Thank you so much for this. My grandmother helped me start a scarf and I never finished it. She died years ago and tonight I watched this and finished the scarf she helped me start. It was bittersweet, but I'm so grateful to have watched this video. I didn't know how to case off before this.

[@mariafelicio1071]

The same happened to me but my grandmother has alzheymer so she can't knit anymore. I'm sorry for your loss 💛🙏🏻

I realized, after I started the cast-off row, that I was actually doing a crochet slip stitch. I switched out a crochet hook for the right needle, and AMAZING! So much easier!! Now, I’m sure that is very unconventional, so I apologize if I just cause more confusion. I just thought that might be a fun experiment for crossover crochet/knit people 😁

Just did the cast off on my tiny project. The most stress I've ever been in to this date. Definitely messed up in the middle where I confused myself 10x more than I already was but continued nonetheless to the last stitch which was the embodiment of stress. By then I had already wiled my shaky hands twice and somehow managed to pull through without messing up once again. The stitch isn't nearly up to standard but it works and I'm proud of myself. Definitely would recommend practicing casting off on a tiny knitted material instead of going directly to your project worth a few months.

[@parasitic.morality]

i still don't understand what's going on at 4:15.. every time i pull it through it just falls apart, not secure at all. is that supposed to be forming a knot?

Just finished making my first wash cloth for my mother, worked out great!
