@mz6958 hi sorry do you by any chance know if you can make a closed edge cast on this way or with any kind of rag and ravel? When I take the ravel out its just loops that unravel and need to be knitted..am I doing something wrong. The lady who made the video isn't able to understand what I am saying.
It saves you having to wrap a string around each needle which I have a fine guage machine and it's the hardest part. If you use rings you can just slip them off when you're finished too which means you'll be easily able to cast it off. It is a pain that it will be an open cast though. I like the closed cast but it is so bloody hard to do.
@MadonnaDesigns you mean wrap the e wrap after the waste yarn? Would that put two yarns on the needles for the first row? How will I seperate the waste yarn should I also do a row of the string? Sorry I am only a beginner. I've watched lots of videos but they don't explain how I can make it a close cast on with the rag or the waste yarn so I have ended up with the waste yarn stuck to the bottom of my peices like a trim. I did wrap the waste yarn in e wrap because its easy with the waste yarn but the fine guage machine I have the yarn for making the jumper I want to make is very thin and fiddly to get it wrapped around the hooks and when I try to cast on without a scrap yarn it just misses stitches. I also cannot find a fine guage cast on comb anywhere to keep the first row of stitches down even if I do get them wrapped ... so my first vest has got the waste yarn still on the bottom hem lol!
Wow I think you just solved the biggest problem I’m having learning how to machine knit!
@@diana-lc1 I have used them for years on my Circular Sock Machine. I thought…why not try this.
@MadonnaDesigns oh great idea! 👍
this is genius thank you sooooo so much for sharing!
@mz6958 Thank you for watching. We are redoing my craft room, so I am on hold for making videos. Can't wait to start back. I miss you guys!

@@Padraigp Hey, yes you can!
- Hang the edge of your cast-on rag
- Knit 1 row of ravel cord
- Hang weight
- Cast on (closed cast on)
- Remove the rag
also the 3d printed things your husband made look great
@mz6958 They are nice thank you. You can find the download on thingaverse.
@@MadonnaDesigns oh amazing! thanks so much
I am trying to figure out why you put the metal rings. What were their purpose?
They are easier for me to place on the needles than the knitted loops. It takes me less time. Hope this answer helps.

Is there any way to do a closed cast on with rags or does it akways end up as open? Thanks.
@@Padraigp use waste yarn after the rag. Then wrap the working yarn.

@@MadonnaDesigns that's so much for your help
@@MadonnaDesigns thanks so much for your help.
@Padraigp Sorry, I didn't see your question until today.
