How To: Cast-On Bullion Circles

[@debbiegallett1125]

That was good. Now I know how to properly tack it down so it doesn't show. It is these tiny little tips and tricks that make such a difference that you can't get from a book or diagram.

Hi Ariane! Wow! I am enjoying binge watching your videos and learning many new stitches along the way! Thank you for clear instructions, that are easy to follow. I am a beginner, so my journey has just begun. Your stitching is amazing! Love your process. Happy Stitching! Samantha

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Hi Samantha, I'm so glad! That's wonderful. ❤️

Love your work. This is the type of stitching I do - I’ve never had any formal training, in fact I was thrown out of needlework at school for being so useless (and naughty!]. I had no art training. It wasn’t until I was in my early 40s that I started to explore creativity and now I work mainly with textiles. I’ve made it my mission not to do anything in straight lines! I am so glad I stumbled on your channel. Now I’ll have to go backwards and forwards to make sure I see everything. xx

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Wonderful!

Love these will definitely try some. Thanks for showing what they look like in different threads. Xxx

[@robynreid3027]

It's gorgeous. I'm going to add it to my current project. Thank you!

Wonderful. They're such a beautiful way to add texture and interest. Try different threads too as that will change the look!

[@jeanmansfield1138]

I've only done these couronne type loops on my ring sticks - as tree foliage on a needlelace landscape the first time. Your bullions way is fascinating and can probably be done more easily with the thicker threads. Thanks.

[@ArianeZurcher212]

It was so nice to meet you and see you yesterday! Try these and tell me what you think?

[@jeanmansfield1138]

@@ArianeZurcher212 I wasn't expecting to be seen! I enjoyed seeing some of the others though and thoroughly enjoyed myself☺. So thankful after all your attempts we got together. I will have a go trying out the bullions.

@@jeanmansfield1138 I think I finally found the cause and hopefully fixed, so next time it will be a live stream as this one was supposed to be!

[@debbieferri3062]

I love this stitch. thank you for sharing. Would you mind showing me how to twist the cast on? I am casting on, but the stitches are turning on my needle.

[@ArianeZurcher212]

I thought I explained this in the video. It’s how you alternate the stitch from one side to the other. I’m traveling at the moment but be sure you watch the entire video so as to see where I explain how to avoid that.

[@sarahnichols1656]

Are the cast-ons the same as for knitting sometimes?

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Yes same concept!

[@traceymills9469]

Do you find it easier to work without a hoop?

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Yes, definitely. For me a hoop causes me more challenges than it’s worth. I much prefer stitching without.
