can I substitute a GSR for a weap and turn sitch in any pattern? for some reason i do better with the GSR then the wrap and turn.

Thank you for such a thorough video. This helps immensely!

Thank you! I've been knitting for over 50 years. This is one of the few things I've never been able to make look nice. Because of that, I just avoided anything with this type of shaping and never used it to perfec fit. Now with German short rows on the knit side and w&t on purl side, I'M FREE! I'm teaching my granddaughters to knit, and they love the little stories I make up to help them remember. So here's how I'll teach them this; Cat And Dog You are out walking looking for the dog. As you're walking you come upon your cat Stockings (St st). You bend over to pet him when you hear your dog Pearl barking! You turn around and go running across the rocks (purl bumps) until you find Pearl. You put on her leash but leave her there, tied to a post while you go back to get stockings. You walk and walk, "here kitty kitty". There's Stockings, 4 legs (& twist is his back). You scoop him up and take him home then you have to go back across the rocks to get Pearl. You are in a hurry so you just scoop up little Pearl puppy and continue across the rocks to her house. As the girls are growing up, they tell me that they don't think of the whole story after a while, but individual words kinda stick to remind them of key points. So they both usually stopped knitting during school months but started again in the summer. They remembered that Granny lives on Knitwit Way and the street sign is on the right going to visit her. They live on Pearly Place and going home the sign post is on the left. In this magic land it doesn't matter where you live, or which way you turn, the wind always blows from rt to lft. The wind blows your scarf or pony tail, your hair, right to left. Basically I just talk, make up stories giving a name and it's reference because you never know what will stick as a future reminder.

This was so very helpful. Thank you for the clear demonstration with explanation,.

This is an awesome video. You explain everything so well and not to fast. I will use this technique in my Artus Shawl that I am nearly finishing. I'm excited to use this I-cord technique.

Thanks for sharing, it really helps!

Fantastic video. So easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much x

Thank you!!

Very helpful

Thank you love the way you teach

Thank very much my lady I alway want to learn this so you make my day🩷♥️♥️♥️

Thank you so much for this video. This is a method I intend to use in the future.

I've never seen this before but I'm definitely going to try it. Thank you.

Hello - I really enjoyed this very informative video. One question: Did I understand you correctly when you said that for the German Short row on the knit side that you knit one stitch BEYOND where the instruction tells you to turn? I am trying to understand the math of it if with wrap & turn (purl side) you purl to the designated stitch but with the German, you knit one stitch beyond. I would so appreciate a clarification. Many thanks. And again, a wonderfully informative video.

Explained so clearly thank you

Where are German stitches used

This is a very well-presented stretchy cast-on method. It's the only one I've come across where I haven't felt like giving up because it all seemed so frustratingly complex. Thank you, thank you!

This 😅s amazing! So simple and effective.

Thank you. Your tutorials are so helpful.

Great great!! Love this new (to me) cast-on method! Thank you so much! 😊

This is great advice. Love seeing the end result. I get too confused with W&T ‘s. It s hard when patterns are written as W&T but I just keep very good notes. Tired of frogging, lol😂😅😊. I agree our results make a difference, and that practicing on a swatch is extremely important before trying it on a pattern.

just love this, my project would not be as nice without it. 👍

What a helpful idea..I wish I had seen this about a week ago, but will keep it in mind next time. Thank you! 🙂

Thank goodness you made this video. What a clear explanation. Thank you!

I can’t find that pattern

Have you used this cast on with magic loop? I tried using this cast on for a hat on magic loop and repeatedly had to rip it out because the cast on stitches got too tight to put back on the needles (from the cords). Does anyone have help on how to avoid this problem? Thanks.

Thank you for the very clear video. Can it be used for a 1x1ribbed collar of Top down sweater ?

Great video. I am at the shoulder shaping just using german short rows for the first time. I am not very happy with this on the purl end so will undo it this week and redo in wrap and turn. I really hope it looks better. Thank you x Debbie x

Could you show how to use this technique actually doing a heel?

This was brilliant! I don't think I would have been able to do this project without your video. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this. I love your words in the beginning encouraging us to use it as a regular cast on for so many projects. The video was very clear.

2 stitches cast on every time you work the manoeuvre. It’s so fast and easy.

Love this ❤

Thank you 🙏 this is the first time I try short raws and your video is the best 🌹

Thank you for such a clear explanation. I am using this to bind off most of the time now.

I’m German and I’ve learned the continental style.. But I still think that a crochet hook would make it even faster.. 😅 I love crochet. Still a knitting beginner.. 😂

for me the type of thread ang the type of needle determine also the stitch in the type used in knitting

Well done video and instructions. Thank you!

THANK YOU!❤️

This is the clearest video instruction on this particular cast on! Thanks for making it so easy.

Thanks for sharing! But what makes this an "even number" cast on? I can't see a reason that it wouldn't be fine with an odd number of stitches.

I love Tillybudy stretchy cast on. Is there any bind off method that as stretchy as this?

Like it

Your video is a sanity saver for this stitch. Purl Soho should comp you some yarn! Many thanks!

are you using two or one needle?

I thought I was doing this cast-on, but I don't twist the right under the left needle after pulling the stitch through, I just put in onto the left needle purlwise, and it works just fine for my socks.

Thank you soooo much what a great tutorial wow, this will help me a lot .

Thank you for demystifying this!

This is a great explanation...I'm doing the Purl Soho raglan too! This is a new stitch for me...love it!

I started the Lightweight Raglan Pullover from Purl Soho few days ago, and this video helped me a lot! Thanks!!!
