FINALLY!!! Someone who actually shows how to do it so you don't have to knit through the back loop! I've shown all of my beginning knitters that way as they always forget to knit in the back loop when I'm not sitting right there. Now I can give them a video to bookmark!
Thank you for clearly explaining the differences in how/why people wrap the yarn the way they do with this cast-on method. I had seen 3 different videos each with their own variation and was frustrated about which one was right, but you addressed them all here and now I can choose the one I prefer. Thank you!
I don't do my longtail cast on like this so I had to figure that part out and how to hold the yarn like that but I love the rest of the video. You always make things understandable!
Thank so much for this tutorial!! I have tried this type of cast on several times but just couldn’t get. This looks so simple. I’m definitely saving this so I can find when I’m ready!
Hi Norman. Great tutorial! Thanks for showing us all the different ways to do this as well as the provisional cast on. I don’t like a slip knot either. I also prefer to do this cast on where the stitches are all properly oriented, although knitting the first row through the back loop really is no big deal. Thanks again. Very thorough! Have a wonderful week!🤗😊
Omg! I am so glad I watched this. I could never figure out why after knitting through the back loop actually twisted the yarn up. Now I will retrain myself to do the third cast on method and be done with it. ☺️
So helpful to have the vaccine deo AND the written directions . Together they presented all the information I needed to do this cast on😄. Thanks Norman!
Love this cast on method. I once used it to make a small felted purse. It was like a big sock to start and worked great. I dislike grafting as I have trouble seeing if I’m doing the process correctly. Thank you for tutorial
I'm kind of beginner in magic loop and now want to try judy's cast-on. I was confused after a few video's because I saw people doing differnt things. You cleared that up !!! One thing I don't understand is the difference with magic loop when you do cuff down. You always pull out the back needle and knit the front needle. Here you knit the back needle with the front needle. Do I keep doing this all the way up to the cuff?
there is really no difference. However, you can hold your project upside down or knit it inverted. But that boils down to preferences. For some, one method or the old yields a better stitch definition and fewer ladders.
wonderful demo but you don't address when you start which finger holds the tail and which the working yarn don't know the "regular" way??? I am visually challenged to see mechanics, can you please say how you start in first example, where are each yarn strand? thanx for your help all thru the years!
Sorry for seeing this a bit too late. I always hold the tail around my thumb. THat being said, it doesn't really matter and some people will show you this technique with the tail around their index finger.
thank you I will wtch again with that in mind somehow I lose the rhythm and find two in a row on the same needle, the idea of alternate needles and alternate fingers somehow throws me . I had a great video by Knitting Circle but it is only for Premium members which I no longer am they said some kind of wording mantra with it so I didn't get lost.Your guidance is always helpful but this time still confused. I will practice it. thanx again.@@nimbleneedlestwo

Thank you Norman for the always great videos! I was wondering, would you be able to show how to do it on DPNs? I'd like to make some toe up socks but I just hate knitting in the round with circular needles! Thank you in advance 💖
but it's the exact same thing. I mean you just hold those two needles parallel and cast-on those stitches. ANd then, as you knit across you just join in a second needle when you reach the center. So you start with the same two needles and join in the other 2 in the first round.
Thank you, Norman! This looks great! I might be making it more complicated, but when I use this, am I counting just the stitches on 1 needle, or the total stitches combine on both needles?
Great tutorial! I have a question--would this work if I use the two circular technique for making socks? It seems like it would but just wanted to double check. Thanks
Where is the end of the working yarn at the beginning of the tutorial? Am I missing where we're told to use the end length for the top or the bottom? At the end of my making stitches I'm told the ball is supposed to be attached but that isn't what's happening so I assume I'm doing this with the working yarn reversed. Thanks for the info on how to turn to start the first row which several other tutorials omit and everything falls apart.
Hey, i try to knit the marseille sweater von Petiteknit. She is using the judy's magic cast on as provosional cast on. What happen then with the button needle? I dont understand how to knit the sweater with this technique:(
