I'd only done a garter tab cast-on once and someone else helped me pick up the stitches. I managed to combine this with Lola's Pick Up Line for the easiest every garter tab cast-on!! Thank you!!
Brilliant! I always had such trouble with the fiddly pickup of those stitches across the cast-on and this was so smooth and clear - MAGIC - thank you!!
I think this will get me over my garter tab block. I have wanted to make shawls but if they started with a GT I would balk. It never made sense to me. Thank you so much!
I like this SO much better. Thank you. Also, a small knitting needle Or tapestry needle works great for picking up purl bumps if you have no nails like I do.

So clear! I have an Itbe Shawl kit waiting in the queue and this will help with the garter tab start for that. Thank you.
Oh, wow! This is so much easier than the standard method! Thanks for sharing & thanks to Kristin for showing it to you so you could share it!
Kirsten is the best!

Oh, true that!
Yes. Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks, makes so much sense any easier!
Can you tell me the benefit if a garter tab to start shawls, vs casting on 5 or however many? Thank you.
It gives a lovely round start instead of a flat stretched out line at the top center!
Brilliant! And only slightly tougher than giving birth. 😂
LOL!!!
