Thank you, AGAIN, Suzanne! You've made these two techniques so easy to understand, both visually and descriptively. Off to cast on another shawl. Thank you!
That's wonderful, Christina, I'm happy I could help 😊!
I am always amazed how a 3 stitch CO can grow into a massive shawl! I love the provisional CO method and I do mine onto a short cable circular, too. Love it, Suzanne!
Yes, it is amazing isn't it. So simple, yet so complex. Thank you!
Another great video! Thanks again for all you do for the knitting community!
Thank you so much! Have a great knitting day today and always.
Just amazing! You have such a comprehensive knowledge base. Your explanations are so easy to follow and love that you explain how the process works at the end. I usually use a crochet hook to pick up the stitches from the garter tab, but I'm going to try the provisional CO the next time.
Wonderful! Please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and share my videos with your friends. Happy knitting.
That provisional cast on is slick. Thanks
Thanks.
Hooray ! I finally figure i ou by rewatching your provisional cast on tutorial over and over 7 times and listen carefully about knit one extra row soooo on. Sure it's a blessings to have a teacher like you willing to share your professional value.Agan many thanks, wha a teacher you are.
Glad it was helpful! @W Cashmere, have you ever thought of taking my Bootcamp Classes?
Since watching this tutorial of yours, I just ignore the written instructions now for the beginning garter tab of top down shawls and use your provisional cast-on method. The result is beautiful, no "knit-zit" from the slipknot and when you have worked your pattern, and you have sewn in the tail, the cast on it totally just as beautiful as the rest of the shawl. The provisional cast-on looks identical to the stitches for every row, which is what I want.
Thank you so much for your incredible explanation.
My pattern actually has a 4 stitch tab with the edge stitched slipped beginning of each row. Very nice with your method. When working a lace shawl, they are very beautiful. They are a knitter's masterpiece and it is nice to make it as mistake-proof as you can.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Fantastic, Suzanne! Thank you once again.
Thank you too!
Gosh you are so clever. Who would have thought this would have been so easy. You are amazing, please don't change that habit. Thank you for sharing.

Hi 👋🏽 I just discovered Your channel today!!! And this has been a wealth of help to me.
I did my first tab with no flaws and I’m working on the simplest shawl just eyelets in the middle.
I haven’t knitted since I was around 10 almost 60 now
I’m going to subscribe because I’d really like to learn again.
Now I’ll be learning from among the Masters of knitting!
Thank You🦋💙
Wonderful! You will pick it back up easily. Happy knitting.
Awesome❗clearly explained and illustrated. Thanks for sharing🌹
Happy knitting!
Thank you for your clear options for a garter tab. I can see now why it works as a cast on for some shawls. I have a shawl I want to knit that begins with a garter tab, and I’ll have a go at each of these to see which works better for me. Thanks, again..
That sounds like a good idea, try them both and see which works best for you! Thank you, if you haven't already subscribed to my channel, please do and share my videos with your friends. Happy Knitting.

Wonderful!
I happy for the information now learning to used the cable needle and also to do garter tab cast on so i thank you.
Thank you and Happy Knitting.
This is genius!!!! Thank you so much . I was very frustrated with other methods because of the irregular stitches from the cast on. This is so uniform and tidy. Video very easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful! Happy Holidays!
@@SuzanneBryan Thank you and a healthy holiday to you too. Looking forward to having another Christmas.
Thank you. I'm still a fairly new knitter and you explained this so well.

Amazing! Thank you very much for your tutorial!
Thank you Лайли Султаналиева! Happy knitting.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Thank you for making this video. It was very helpful of you to physically point out the garter ridges, I was having a lot of trouble identifying them. I do appreciate that you noted that the original cast on stitches can be hard to spot. These are both things I was having trouble with and they were hampering starting my project. The provisional cast on was interesting option. I have bookmarked this video for future reference.
That is perfect Marion Adam. Happy knitting.

