Thank you for that I might have switched the channel

Thanks so much, Thea! 🙏🏻❤️

You’re very welcome! I hope to see more of your great tutorials!💕

This cast on should work well for that! 🙌🏻

Thank you!

Yep! and the "unzipping" at the end is so satisfying.

Excellent question! You absolutely can do this. However, a potentially easier trick I'd suggest in addition to using a larger needle for the cast on would be using a cotton or acrylic yarn. If you're knitting with wool, for example, it can act kind of like velcro, sticking to itself and potentially making the provisional cast on process harder. You mentioned you're using fingering weight yarn, and not everyone has fingering weight cotton or acrylic laying around. Another tip can be to use dental floss instead of yarn for the provisional cast on stitches. It sounds funny, but I'm serious! You can also use dental floss when placing lifelines in knitting. (This works because dental floss won't catch on your yarn like yarn catches on itself.) Come to think of it, this might be a good a topic for a future video... 😆 Thanks for the inspiration!

@@handsoccupied Thanks for replying so quickly :) As it turns out, I did, by chance, choose a slightly heavier weight synthetic yarn for the provisional cast on but I wouldn't have thought about the stickiness of wool on wool. I LOVE the idea of using dental floss for life lines and will also try it next time I do provisional cast on. I found this method of provisional cast on so much easier than picking up stitches from a crochet chain.

If I'm understanding your question correctly (let me know if I'm not), are you wanting to know what to do when you reach the end of your project? If so, I have a video here on joining the ends of a provisionally cast on knitting project that could be helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ra-KiKuVp522mIE.html

That is helpful feedback - thank you for being polite. I truly appreciate it. :)

Hi @kaycee . i will try to tell you what provisional cast on is good for - but its hard without ability to add attachements to show images: Provisional cast on stitches are used in knitting for projects where you want to be able to work in both directions from the cast on edge. Here are the main purposes and benefits of using a provisional cast on: Seamless joining: It allows you to join two pieces of knitting seamlessly, like when creating a folded hem or attaching an edging. Double-sided work: It's useful for items that need to be identical on both sides, such as some scarves or shawls. Easy unraveling: The stitches can be easily unraveled to expose live stitches, which can then be worked in the opposite direction. Toe-up socks: In sock knitting, it's often used to start toe-up socks, allowing for adjustments to the toe shape. Sleeve adjustments: When knitting sweaters, it can be used to start sleeves, allowing for length adjustments later. I personally have used this video for kitting a hat that has folded rib. i started wiht the privisional stich, knitted 10 cm rib, folder th erib in half, unravelled the provisional stiches to connect the folded edge and continue jnutting the upper part of the hat in my case, provisional stich helped not get a THICK edge, which i woul dhave had if i cast on tradionally, but have free stices that i knit to gether with the front stiches and continue knitting. sorry if this is hard to understand wihtout images, but. hope it helps a bit
