Hi @nancy Morgan, the starting a Musselburgh is what led me to this video. When you are using this to cast on the initial 8 stitches, are you pulling up 8 loops or doing the pull up a loop then do a yarn over as shown in the video? Thank you 😀
I watched the video at least 10 times: before finally pausing and taking copious notes. I ALWAYS come back to your channel when I need to learn something new.
I was rewatching this and forgot how much I enjoyed watching and learning from this video. I wish I could press the "like" button a bunch more times to show my enthusiasm!
I always turn to Suzanne Bryan's tutorial videos when I am about to learn something new, as I find that Suzanne, by far, provides the best tutorials of anyone I have come across so far and if I am ever asked to explain a technique, rather than me explaining and missing a step, I tell them to do the same.
Thank you thank you thank you. I have spent the entire day trying to start a pi shawl and could not get it. Your cast on and two needle method are the best. I think I can finally do this thanks to your instructions. Your turning the work and using cues like working position and resting position just make so much sense. You are a wonderful teacher.
The highest compliment I can pay you is to let you know that 95% of the knitting tutorials that I have saved to my "Knitting Reference" playlist are by you. 😊
Thank you, for your marvelous videos as yes, you teach technique but moreover, why it works. It is knowing the “why” of how it works which helps one to do what they have in their own minds.
I got me one of the 'Cast on, Bind Off' books you suggested in another video. This cast on is in it, but it's so much easier to understand in your video! Thank you 😘😘😘
Thank you for another great video. Other people who post videos for knitting should watch yours and learn how to do them. When I've tried the double ring before I gave it up and took the tail through the stitches to make it double. I will keep working on it. You made it much more clear how to do it.
Hi Suzanne - after trying this technique 20 times, I finally got it down and I just love it. You’re a very good teacher and I appreciate you doing these tutorials. Thank you 🙏 (I wanted to learn this technique to do a knit top down hat with a pinhole top and it’s coming out nicely)
I use this technique, too! I was crocheting with this double-loop long before I learned to knit. You always get a nice, tight foundation row for any circular piece using it. (Granny Square, Doily, Hot Pads, etc.)
Thanks! My favorite glove pattern is a thumb down pattern. This works so much better than a provisional cast on. One less step and fewer ends to weave in
This is a fantastic cast on and great video! I tried the single loop last year and ended up making the double loop for structure. I don't understand why anyone would start the center of a pi shawl any other way! Thanks for so many videos that bring my skills to the next level.
I'm speechless. This is so beautiful!!! And the way you show and explain your technique, it appears to be so easy. As for me, it is a mission impossible to create such a beautiful shawl. You are a master knitter !!! 👍👍👍👍
You can do this too. As the old saying goes -" How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." The same applies to knitting, just keep challenging yourself and you will be a master too. Happy Knitting!
Thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you have become a subscriber to my channel and that you will share my videos with your social media friends. That is the biggest compliment you can pay me! Thanks and Happy Knitting, Suzanne.
After two cast ons...I was hooked. Susanne, you are the 'bees knees'! I'm itching to get myself a set of longer circular needles, using really short ones at present. 🙋🏻
Thank you Kathy Burns! Happy knitting. Be sure to check out my new channel for live-streaming - Suzanne - Off the Cuff ruclips.net/channel/UCQBgFUvQzjz1RUm9NsgEA1A
شكرا جزيلا، بحثت طويلا عن هذه التقنية و وجدتها في قناتك. كرم كبير منك و شرح مستفيض . موفقة في اعمالك و جهودك، اشتركت في القناة و شاركت الفيديو. الى اللقاء
Suzanne. please never stop doing tutorials. You are my go-to instructor. Do you have a complete pi shawl pattern to continue on after the 72 stitches point?thank you. I'm glad you're back. :) Kathleen, Canberra.ps. i start workiing from home this week because of the Covid19 virus :(
I don't, but you just double the stitches every time you double the rows. calculate the total number of stitches you have and then find a design that will fit. For example if you have 144 stitches, find a design that has a 10 or 20 stitch multiple and it will fit within 140 stitches. You will have to make your increase to 140 to make it work. In a PI shawl, those 4 stitches will not make a difference visually.
I guess I am taking baby steps. The tutorials that I am doing are like mini books. So it is a start. You are so kind. Thank you for all of your support! Happy knitting.