Большое спасибо. Замечательный рассказ.
Thank you. If you would like to subscribe to my channel, it would make me very happy.
I've struggles picking up stitches on the cast on row. I think the provisional may work better for me. Thank you for the suggestion and very clear video.
So glad to be of help! Please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and share my videos with your friends. Happy knitting.
Great video, and wow does it come in handy!
Glad it was helpful!
I'd like to say that the second method is one that I've tried before with casting on. Quite frankly I don't have any complaints about it 😊
Thank you for using a needle to point out the stitch to pick up. Now I can clearly see what you are doing.
You are very welcome Carol Stefan! Happy knitting.
Thank you so much!!
How does the garter tab function in a garment? I’m sure there is a reason we don’t just cast on the stitches. Love your videos. Thank you so much.
Garter tabs are used to start triangular pieces of fabric, most commonly shawls. Great question. I hope you subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. Happy knitting.
HI Suzanne, he pattern do suggests using provisional car on .Personal I find a long tail cat on is so much easier to identify he stitches o pick up. I'm jus worry here will be a bump as you have shown in he previous urial. Always grateful for your professional divided. Much appreciated,
You can use either one, they are interchangeable. Let me know how it works.
Does the provisional cast on superior to Long tail cast . in the finishing product? Regular cast on is so much ease
It is simply personal preference. Try both on a swatch and see which you prefer.
Why would you choose a provisional cast on though? Would you want live stitches at the cast on edge when done?
You may not have seen the part of the video where the live stitches are worked. You can see that at 8:40 in this video if you want to take a look, again. Personally, I prefer the provisional method. Thank you and happy knitting.
Knitting with Suzanne Bryan, thanks for your reply. I did see where you used those stitches to pick up, but I guess I thought provisional was only used when you want to have live stitches to knit in a different direction, for example. Like to add a border, etc. So now I am learning that isn't always the case - sometimes it is just personal preference, if I am understanding correctly. Thanks!
Provisional cast ons can be used for all sorts of things. As an example, tubular edges can use provisional cast ons and they go in just one direction. Isn't knitting fun? There is so much to learn. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Take care and happy knitting.
Hi Suzanne, I love your videos and I am planning some lace knitting this year. I will share your videos to my knitting and new knitting friends. I have a question on which method you use for the garter tab. I like the look of the provisional CO method. Thanks again.
Take care,
Kathy
I use both, sometimes I like one better than the other. Thank you and happy knitting.
👍
Thank you!
Suzanne please explain to me what these means if I knit 20 row how can I be picking up 9 stitches. The instructions goes like.Using Provisional cast on 3 st and knit 21 rows.Rotate he resulting garter tab90 degrees clockwise and pick up 9 st along the side of the garter tab skipping the first st.. Remove waste yarn from provisional cast on and pick up he resulting
3 stitches on your lest needle.Knit hem you end up with 15 stitches on your needle? It all jumbol up for me.Thanks so much
I think you got it. You are going to be picking up from each garter ridge. a garter ridge is made by two rows. Good work.
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks for your encouragement.
Please tell me the pros and he cons of provisional co vs: lon ail cast on. hanks
For this particular project, it is just personal preference. I like the idea of the cast on being invisible.
Thanks for your answer, As always clear and to the point.
My pattern said Garter Tab cast on 3 stitches using provisional cast on and knit 21 rows . Rotae the resulting garter tab 90 degree clockwise and pick up 9stittches along he side of garter tab. Why do the pattern required to knit 21 rows when you only kai 6 row. Knit 21 rows does not make into 9 stitches i will be 10 stitches , please clarify for me. Thanks
The last row you knit is still on the needle, so you really can't pick up from that stitch, you have to go to the row just below for the firs pick up.
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks for he explanation.
😀
Thanks a lot.
"nice little garter tab" made me think about Bob Ross, the painter, who often used phrases like "happy little trees.... Happy little bushes... We don't make mistakes here - just happy accidents".
A pity that he passed away so early.
Happy Knitting.
