Thank you for this stretchy cast-on! I can do this one and still remember it weeks later!

[@handsoccupied]

You're very welcome!

Hi, thanks for sharing, lovely clear video but very difficult cast-on. Getting those knots to sit close is very hard. Had to repeat many of them that were too far apart. Took ages!

[@ibahart3771]

I love this cast-on, but making it exactly like this hurts my left hand so badly. If anyone's in the same boat as me, check out Alexis Winslow's Slip Knot Cast On tutorial - it results in the same cast on but for me it's easier. Thanks, Hands Occupied!

Firstly, I'm sorry to hear you were in pain - I deal with arthritis pain, and it's not pleasant.

[@gabrielle4152]

Thank you! I did it about 4 times and already my thumbs hurt like hell. I will try the method you suggest!

[@momrow10]

I’ve been looking for this cast on for several years. A friend taught me but I could not recreate it. Thank you

[@mizsherm4352]

Thanks so much, yours is the first tutorial to show me how to do this.

[@gigivallee95]

Thank so much for this great tutorial. Now, I am able to execute my project using your method! Well done!

[@handsoccupied]

I'm so glad it helped!

Tried the German twisted cast on and couldn’t do it, then I found your video, and bingo, so easy to do, Thankyou

[@handsoccupied]

You're welcome!

[@soapturtle]

Thanks for this! It enabled me to get my knots aligned correctly.

[@handsoccupied]

Glad it helped! The knot spacing/tension is probably the trickiest part on this cast-on.

thank you! This worked.

Con mucho cariño 😘 tiene que ejecutar más y hablar un poco menos. Por lo demás está todo lindo. Saludos desde Chile!

[@handsoccupied]

Gracias por los comentarios, es útil a medida que aprendo a hacer mejores tutoriales. :)

JHC!

[@heatherwinter4238]

Sorry, but a good tutorial is one where I do not have to slow down the playback speed to actually see what you are doing..

[@handsoccupied]

Guess it's bad then. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@gabrielle4152]

The image is clear, she's taking her time, she explains and shows every move a few times... To me everything is crystal clear, and I'm a beginner. In this case I don't think the tutorial's quality is to blame for your having difficulty.
