Happy New Year. I love the long tail cast on and have used it for many years. I do wrap the yarn around the needle to figure out the amount of yarn. However I only wrap 10 times and take that measure and fold the yarn on itself times the number of stitches I need. For example, take the tail size for 10 stiches, fold it on itself 5 times and you have the tail size for 50 stitches. Much faster than wrapping 50 times.
That is exactly what I do. Excellent explanation !
I do the same! I've also learned not to stress if I end up with a little too much yarn in the tail!
Same here -- and I add a little extra 'just in case.' :)
Exactly what I do too, plus a little extra ‘for luck’!
Me too
This episode was soo helpful with the quick "fix" of not having enough yarn to cast on all my stitches! I cannot tell you how many times I have ripped out and started over in anger at myself for not having enough because there have been so many. It usually is less than 5, which is the infuriating part.
I was feeling a little unsettled this morning with all that is going on in our world today. The virus has reached members of my family this past week. They are all feeling better today. 🙏
When I saw you had a new video, I started your video and immediately began to feel lighter. Your videos always make me smile! 😊I’m sure this is true for others who watch your podcast. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills!🥰
Happy New Year 🎈
Happy New Year Julie and we hope your family members will be fine.
My two favorite adorable Scandinavian Princes have returned!
I've missed you both terribly.🥰
You are so lovely together, two people who love each other & enjoy each other’s company, everyone would be blessed to have a relationship like yours 💜
Sooo stoked to learn the hack for when you don’t have enough yarn to finish casting on! I’ve been knitting for over 40 years AND owned a yarn store, and I never heard of this before. Thank you!
You are welcome, we are never to old to learn new hacks!
I miss my mornings with coffee watching you both baking cookies. That was one of life's little but big things. I hope you will find a reason to bake more cookies for us this winter :)
I love hearing stories about your parents and the things you learned from them. It would be awesome to also see pictures of them. 💖
😊
Unraveling just gives you more knitting joy for your yarn buck!
Great video and super comments. Saying “I dare you” is root of “Playing chicken”. Calling yourself “chicken” is a way of saying “I am not daring”to do something from gambling on finishing a row with a questionable amount of yarn to asking someone for a date. I had three chicken episodes this week, lost all three. Love you both.
May be somebody already mentioned this BUT... I recently discovered that casting on for a circular needle it is actually better to put the tail over your thumb when casting on. I alway had a problem with making the connection. And now I found out this works better. Just cast on the stitches (with the tail over your tumb) separate the stitches in half. Let the loops al point up and Bob's your uncle (and yes, I know you both don't like the magic loop... but hey... I'm just sharing)
Thank you so much for this. In all my years of knitting with long tail cast on I never thought about joining more yarn like this .I always took it all out and started again. This is so much easier. As always you guys are brilliant and saved the day.
Boy. Do you know how many times I recast back on after I realized I didn't have enough yarn for the cast on . Thank you so much for this video 🤠
You are very welcome!
By site
Love your embroidered cloth on the table, lovely to see old needlework used.
Thank you!
“There’s no shame” in starting again. I love that. Happy new year.
Gentlemen, after watching your demo (and excellent advice) for the long-tail cast-on, several times over, I'm finally able to do it! Thank you!!
Congratulations!
Right there around the nine minute mark where you show how to add on enough extra stitches when I didn’t cast on enough is brilliant. Thank you!
You are welcome!
I Don’t Need to Unravel- what a life saver! Thank you so much for this tip. God bless you both.
You are welcome Linda!
I’ve missed your comical banter and hope to see you again soon.
I taught myself to knit from a book when I was about 12 years old(haha, with pencils because I didn't have needles). It was very specific about everything -"you must do it this way only!". Like many north american knitters, I was extremely dependent on written patterns. Thankyou so much to both of you for teaching us to use our instincts and to just DO the thing without overthinking it. I have always loved knitting but I find it so much more enjoyable now that I have learned some things from you. I knew the longtail cast-on but found it frustrating to run out of tail yarn and having to start over. I watched another video where Arne explained a different way to continue and it has relieved so much stress. it's now the only cast-on that I use.
Love that you used pencils, so creative!
The long tail cast on is the way my mom taught me to cast on stitches. Watching this video was like coming back home or going back to my childhood. Knitting is just so much more than just knitting, isn't it?
Memories and traditions!
I have lost count of the number of times I have torn out my cast on stitches because I didn’t have enough yarn pulled from the ball of yarn. This very slow knitter is very grateful.
I really love this episode. I have unraveled so many projects because I did not have enough yarn. My cat goes nuts when I do this. He thinks it's a toy for him. Now I know that I can break off yarn from the other loose tail of yarn, and add it in. What a great timesaving tip. Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
Lovely to see you back Arne and Carlos, Happy New Year, you had me laughing in the very first few minutes about Arne’s shirt. Missed you guys and looking forward to another fun filled year. Thank you for the tip on adding on if you run short with the long tail cast on. Take care.
You are welcome!
