thank you for that explanation. I've been trying to figure that out for a while and was getting very frustrated
-
Aha!! Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to get this provisional cast on for two days now and none of the methods I've tried have really worked for me. This one is clear, simple and easy to pick up.

this is brilliant!

Thanks! That also answers my question about what you were calling those stitches. It sounded like "dolly" stitches, or perhaps "Bali" stitches (I listened several times to no avail), neither of which meant anything to me. However, I do understand what you mean by "valley" stitches. Three cheers for the written word! ;-)

Lucy, for some reason, the PCO works for me, but undoing it never does....when I start to pull the waste yarn, it seems to be literally twisted around my live sts.... what did I do wrong??

When you work into the provisional sts somehow they are becoming twisted.
This could occur as you make the prov. sts, or you are twisting them as you knit the first row.
Possibly you are taking the p. yarn around the needle the opposite way? Do the prov. sts on the needle look normally mounted, with right leg in front ?
If they look odd, work them so that they don't become twisted as you knit them. You may need to put your RHN into the strangely mounted sts needle tip to needle tip.

If you are wondering why you have one stitch fewer after you pick up at the provisional edge than you had when you first cast on the stitches to begin working:
The answer lies in the fact that the "stitches" you are picking up are not really the original stitches: they are the "valleys" between the original stitches, of which there is one fewer than "hills" (the heads of your original stitches). If you need the original number back, knit into the little half-stitch at the end of the row.
