I love how slowly and clearly you explain this. As a beginner I need a detailed explanation like yours.

Thank you very much! Although I have knit for many years I've never used this cast on and am just staring a pattern that calls for it. Your tutorial was the best one I found! Just goes to show you can teach an old dog (me) new tricks.

Thank you! Been having various troubles, mostly with unevenness, with my regular cast on method. This looks great! It looks like it gives the same edge as my cast off, which is an added bonus. Now I can make the scarf I had planned. It has a border of a single row of star stitches on a stockinette background and a main body of slip stitch cable. Should be perfect for my friends in the Navy as it is reminiscent of Stars and Brocade, which is what I am calling the pattern 😁

Hi Kristen! I've been an avid crocheter for over a decade and would shy away from knitting because I kept hearing how hard it was. Well... I needed a new challenge and I'm happy to report "I LOVE IT" I find it most helpful to watch your videos and see your sweet smiling face (sometimes being silly) and hear your nice voice making the stitches cheerfully jump on my needles! Thanks for all you do...please keep them coming

Sharon I too am an avid crocheter and felt exactly the same intimidation about knitting, but I just love the look and durability of knitted hat and apparel so I decided to attemp to learn to knit. My husband is a hunter and wanted hats every year due to the crochet stretching out. A friend suggested knitting doesn't do that and I should learn. I am trying, but have found out that it is a whole new kind of Carple Tunnel lol. I am trying though!

@EtienePiresOficial 8 жыл бұрын

Thanks!!! Now I can understand more patterns! Could you make a video one day explaining about yarn? The types like "worsted" yarn, etc;? I know it mighty be easy for many people, but sometimes I don't understand how they classify yarns... What the classifications mean. I think this would be a very quick video :) Thanks

Hello, Etiene!! Absolutely!!! You have the best knitting video suggestions!! I'll put it on my list!! Hope you are well!

@EtienePiresOficial 8 жыл бұрын

+Studio Knit well, I think there are many videos online but none of them really explain things like you do. For example, about the yarns, sometimes we see a nice pattern, but the requested yarn is not available for us from the UK. And then I need to adapt the pattern. I never know how to do that. Because I don't understand about gauge that much! I don't know how to measure the gauge. You should make 2 videos... 1 about types of yarns, and another one about gauge, how to measure, what it means and how to adopt if it's possible. It also help you to keep recording videos with helpful and wonderful tips!

I don't know the knitting lingo but I am almost finished with a 2x2 ribbed scarf that I began with a cable cast on like shown in your video. I cannot for the life of me find a video or site explaining how to mimic the cable in the cast/bind off and I want both ends to look the same. Do you have any advice/videos/links for the cable bind off? Thanks!

@lindatenga6195 Жыл бұрын

Do you suggest casting on one extra stitch, then knitting the first two stitches together, or slipping the first stitch, knit the second and slip the first over?

@UKPurplePanther 3 жыл бұрын

Studio Knit.... can you please advise me ? I've seen videos showing this cable cast on, and there is often a slight hole / looseness at the start and the end. I've then seen videos that show tips on how to avoid these issues. Do you get any looseness with your cable cast ons ?

@spikemom2003 8 жыл бұрын

This may be a stupid beginner question, but I have noticed that in most double needle cast ons you always twist the left needle to the right side of the loop to be put on it instead of just bringing the right needle up and slipping the loop over onto the left needle. Is there a reason the twist is important?

Great question, +spikemom2003 - I think it holds it's shape better that way. But, really, whatever works best for you, go for it!