I can see it snowing outside your window. How beautiful. I have my Grandmothers needles too. 🥳
I am so very happy seeing you this morning. You two make my work day and I look so forward to seeing you wonderful guys everyday! I hope you have a wonderful week
Love this hack to stop worry about having enough yarn for my cast on 🙏
Love seeing your mom's stash needles.
Thank you for demonstrating the cast on tips with thick bright yarn. Made it very easy to see what you were doing.
Thank you for your feedback!
I knit my stitches on to my needles. I find that easiest for me. Glad you are back.
So happy to see your smiling faces again! Can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to :)
Hi Arne and Carlos good to see you both I have all my mum's and grandmother's needles to I'm sure you will treasure your mum's Carlos ❤thank you for the long tail cast on advice I love Arne matching with the curtain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣have a lovely week 😘😘
Like, like, like "yarn chicken" but my chickens 🐔 got offended. Thanks so much for this mood lifter lesson.
Thanks for the tutorial. It‘s the cast on method I use the most and so did my mother and grandmother. I also usually eye ball the tail, but for a lot of stitchesI start with a loop made by the two ends of a ball of yarn or two balls. After casting on all stitches I cut the unneeded end - you cannot run out of yarn that way. If You like cast on one stitch more and open the loop, so you haven‘t a bulky knot at the end. You might also mark every 50 or 100 stitches with a removable marker or a piece of contrasting yarn. For socks knitted with 2.5 mm you can measure the tail with a 20 cm DPN - 1 needle length makes around 15 stitches (I always add a little more for safety).
Arnie I agree. I don’t mind unravel and knitting again. I love the knitting part.
What a simple solution to a common problem! Good to see you again!!
Good to be back!
This was how I was shown to get the correct amount of yarn for the cast on. Take 1 needle and wrap around 10 times if you need 30 for the cast on. Now take the yarn off the needle (to be used as a measuring tape) and measure 10+10+10=30: Now you have the amount of yarn to use for cast on. So if you need 210 Drs for
“Once you know how it’s easy”. Love that!! Now I am on the 3rd Christmas ball and it makes total sense to knit with 5 needles! I never thought I would get there. It’s easy once you “get” it!! 🥰
Thank you for this explanation ,this really helps this novice knitter.
That’s a good tip about running out of yarn when doing long tail cast on. Now I know too!
You guys make my day . I always look forward to what’s new with Arne and Carlos .
My first thought this morning: Yay, is Arne and Carlos day!
Sitting in front of the fire with a yarn project while watching the snow fall is one of my favorite winter activities. And now I know I cast on correctly 😉
Yay!
When I was a little girl a dear old Swiss lady showed me how to knit. Her cast on was the long tail and she knitted like Arne does. I can do both without looking at what I'm doing. I now am almost 80. Still knitting and casting on the same way. Love it. Thank you!
You are welcome!
So good to have you back online. So looking forward to sit and knit for a bit. Take care.x
Great to see you two again! Hope you had a wonderful and restful Christmas-New Year season. Both of your mothers have given a great gift to the world - you two gentlemen.
So nice to spend a few moments with you! You have been missed! ❤😘
I had to watch the beginning again for the laughs. Muchas gracias! Arne, you have many shirts that I like, including this curtain shirt. I also do not mind redoing the cast-on, even if it is for several times. I never want to waste any yarn. I see Arne continuing to cast on at the end of the video. He just loves the process.
It is almost like meditating
You have made the l.t. cast on the easiest I have seen. Thanks.
Yay!
Love Arne matching the curtains!!
😊
So nice to see your faces again. Love the tip on what to do if you run short on your cast on. I’ve never seen that before. Yarn chicken usually refers to running out of yarn for the whole project.
This has been so helpful, I am a new knitter and I didn't know I didn't have to recast on! Thank you so much.
You are welcome
Hi Arne and Carlos! Thank you so much for demonstrating how to solve the problem of running out of yarn during the long tail cast on! It has happened to me many times and I began all over again! Now I know I don’t have to! Carlos, your mother’s needles are lovely. Years ago they didn’t have circular needles and the straight needles were very long. But still, they belonged to your mother and I am sure very precious to you! Thank you and I hope to see you soon!
Such a delight to see your cheerful faces again! And I learned how to save the cast-on when I lose at yarn-chicken!
Thank you! That bit of information about cutting the yarn and finishing wth a new strand is one of the best I've ever heard in my 82-year career of knitting! Wish someone had taught me that years ago. Although I'm not easily frustrated with knitting, and although I'm resigned to ripping out and starting over, it's so much nicer to start out with a happy heart.
I hope 2022 blesses you with good health and all good things! (And not just because of the knitting tip.)
Happy New Year Frances!
THANK YOU !!!!!!! Do you know how many times I have started over counting because I didn't have enough yarn? And then there's the times when I over estimated how much I needed and ended up with way to much of a tail which is a waste of yarn!! Good Lord........no more of that nonsense for me now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
What a great tip about adding in a second yarn on your cast on. So great to see you two doing so well.
