  • thanks for the video. it taught me to cast on but everytime I try to knit it gets all loose. what do I do?

  • @MsLizzy2010 --2 things~ 1--cast on snugger. (sound counter intuitive!) 2--cast on 1 to 2 few stitches than desired. work R1, and a the yarn between the stitches get long and sloppy--twist it into a stitch, put that stitch onto the left needle and knit it!

    a simple cast on isn't the best cast on for LONG (100 or more) stitches--

  • I can't tell you how many times I've had to pull out my work or add more yarn to the loose end when casting on with a tail because I ran out of tail! this cast on will save much frustration in the future! thank you

  • Your voice is so calming. I tried this cast on and find it extremely hard to knit the first row. It seems backwards, the loops. I'm a new knitter so that may be why though. Took me forever to knit the relatively short row of co stitches. :P I'm not making anything really right now, just practicing so it's not a big deal. Thanks for this video!

  • i hate it. It tells you noting

  • thank you very easy

  • Thank you SO MUCH for teaching me to cast on! Your version is very easy to follow. Videos like yours make me want to learn more. Thank you again for your wonderful video! keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you so much! I've watched 5 cast on videos since last night and none of them made sense to me. I finally have a decent first row to start a scarf for my daughter. Your description is so easy to follow. Thanks again!

  • This was so helpful! The written instructions for a toe-up sock I was trying to follow said to M1 at beginning and end of row using a backwards loop right and a backwards loop left. This video gave me the visual I need to do both. Thank you!

  • I have tried to learn to knit for years. I could not cast on, so I gave up. I just learned to cast on with your video! Thank you!

  • after this do you just to the regular knit stitch?
