HOW TO KNIT: CASTING ON VIDEO

[@Rileywith2]

So glad I found your videos. I have been crocheting for almost 20 years. I attempted knitting once and couldn't get the hang of it. I am determined to learn it again. I have a lady on here that has crochet videos that have been such a HUGE help. As I get the hang of knitting, your videos are exactly what I need to learn more knitting stuff.

[@moderatorjustin6537]

and of coarse in all your detailed videos i made it my success actually i practice all basic knitting in 4 months...only by watching your videos thanks for being kind to all viewers of your video thank you once again, this is moderator Justin greetings from Philippines

[@suicidalsal]

I'm 20 years old, and I've been knitting for 4 or 5 years, but never learned to cast on and had others do it for me. No one ever explained how to in a way that I understood. After watching your video a few times, I can do it perfectly. Thank you so much!

[@Dreadwin]

This is incredibly helpful. I just learned how to knit a couple of weeks ago. Casting on was the hardest part for me to remember. I'm such a visual person, so being able to watch this has helped me considerably. Thank you so much. :)

[@stellarcreature]

I looked at several different videos for how to cast on & yours was the most helpful. The instructions were very clear and very easy to follow. I've subscribed & watched a few of your other videos & can't wait to try more stitches since I just started knitting a couple weeks ago. Thanks again!!

[@nikiichan]

Thank you so much for this video. My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was younger... now 18 it completely slipped my mind as to how its done. You speak clearly and explain well. :)

[@mimoshu]

Now I'm teaching my 19 year old son how to knit (well, actually YOU are)! We watch your videos together. Thank you so much!

[@music42380]

This is so much clearer and easier to understand than illustrations in books! thanks for the great video

[@chichironie]

Thanks for putting these videos up! It made it very easy for me to understand. I've tried other methods but with this one has become my favorite way of casting on.

[@laurajess5400]

honestly this is the best video, i have looked at heaps of them (since i had learnt it but forgot i was looking for the the same method of doing it, but no videos i found showed it) and then i found this one and it is amazing i was (literally) ecstatic. This video is good for beginners no only because it has a clear view of the stitches and how to do it but also because the instructions were very clear and simple to follow.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

so glad you didn't quit. please keep looking for new videos. I try to put at least one up every week. I'd appreciate it if you'd click on the ads. It helps in my standing at Utube. thanks and happy knitting!

[@jazthing1]

Thank you for this information video... I learned how to knit years ago, but haven't done it for awhile... I have just ordered some beautiful birchwood needles and have a scarf pattern to make using knit/purl.... I am exciting about re-learning how to knit again .... Thanks again... Out of all of the "How to cast on" videos, yours was the easiest to understand and follow... ~ Dee ~

[@loveisjustletters]

hello judy! just yesterday i began to knit and thanks to your videos i can now fully cast on. in other videos they wouldnt tell you how to keep the string taught so you helped me alot! i hope to be able to knit an afgan by my fifteenth birthday :)

[@bananaislandquilts]

You make excellent videos. I am trying to learn how to knit and to be honest I have learned more in your video than I did in a classroom setting! Bravo to you! Keep making these videos please. I also think it is soooo cool that you handmade items were used in movies etc.... You are truly very talented. :)

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Everyone has their own way that they think is the best. My way, which is how I learned, is easiest for me. Glad you found a way that works for you. Just keep knitting and enjoy it.

[@moderatorjustin6537]

thank you so much judy,for ,making all your most detailed video actually i have mastered all basic knitting, i made my first scarf,my first knitted hat,and the blanket and of course i made my very first knitted sweater, i have my flight to philippines wearing my sweater

[@littlejoan7473]

Aha! Watching this to learn a new way to cast on AND figured out what's been my problem all this time with learning to knit, TENSION! Once I wrapped the yarn on my right hand like you show, I got it. Big THANK YOU from a newbie to knitting.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

I'm glad to know my video helped you learn to cast on. I hope you have watched more and are enjoying knitting. Please like me on my facebook page if you haven;t already.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Glad I could help. This was the very first video I ever did and I'm thrilled that so many people have found it helpful. Please watch for new videos. I try to get one up every week and did put one up yesterday.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

This has always worked for me. I'm glad it worked for you too and glad you stuck with it till you got it.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Glad it worked out for you. Keep looking for more videos. Slowly they show up. happy knitting! Judy

[@no1midge]

thank you. your way to cast on is the easiest and cleanest way that ihave found to cast on. i look forward to your other tutorials.

[@FrenchFry2232]

This is awesome! I love this, I've watched so many cast on videos and this one s by far the best! Thank you! :)

[@abbeybrookekampel]

This is an awesome easy way to cast on and now I can knit whenever! PERFECT!

