Brilliant tutorial for a very new knitter like me. At 53 they say it’s harder to learn new things but this has really helped! Thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Not being confident casting on has kept me from starting projects. Your instructions are so clear and your voice is calming. 😘
I'm so glad you found it helpful! ☺
Perfect! Great visuals & instructions. Thank you for listening to your viewers questions so much that you make videos as professional as this. Have a great day. Blessed be.
Thank you! 😊
Saving this to refer back to for sure! Thank you!
Omg love ur video🥳. Very useful as beginner like me. Im a crocheter but wanna learn so much on knitting. N my fav method is crochet cast on 😊
All my life I've only ever known cable cast on (I never knew it was called that). After about 15 years of not knitting I was searching youtube for patterns and saw videos where people were casting on differently. Now I know how many different methods there are! Thanks for this video tutorial, it is all clearly explained and so useful. I really like the look of the crochet cast on but haven't tried it yet.
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Brilliant. Thank you for this tutorial. Excellent.
You're welcome!
Very useful video. Thank you
Great video!! Thank you
Thank u i felt u gave the best instructions for casting on and i really appreciate it❤
You’re welcome 😊
I am not a beginner knitter, but I enjoyed your video and found it helpful. I have been wondering why the long tail cast on is so often recommended in knitting patterns. I find it easy to work, but I'm rarely happy with the result and usually go back to a knitted cast on. I realized, after watching your video, that I'm probably working it too tight. I like the cast on edge to match the bind off, so I usually do a bind off to match the knitted cast on, like Elizabeth Zimmerman's sewn bind off. I think I will try the crochet cast on as an alternative after watching this video. I can tell that you are a patient teacher and love your craft!
Thank you, Deborah!
The German twisted cast on is not just more decorative than a standard long tail cost on. The extra twist gives just enough added stretch to make it great top down socks.
Very true!
Great video, thank you for the clear instructions🧶
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my I've never tried the crochet cast on, that is awesome!
I'm going to try it, thank you for this overview!
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice summary and demonstrations. I know you’re not a thrower, but I think it would be helpful to demonstrate how to do the knitted and cable cast ons by throwing, in addition to picking. Good for you for learning a new cast-on in response to your viewers! Your demo of the German twisted cast-on is really good. When I was learning it, there were very few good demos for the last movement. Your camera work was stellar in showing the entire process.
Thank you! I can knit with my right hand but it's not my go-to for teaching demonstrations - that is definitely something I need to work on!
LOL! I have no idea how I learned it, but I use the German Twist almost exclusively! Didn't even know there were more than two techniques! Ha! Thanks for the video.
Well, the others should be easy if you already know the German Twisted! 😁
I always used German CO it is very stretchy but I don’t like the thick edge I like the look of Italian CO but can’t get Around it.
When I first got into knitting a few years ago, I somehow ended up on Russian knitting Instagram. I do not speak Russian 😅 But between the auto-translate function, the very thorough videos, and the charts, I've found some super pretty stitch patterns - and some very decorative cast ons! My favourite is translated to "French cast on", but I have no idea what it's called in, you know, any of the languages I actually know. (I don't know that all the posts are Russian, but they're all in Cyrillic script and the few I did look into closer were Russian (one lady has a shop in Moscow), but who knows - they could be a wild mishmash of languages and I'd have no idea 😅)
Decorative bind offs are much harder to find, though, which is a bummer when I want to knit a top-down blouse but I'd also like the pretty decorative hem. Maybe I just need to look up what the Russian term for binding off is and search for that...
🤣 I'm laughing because my Instagram feed is also filled with Russian and/or Cyrillic script knitting stuff - and I LOVE it - so many fabulous techniques and stitch patterns. I've tried a few charts and, once you figure out the symbols, they aren't hard to follow!
@Nerdy Knitting I found a few guides to reading the patterns online, with the symbols translated. And, of course, there's always Ravelry if you get really stuck.
I'm Kurdish-Swedish but learned to knit in English via TH-cam, so I don't actually know Swedish terminology (or Kurdish, for that matter). I started knitting a Swedish sock pattern and got stuck on the very first line - I had to google what the cast on method was 😂 (it was a basic long tail, at least, so nothing too mysterious).
It does get confusing to try to talk knitting with my mom though - she knows it all in Kurdish and Turkish, and more Swedish than me at least, but I only know the English... and now I'm starting to learn Russian charts before English ones, my brain is a mess 🙃
Oh, my! That's multi-lingual learning in action 😆
I prefer the normal knit cast on
