a sense of humour about such things :)

Having said that, you can always try just the cast on and first round on a circular, then change to DPNs if it proves too difficult.

Thank you so much for this! I use interchangeable circulars and - unless I buy a special cable - can't get tips small enough for sock knitting. I've HAD to use this method with DPN's. Every other demonstration has SAID it will make JMCO on DPN's easy, but has in fact made it look monstrously hard. The fact you've laughed and struggled along and - most importantly - been honest about how complicated that first round is going to be has helped me immensely! Now onwards with the rest of my sock :)
