Excellent, precise, easy to see, appreciate the soothing voice, no distractions, nice background contrast, very well done, thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

[@yarn-and-garden]

Wow! I already love this cast on, but getting rid of that little slip knot bump makes me fall in love with it all over again. This is some yarn genius! Thank you!

[@normabyrd274]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial! It was so difficult following other videos demonstrated in Continental style. Trying to convert it to my English style made it so difficult, I had to do it over several times to finally make it work properly for me. If I'd followed you in the beginning it wouldn't have been such a struggle. Saving your link in my computer file, and subscribing!

Thank you, Norma!

[@shortcake180]

Fabulous! Perfectly explained. Thank you Edit: I just finished the toe boxes for a pair I just started. I didn't expect it to completely solve the ears problem. Bonus! 🥰

[@jackyc3po86]

Thank you, I’ve been struggling for no reason until I saw this.😅

[@victoriakingsland3300]

This is brilliant, thank you.

[@patriciaespejo7889]

You make it look so easy. You certainly explain and show the stitches so that it is easy to follow.

[@coleenh1028]

wow that was so much easier! Thank you so much!

[@deschats]

Volume is very low! I had to turn it all the way up to hear.

[@carolinehoward4018]

You are a genius ❤ thank you X

[@dees350]

Thanks for the video. Works perfectly.

[@nancyhughes386]

So awesome!

[@nikkiseashore]

Thanks, you explained this perfectly 😊

[@nicolakerrison]

Thank you, this is a great thing to know. However - note to others, it might be more accessible if you already know the standard Judy's magic cast on.

[@intersect360research4]

I do have a separate video to teach the standard version of Judy's Magic Cast On, at kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGmTZWiubtWUhKMsi=cJ-3Nk5VbkSeSXDG

Hi. I am finding this really difficult even though i am an experienced knitter! The part i am finding difficult is using the yarn. am I using the tail of the yarn to cast on or the yarn from the ball of wool or both? I can't seem to get the yarn in the right places.

[@DeviousKnitter]

You are using both the tail and the yarn from the ball!

[@ooohlaa13]

tried external speakers, earphones, can hardly hear you!!! too bad looks like a good teaching!

[@andreamiller6200]

How would you adjust this if casting on to 4 DPNs (and using a 5th DPN to knit with), say 4 stitches cast on to each DPN? Do I just have to take care to avoid ladders when I move to the next needle?

[@DeviousKnitter]

I suggest casting on to just the two needles and moving stitches onto additional needles as you knit the first or second rounds.

[@sharikremer4018]

Great tutorial, But Idon't know how to count them. I need to cast on 12 stitches. Do I count the stitches on both needles?

[@avrilbritten9989]

I’m sure you already got an answer but it would be 6 on each needle :)

[@DeviousKnitter]

Yes, if you need 12 stitches total, you would want to have 6 stitches on each needle.

[@fulanitoqtimporta5528]

Tks!

[@nelidadupas3875]

Love your name! Fulanito que the importa! Very clever

[@satsumamoon]

Thanks

[@sandi5276]

thank you!

[@mellomakes]

Ummmm where'd that third needle come from 🤷‍♀️

[@ruthie4773]

You are working with 2 circular needles...4 needles altogether

[@sducote6806]

I can't tell how you're doing that

[@fumbleknit719]

If seeing it in slow motion would help, you can change the playback speed. Look at the bottom right edge of the screen. Just to the right of the CC (closed caption) icon there's an icon that looks like a round gear. That's for settings. Click on the gear. When the new little window pops open, click on the words PLAYBACK SPEED. Choose the speed you want--up is slower, down is faster. Click on your choice. (OR, if you want a more specific speed, click on CUSTOM SPEED and slide the slider left or right.) Then click on the video again to start watching.
