I like the explanation about casting on straight, then knit onto the circulars. Thank you, Norman, for clear lighting so it is easier to see, for the stitch details and yarn that shows detailed stitches as you teach.

yeah, it took a while to optimize the yarn, needles, light to get these results but I am very happy with my setup now :)

I used the Italian cast on for a pair of gloves. It made me dizzy, but when you explained the stitch that was made for each cast on, it made so much more sense to me. Now I won’t get lost. Great tutorial as always!

Thank you for ALL of your videos! I love this cast on ~ you made it easier to understand then the other video tutorials regarding this cast on. I had not seen the alternate way to cast on & knit from the front, now I can see why to knit from the back leg.

awesome...the cast on is super easy IMO..but rather complicated to explain in an easy way. So..happy I got through to you! :)

NO sacrificial row?! This is a revelation to me! I learned the tubular stitch in Italy and there was a entirely different technique of uneven cast on with scrap yarn different color, knit, slipstitch, knit, which would be offset by the uneven number of stitches starting the new row in perl!!! After 3 or 4 rows of Knit, or perl slip stitch knit or perI, I then was taught to cut and unravel the sacrificial first row. I am going to try your way and hope it is elastic enough for the leg warmers I want to make as a gift. Thank you

@nimbleneedlestwo 3 ай бұрын

well, you CAN achieve the same effect with a provisional cast-on (as you demonstrated). I personally find it much to bothersome and prefer this method - especially as it looks exactly the same :)

@tessa5 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, this is very clear! Am I right in thinking this would be a good cast-on for a sweater knitted top-down in the round, starting with a 1x1 ribbed collar? Have you already done a tutorial for the right way to graft the stitch for joining in the round? I saw a couple of your grafting tutorials, but am quite new to knitting, so I'm not sure which I would have to use. Thank you for your help!

@johnkcrossman 9 ай бұрын

Norman. Thanks for the great video. At the end you say you will have to “graft on one stitch” to join in the round. Does this refer to your usual joining technique of slipping the last stitch onto the first and then essentially casting one off? Or is it some other technique?

@nimbleneedlestwo 9 ай бұрын

no, you actually need to graft a stitch. I am reasonably sure I did a tutorial once where I showed this towards the end...but I forgot where...lol!

@bsfb3ar 7 ай бұрын

Norman why you tubular cast on do even while I saw other looks like bitted by a rat. What is your tips? Thanks for sharing all you works like it is cut by a knife every stitches like made by machine.

@nimbleneedlestwo 7 ай бұрын

hm...no idea really but going down a needle size or two really helps!

How do you then join in round?

@nimbleneedlestwo 3 ай бұрын

I recommend knitting across one or two rows flat and then join in the round. Graft a stitch to hide the gap.

@Maighread. 3 ай бұрын

@@nimbleneedlestwo Ok so I learned that in order to join in round I need to cast on one extra stich, is it the same rule for italian cast on? Sorry for all those questions, I'm totally new to knitting and just trying to learn from your wonderful tutorials ;D

@siminaschrafi7197 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Norman i love this video .quick question if you want to cast an even amount of stiches and then start with a 1x1 rib with ktbl .what can you do ?i feel I'm almost getting it but i don't 😅💙

@nimbleneedlestwo 2 жыл бұрын

i am not sure I understand the question. I mean..the italian cast-on doesn'T create twisted stitches, obviously. but why not just simply knit across? i mean..i haven't tried this yet, but you could, of course, manually twist each knit stitch before your ktbl it. Not sure how this will look like. as an alternative, you can also start with a provisional cast on. knit two rows of twisted stockinette stitch across, fold the little piece in half, and slip the stitches on both needles to one needle and start your twisted rib.

@cinthias87 Жыл бұрын

Hi Norman, i have a lot of space between each stitch. I didn't hear you mention anything about using a smaller needle. Seems like I'm going to have to. Was wondering if this ever happened to you or if yoi have any recommendations. Thanks!

@nimbleneedlestwo Жыл бұрын

well, this really depends a bit on your individual tension, gauge of your projects, etc. But yes, a lot of people find that going down a needle size helps a bit.
