Roxanne, this is Life Changing! I have never seen a good way to make sure a long cast on is not twisted before you join. There is nothing more aggravating than knitting a bunch of rows before realizing that your cast on of 200+ stitches is twisted...and then doing that several times in a row. 🙄 BTW, I did a quick test, and this method is easily adapted for a crocheted cast on, which I prefer for a provisional start. I am so happy - thank you Rox!! 💕💕💕💕

Looped cast-on?? GENIUS! Truly a game changer for me. The number of times that I have had to start over a long tail cast on because I either had not enough tail, or too much tail, even just this week? And it makes so much sense!

I like the idea of the thread to count and make sure the cast-on doesn't get twisted. Thanks so much !

Brilliant! I saw Patti Lyons describe using waste yarn to keep track of CO stitches, but this is slightly different, and, for me, is easier to understand. You’ve done it again, Roxanne! 😃

That's an amazing, simple idea. I usually use markers for stitch count, but I'm totally going to try the yarn now for that, and to avoid getting twisted up.

Neat trick with carrying a waste yarn to see if the cast on is twisted. It even indicates which way it should be adjusted. Can’t wait to try it - Thanks!

What a great idea with the scrap yarn (double duty). For me, when joining in the round I cast on an extra st and do a jog-less join. Truly enjoy your tips and advice. Thanks!

Wonderful super-useful techniques - thanks so much for sharing. My knitting has become so much more finessed after following your detailed instructions over the years. I have a couple of technique questions that I hope you can help with. 1. I am knitting a top-down raglan sweater and the yoke is increased by a m1l and m1r on either side of one stitch every other row. When I do this that stitch between the two increases gets pulled in and doesn't look even. What am I doing wrong? 2. I am working on a hat with three colors knitted in helical knitting. The point where the colors change isn't quite as seamless as I expected it to be. What could I be doing wrong? There isn't a lot of info out there on helical knitting. I did watch your video on helical garter stitch - and it's brilliant. Finally 3. Sometimes when I work k1, p1 ribbing there is a diagonal shape to the fabric. I can usually block it out but I keep thinking it must be something I'm doing that I'm not aware of. I am a continental knitter if that makes any difference. Thanks for considering these.

Very clever use of scrap yarn. I was wondering if the way the “tail” yarn was untwisting at your thumb would be an issue. I’m assuming it wasn’t since you didn’t address it? I’ve always used both ends of a ball to do the long tail CO, so that I wouldn’t have to measure, but I didn’t permanently attach them together. I tied a temporary simple knot, then undid it when it I was done, and weaved in the ends to secure the CO. I’m always a fan of reducing ends to weave in, though!
@RoxanneRichardson
@RoxanneRichardson 7 ай бұрын
The disadvantage of using two ends without joining them when you're working in the round, is that you end up with three tails in one place. Not an insurmountable problem, but less convenient than one end!

Very clever. I have used stitch markers to keep count, but that does not address the twist. I'm not fond of backwards loop cast-on, but it's probably because I need to think about its orientation.
@RoxanneRichardson
@RoxanneRichardson 7 ай бұрын
The direction of the twist doesn't matter too much for a single CO st. The technique of weaving in the tail hides it a bit, anyway.