Thanks so much for the tips and hacks! I especially loved the beginning of this episode with Arne blending in with the curtains!
Good to see you back. I don't knit,but I love to watch the two of you and all of the things you do!
Nice to have you back, Arne Carlos....I’m AlmOst 60 and never tried this !!!! It makes so much sense!!!!🤣so easy!!!....all these years unraveling 😂🤷🏻♀️🇲🇽
Happy New Year! Loved watching Arne’s nimble fingers do his magic and Carlos’s calm and clear narrative.
Great to see you back!....Happy New Year!
Nice to see you guys! Thanks for the lesson about running short on yarn when casting on! Brilliant!
Welcome back! Missed you🥰
Happy better new year! So happy to see you so happy.
Happy New Years to the both of you, and the pups as well.
I love that tip when you are short of yarn on the long tail cast on! I will be using that for sure versus restarting again..
happy knitting,
Lisa
Happy New Year. Great to see you back
Arne and Carlos, thank you for this demonstration! I haven’t quite mastered it yet! I’ll keep trying.
Welcome back 😊 thank you for the great tip of adding more stitches ! ❤️🇨🇦
So nice to have you back starting with laughters.🤣🤣🤣 Lovely also to see the snow through the window in the background. If you have that kind of ball where you can knit from both ends, and you don't mind weaving in one more end, you can do the long tail cast on using both ends, one on the thumb, the other one on the index. That way you always have eactly the amount of yarn needed for your cast on. I use this method when I have to cast on many stitches
Thank you for the tip Nicole!
Happy belated new year. This episode was very helpful. I forever misjudge the length of yarn I need, now I know how to get around that problem. Thank you, thank you.
Happy newyear arne and Carlos,,,happy to see you back ❤️❤️🥂👍
Happy New Year gentlemen! Loved the blooper at the beginning 😃 and nothing is more comforting than knitting with your mom’s old needles, no matter how long they are.
Yaaay you’re back. I’m looking forward to seeing different cast ins and when they’re used.
Very happy to see you hope you had a good holiday. I love the long tail cast on, I learnt it from you on an earlier episode and use it all the time. It's interesting to see the hack about wrapping the yarn round. Thank you for a fun and informative video xx
Yes you are genius. Thank God I have found you! I got the knitting magazine today, announcing your yarn with Rowan. I can not wait to try it! Thank you for being Arne and Carlos!
Thank you for supporting us!
Love the backdrop, the snow, beautiful embroidery and the lovely curtains. You videos always bring me joy!
So glad to see you back, brightening a gray rainy day! While watching, I cast on (long tail cast on!) for Synnove sweater. Today's video inspired me to get out the needles & get going on this project!
I always use the long tail cast on. Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you for sharing the long tail cast on. As you said Practice, Practice, Practice. I have been doing a lot of that lately.
Happy New Year to you Arne and Carlos! So glad you are back on. Love your humour and I always learn something of great value from you. I will now try the wrapping trick when I cast on my next project. Thank you!
Great cast on hack, I’ll try it as I often have too little or too much yarn. I also love Arne’s shirt AND the lovely curtains lol! Tak for making me smile. Be well, Sally 🌹
Happy New Year to you both, and hope you had a lovely break. Great to see you back on TH-cam. I learned to knit the British way from my mother using the thumb cast on, which is very similar to this long-tailed cast on.
Hello everyone, so happy to join you on your podcasts
You guys are great! I’m going to try your method of measuring yarn next time I cast on; the spacing thing is what I need to work on, so thanks for that tip too, Arne!
I love provisional cast on with crochet hook, now I want to try this!!! So good to visit with you guys after the holidays!!!! You inspire me!!! God bless you both!!!
Forgot to say … loved loved loved the trip videos. I learned so much from your content. The ladies’ dedication and knowledge was inspiring. Hugs
Happy new year good to see you back hope you had a great Christmas
Arne, I totally love some of your floral shirts! Very good knitting methods. Great!
Thanks for the tip. I have run out of tail before I've finish the cast on. This tip will help big time. Thank you again! I love you guys! ❤️
Love this cast on! It is my favorite also!! Thank you for the demo of adding in yarn when I run out during my cast on. I am so looking forward to trying the hack of determining how much I may need to start. I have unraveled so many times because I didn’t choose enough for my cast on! Great basic video. 👌🏻
Happy New Year. Thank you for the laugh and the tip. Good to see you.
Nice to see you back!! I got the Christmas ball book for Christmas!! Can't wait to knit them! I learned something new today, thank you!
Glad to see you guys
Great to see you both back, happy new year. Ah yarn chicken - lost count of how many times I've played that over the years 🤣🤣🤣
Happy New Year, Arne and Carlos!! May God always keep the two of you safe; the world needs your presence in these difficult times. You are a place of relaxation and refuge for so many. Let's go 2022!! Much love from Canada!
You always have good tips. thank you. I always use long tail cast on.