Good Afternoon from New Zealand, I have been watching the Lace Series and must say that I am impressed. Thank you for your efforts. I remember hearing somewhere which lace needles you like on a video, but can't remember which one. I remember that they have a good flexible cable and pointed tips. Could you please let me know exactly which needles you use? Both normal needles and dpns and the circular needles. Many thanks in advance. Lynne
Hi. Thank you for this great tutorial. If I wanted to use the magic loop w one extra long cable and one circular needle instead of using two smaller cables would this still work?
So nice, Mrs. Bryan. You are a great teacher, same another language. Do you speak Portuguese? I'm thinking about how is the main purpose of the knitting project shawls, how create a pattern of shawl? Of course, Mrs. Ocker had a gorgeous and divine inspiration about the knitting pi. A question: should I knit with 2 points needles the start? How I knit a sock? After I will pass to a circular needle. I think about it! Sorry, mine mistakes. God bless you and yours hands. Thank you so much for your video.
Excellent tutorial, Suzanne. My mother has asked me to make her some round placemats, so I will be putting this to good use very soon unless I decide to use short rows instead. I've tried projects with a central CO before (usually just playing around with ideas in my head), but I didn't know about the double wrap so I'll definitely make use of that. When I've done flat circular projects before, I had problems getting a whole circle's worth of stitches onto my needle, but I didn't think to use 2 needles. That would have to work better. :) Can you also use dpns for this, or are circular needles strongly recommended?
DPNS also work great. Thank you! I hope you have chosen to subscribe to my channel and that you will share my videos on your social media groups such as FB, Ravelry, Pinterest, Reddit, etc. Happy knitting, Suzanne.
This is wonderful and so easy to follow! Thank you so much for lending your expertise. I'm new to circular knitting and attempting my first pi shawl. At what point can I transition to a single circular needle? Is there a trick to doing so?
I use double pointed needles or two circulars until I can comfortably fit the stitches one circular. You don't want to stretch the stitches to fit around the circular, they need to travel freely without stress.
I have always wanted to do a PI shawl but was a bit intimidated just because of trying to start the center. Now I see how it could be done. Already know how to knit with two circulars as I am, at this moment, finishing two socks on two circulars so I understand what is happening. Thank You Ever So Much. I do have a suggestion. Could you interperet what is happening on this knitter's German channel? It is called Nadelspiel *Stricken&Hakeln mit eliZZZa. She knits some wonderful sock patterns but it is all in German. I watch and I watch but don't always quite catch what she is doing. Maybe you can see what is happening and give a write up of what she is doing. Just an idea. I have asked her if she could do some of her patterns in English. She did two or three almost 6 years ago.
Hi Suzanne! Great tutorial, thank you! Your method is valid to CO an odd number of stitches. I want to CO 10 stitches (or 8 stitches, or other even number). What should I do? Kisses to you 😘😘
I have two groups, one on Facebook and one on Ravelry, both are called Knitting with Suzanne Bryan. Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.
So the second cast on can be tightened again and again, but the first one doesn’t necessarily tighten up? I just started a top down hat with the first cast on and there is a definite round of elongated stitches which I couldn’t tighten (or maybe I waited too long?
Hi Maureen, it depends on the stickiness on the yarn, the more the yarn catches on itself the harder it is to tighten. Smoother yarn needs less tightening. And of course, swatch to confirm. Good luck! 😊
Hello again, i see many shawl patterns that I would like to knit, however they are often an asymetrical shape.Is there a way to convert the lace into a crescent or triangle?Hope you can do a turorial, if so.Kathleen, Canberra

May I ask how many you recommend I cast on for an adult size hat? My goal is to start out with two circulars then transfer all stitches to one circular.
You can use the magic loop method if you want. I don't yet have a video on how to do magic loop, but you can Google it and find a good video or two. Happy knitting.
Out of all the videos I’ve watched for the circular cast on, this one made the most sense to me and I use it when knitting my Musselburgh hats.

I prefer Hiya Hiya Sharps for my circulars. For dpns, I like Signature Stilettos, currently I don't use straight needles much.
Hi. Thank you for this great tutorial. If I wanted to use the magic loop w one extra long cable and one circular needle instead of using two smaller cables would this still work?

You can cast on any number of stitches. Try it on a swatch first.

Looks like you can easily just use magic loop, much less chaos than having two sets of circular needles
Hi Robin. It's always a matter of personal preference; I'm just sharing possibilities.
I like very much this video

That same circular cast on is used in crochet for similar outcome.

Pinhole cast on is much easier with a magic circle and a crochet hook.
