      Have you been practicing to small projects before you try this one? I am also a beginner and I wonder what are the other tutorials that I need to focus first to be able to make a sweater in the future.

    Thank you for explaining why you’re taking the steps you are - particularly bring the yarn from the front to the back between the last two cast ons - I learn better when I understand /why/ I’m doing something, instead of following directions rote.

    Triple thumbs up! Thank you so much. I'm working my first sweater successfully (four months of failure and yarn thrown in the trash) and I'm coming up on the top down sleeve on hold cast on part. I was getting anxious because of my lengthy failure history, so I found this tutorial and have immediate reduction of my anxiety. It reads more complicated than it actually is, in part because patterns assume you know what you're doing, which I clearly don't. I have a friend who knits and I can commiserate with her and she's been incredibly supportive. But she's not a teacher and doesn't live close enough to guide me as I'm knitting. Self taught is experience engraved in my wallet. 😂 I thrive on TH-cam videos, and still struggle. All of that to say, this video gives me hope and a new channel to turn to when I am distressed. ❤🔥💯%

    THANK YOU. You were the only video I could find that showed the cable cast on Purl-wise for under the arm. Everyone else shows it Knit-wise as a standard, even when they are working on the purl side. It never made sense to me. Then you will see the list of videos showing how they try to hide those additional purl bumps. YOUR WAY- takes all that additional work away. Much simpler to do it the correct way first- right? Right. Thank you again!
