Circular Cast On Video Tutorial

Here's my first video tutorial: Circular Cast On 
You can use this cast on for both Quest and Centrino. 

Grab some scrap yarn and a set of double pointed needles and give it a whirl... 


Shooting video is a fun new challenge for me and I look forward to doing more of it in 2011! I can't wait to hear what you think...

  2. Nice! This is just like the adjustable ring for crochet. I never thought about applying it to my knitting!

  5. Awesome. I am a Magic Loop as opposed to DPN knitter but I may be converted especially for the cast on. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Nicely done! Easy to understand, well-photographed. Thanks for a very clear and easy start to a beautiful hat.

  7. Great and clear video technique. Would a slip knot have the same effect as the overhand knot?

  8. Thanks! It doesn't work with a slip knot because the thread that "slips" is not the tail. With this technique you use the working yarn to create the sts, and pull up the tail to tighten the circle! (I had to pull out some needles and try it!)

  9. Wonderful!

    I was about to crochet a circular cast on, and knit along from there, but now I don't have to go find my crochet hook. Huge time-saver as I haven't a clue where the darned thing is...

    Thanks!