[@onepiecefreec]

Thank you! My scarf actually came out recognizable because of you! :)

[@girlsnone]

This is a great video. I prefer it over the other videos for learning to cast on. You made it simpler :)

[@melanieaudet]

Apparently I've been doing my cast on incorrectly my whole knitting life. Thank you so much for posting this video. Not only did you go slowly, but you also spoke nice and clear! :) Keep up the awesome videos!!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Actually there are different ways of casting on, but this is my favorite. Glad you like it too. Please like me on my facebook page if you haven't already.

[@luna1977]

Even if I have my own way of casting on that is easy, even if it is 20 years since I tried to knit, I think that this must come as a close number 2. Hopefully your videos can help me to find knitting fun. THank you

[@tink178]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge - also viewed your casting off video - your tips and way of teaching are the best i've come across. thanks again and best wishes.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

This makes me so happy. Keep at it!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

I'm very late in getting back to you and hope you're busy knitting. That was the first video I ever made and I'm so gratified to hear from so many people who like it. Now I have over 40 and I try to put up a new one every week. I put one up yesterday so hope you'll check them all out.

[@onecrazydaysee]

Great video and way better than the book I bought, wish I knew first that this was on KZbin! Thanks so much Judy, going to practice now and when I think I've got it, I'm coming back for the next one in your series!! A+++

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@mgoian glad you stuck with it and finally got it. please thank your knitting teacher for suggesting my videos and tell her I appreciate it. do keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Glad it worked for you. Some people just can't get it, but since it's the way I learned I find it the easiest. Good luck with your scarf. If you want to put fringe on it watch my video on that too. Happy knitting!

[@Aquamarine560]

[@barnettbecky]

I bought a book, didn't get it, and was ready to quit. Thank you so much! You made it look easy,

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. By now you're probably knitting like a pro!

[@BobbertLexus]

Thanks for your help!! This was the best (and easiest!) to follow!!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@nullquible90 glad to know you're knitting again. please keep watching.

[@Tamogene]

I have been trying to learn how to knit by a book. I just couldnt figure it out. This video was so helpful! Thank you. what's Next

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Thanks for writing. Glad I could help. Watch my other videos too, like the Knit Stitch and Purl Stitch, etc. There's lots to learn. Keep at it.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

I'm so glad you learned my cast on. Please do keep watching and do start a project. Have fun.

[@felixpuncrocoi]

Thank you for this!! This makes so much sense, I already knew how to knit and this is a lot like a knit stich, so It made sense to me! I meant to make a scarf and I cast on wrong and it ended up double in width haha.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@MsRootie glad the video worked for you. please keep watching. there's lots to learn. have you made anything yet?

[@1995wemsammnyo]

I like how you cast on this way. Very cool. Thanks for showing me!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Glad it worked for you. good luck with your fashion design and your knitting. Keep watching for new videos. I put one up yesterday. Thanks for your comment.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@LoveLara92 so glad you finally got it. practice a lot and soon it'll be real easy. you won;t even have to think about it. there is another video called CASTING ON SLOW VERSION. You might want to give that a look. thanks for writing.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@cooksalot1 This is how I learned to cast on when I was a kid. Only recently have I heard about lots of other cast ons and eventually I'll do videos for some of them. I just automatically use this one for everything. Thanks for writing and please keep watching.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@suicidalsal I'm so glad my video helped you. This is the way I learned to cast on and, to me, the easiest. Please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@theabnormal1 glad the casting on worked for you. hope you're happily knitting now. please keep watching and look for me on facebook.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@Jagera1000 glad I could help. be sure to watch my other video on how to do the knit stitch, then the purl stitch, then all the others. lots to learn. have fun.

[@caddog0sugar]

This looks a lot easier than another video I just got done watching. My fingers hurt so bad from trying to knit how that video showed me. I'm going to try your way once my fingers stop hurting so bad!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

glad I could help. keep watching. more new videos coming as fast as I can make them. Happy knitting!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Thanks for such a nice note. Have fun knitting and keep watching for more videos. Lots to learn.

[@theabnormal1]

@MamaPalma That may be true but as a beginner I've tried the easier methods and always end up casting too tight or unevenly (when I try to cast on quickly to save time). Taking the extra effort to use this method has given me a nice even row to start with that isn't too tight or too loose (like with the two-needle method). It's like Judy said - different methods work for different people. While I will still practice those, I'll be sticking with what works for me so I can move on in my learning!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@TheDibli I made another version of it called CAST ON SLOW VERSION. That might be easier for you to start with. Have fun knitting and congratulations on stopping smoking.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@1kassandra2 glad my video helped and hope you've continued on and are knitting now. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@branbranrhythmicgluv I was 13 when I learned how to knit, too. You'll enjoy it for years to come. So happy to have you in the knitting community. Please keep watching and learning. Look for me on facebook too.

[@frankieleftwich5310]

this was what I was looking for in order to cast on extra stitches to a piece in progress.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@SlytherinChild This cast on is the one I learned when I started knitting. I never knew there were others till recently. This is the one I use for most anything. I do like the picot cast on for baby things though. Thanks for writing and please keep watching. Look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@Deemom7 yes, and you don;t have to guess how long to make the tail. thanks for writing,
