I don't know why y'all think this woman is a good teacher. I'm confused (and a little insulted) by her silly metaphors and her use of so many DIFFERENT terms. I've been watching for only two minutes now, and the needles have already been referred to as a hungry bird, as a blonde and a brunette, as the hands of a clock, as a light and a dark, as a bottom and a top ... PLEASE, woman, choose one term and be consistent!

@knittahoochee I wish you had phrased your comment more tactfully. There is no need to be insulting, especially when you don't understand the presentation. We knitters are a funny lot, and most of us are tolerant, and kind and try to be persuasive. It gets us further than spending the time to post thoughtless comments.

This is a great video for demonstrating a great technique. But I have to say that it's REALLY entertaining after a few too many glasses of wine. "Hello Thumb!"

Hi Cat...Great video. I looked thru all the comments for an answer and couldnt find it. Is this only for socks? I need a provisional cast on for a loop scarf that will be joined later. Would this work? If I need to cast on 22 stitches would that be 11 on each needle or 22 on each? Also, I would need something thing to hold that first row of stitches until I am ready to join, correct? Sorry for all the questions...=)

If you need 22 sts for the width of the scarf, you will need 22 sts on each needle. You could leave a string through the 22 sts that will be used later.

After you cast on, did you distribute the stitches among more than two needles so that you are working truly in the round? That's what came to mind when I read your comment.
