Brilliant! First demonstration of the German twisted cast on I have mastered. Thank you for the clear demonstration!

[@beverlyhess611]

I’m loving how you thoroughly explain w/o rambling on and on! It makes things so much easier to grasp! Thank you!

[@LauraNelkin]

You are so welcome! I ramble on in my lives and try to get to the point in my knit tips! Glad you like!

[@beverlyhess611]

@@LauraNelkin I like the rambling in your lives! So just keep on doing it the same way! Thanks again!

Thank you for this tutorial. I have purchased your Craftsy classes and watch them over and over. I, like many others, am a visual learner with a slight learning disability. Step by step visual instruction is key for me. Thank you again for ALL your hard work in making these videos available. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Oh, you are so very welcome!!!! I am thrilled we have the set up to do this!

[@communitygardener17]

This cast on is a treat to learn. I wonder if it can be used for most things.

[@DQDebra]

Thank you for this! You have taught me so much!

[@LauraNelkin]

I'm so glad! I love sharing my knitting skills with y'all!

[@janalarsen8168]

Wow, this is what I've been doing for years. I thought it was just a regular long-tail cast on! haha

[@glendaharrison2343]

So… this is a little more challenging for us English knitters, but it can be done. I had to try it a few times before figuring it out, but I measured 4 lengths of the swatch rather than 3 1/2… I think my gauge towards the last few stitches may be tight, but I’ll measure the middle to see how it goes. But this may prompt me to try Continental again… at least for some projects! (Still like this technique!)

[@LauraNelkin]

So glad you like it!

[@jjnewcomer4745]

Very nice thank

[@glendaharrison2343]

This looks amazing, and I am going to try it right now. But I do have a question; I have been making my gauge swatches about five inches like you recommend, but I’ve seen people measure over two inches rather than four to get stitches per inch. If you are only measuring two inches of the swatch, then wouldn’t a four inch swatch be large enough?

[@darialay3472]

I love this, thank you! I've been doing this soooo wrong!

[@LauraNelkin]

You're so welcome!

[@elainebos]

Can you show how to do a purl German cast on?

[@LauraNelkin]

Maybe in another video! Good ideaa

[@debraraymer3386]

Are we going to be using a German Twisted cast on for Lovember?

[@LauraNelkin]

This was actually used in the Lolancha Mitts!
