This episode was soo helpful with the quick "fix" of not having enough yarn to cast on all my stitches! I cannot tell you how many times I have ripped out and started over in anger at myself for not having enough because there have been so many. It usually is less than 5, which is the infuriating part.
Happy New Year. I love the long tail cast on and have used it for many years. I do wrap the yarn around the needle to figure out the amount of yarn. However I only wrap 10 times and take that measure and fold the yarn on itself times the number of stitches I need. For example, take the tail size for 10 stiches, fold it on itself 5 times and you have the tail size for 50 stitches. Much faster than wrapping 50 times.
That is exactly what I do. Excellent explanation !
I do the same! I've also learned not to stress if I end up with a little too much yarn in the tail!
Same here -- and I add a little extra 'just in case.' :)
Exactly what I do too, plus a little extra ‘for luck’!
Me too
My two favorite adorable Scandinavian Princes have returned!
I've missed you both terribly.🥰
Thank you so much for this. In all my years of knitting with long tail cast on I never thought about joining more yarn like this .I always took it all out and started again. This is so much easier. As always you guys are brilliant and saved the day.
I miss my mornings with coffee watching you both baking cookies. That was one of life's little but big things. I hope you will find a reason to bake more cookies for us this winter :)
You are so lovely together, two people who love each other & enjoy each other’s company, everyone would be blessed to have a relationship like yours 💜
Sooo stoked to learn the hack for when you don’t have enough yarn to finish casting on! I’ve been knitting for over 40 years AND owned a yarn store, and I never heard of this before. Thank you!
You are welcome, we are never to old to learn new hacks!
Boy. Do you know how many times I recast back on after I realized I didn't have enough yarn for the cast on . Thank you so much for this video 🤠
You are very welcome!
By site
I love hearing stories about your parents and the things you learned from them. It would be awesome to also see pictures of them. 💖
😊
May be somebody already mentioned this BUT... I recently discovered that casting on for a circular needle it is actually better to put the tail over your thumb when casting on. I alway had a problem with making the connection. And now I found out this works better. Just cast on the stitches (with the tail over your tumb) separate the stitches in half. Let the loops al point up and Bob's your uncle (and yes, I know you both don't like the magic loop... but hey... I'm just sharing)
I have lost count of the number of times I have torn out my cast on stitches because I didn’t have enough yarn pulled from the ball of yarn. This very slow knitter is very grateful.
I was feeling a little unsettled this morning with all that is going on in our world today. The virus has reached members of my family this past week. They are all feeling better today. 🙏
When I saw you had a new video, I started your video and immediately began to feel lighter. Your videos always make me smile! 😊I’m sure this is true for others who watch your podcast. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills!🥰
Happy New Year 🎈
Happy New Year Julie and we hope your family members will be fine.
Unraveling just gives you more knitting joy for your yarn buck!
Right there around the nine minute mark where you show how to add on enough extra stitches when I didn’t cast on enough is brilliant. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Lovely to see you back Arne and Carlos, Happy New Year, you had me laughing in the very first few minutes about Arne’s shirt. Missed you guys and looking forward to another fun filled year. Thank you for the tip on adding on if you run short with the long tail cast on. Take care.
You are welcome!
When I was a little girl a dear old Swiss lady showed me how to knit. Her cast on was the long tail and she knitted like Arne does. I can do both without looking at what I'm doing. I now am almost 80. Still knitting and casting on the same way. Love it. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Love your embroidered cloth on the table, lovely to see old needlework used.
Thank you!
I taught myself to knit from a book when I was about 12 years old(haha, with pencils because I didn't have needles). It was very specific about everything -"you must do it this way only!". Like many north american knitters, I was extremely dependent on written patterns. Thankyou so much to both of you for teaching us to use our instincts and to just DO the thing without overthinking it. I have always loved knitting but I find it so much more enjoyable now that I have learned some things from you. I knew the longtail cast-on but found it frustrating to run out of tail yarn and having to start over. I watched another video where Arne explained a different way to continue and it has relieved so much stress. it's now the only cast-on that I use.
Love that you used pencils, so creative!
The long tail cast on is the way my mom taught me to cast on stitches. Watching this video was like coming back home or going back to my childhood. Knitting is just so much more than just knitting, isn't it?
Memories and traditions!
Gentlemen, after watching your demo (and excellent advice) for the long-tail cast-on, several times over, I'm finally able to do it! Thank you!!
Congratulations!
I really love this episode. I have unraveled so many projects because I did not have enough yarn. My cat goes nuts when I do this. He thinks it's a toy for him. Now I know that I can break off yarn from the other loose tail of yarn, and add it in. What a great timesaving tip. Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
Love seeing your mom's stash needles.
Thank you for demonstrating the cast on tips with thick bright yarn. Made it very easy to see what you were doing.
Thank you for your feedback!
“There’s no shame” in starting again. I love that. Happy new year.
“Once you know how it’s easy”. Love that!! Now I am on the 3rd Christmas ball and it makes total sense to knit with 5 needles! I never thought I would get there. It’s easy once you “get” it!! 🥰
What a great tip about adding in a second yarn on your cast on. So great to see you two doing so well.
Thanks for the tutorial. It‘s the cast on method I use the most and so did my mother and grandmother. I also usually eye ball the tail, but for a lot of stitchesI start with a loop made by the two ends of a ball of yarn or two balls. After casting on all stitches I cut the unneeded end - you cannot run out of yarn that way. If You like cast on one stitch more and open the loop, so you haven‘t a bulky knot at the end. You might also mark every 50 or 100 stitches with a removable marker or a piece of contrasting yarn. For socks knitted with 2.5 mm you can measure the tail with a 20 cm DPN - 1 needle length makes around 15 stitches (I always add a little more for safety).
I am so very happy seeing you this morning. You two make my work day and I look so forward to seeing you wonderful guys everyday! I hope you have a wonderful week
My first thought this morning: Yay, is Arne and Carlos day!
Sitting in front of the fire with a yarn project while watching the snow fall is one of my favorite winter activities. And now I know I cast on correctly 😉
Yay!
You guys make my day . I always look forward to what’s new with Arne and Carlos .
I knit my stitches on to my needles. I find that easiest for me. Glad you are back.
so glad to have you back ❤️❤️❤️
Good to be back
Great to see you back!....Happy New Year!
Happy better new year! So happy to see you so happy.
Great to see you two again! Hope you had a wonderful and restful Christmas-New Year season. Both of your mothers have given a great gift to the world - you two gentlemen.
Your laughter strted my day off with a smile! Thank you
Have a lovely day!
Hi Arne and Carlos! Thank you so much for demonstrating how to solve the problem of running out of yarn during the long tail cast on! It has happened to me many times and I began all over again! Now I know I don’t have to! Carlos, your mother’s needles are lovely. Years ago they didn’t have circular needles and the straight needles were very long. But still, they belonged to your mother and I am sure very precious to you! Thank you and I hope to see you soon!
It is so good to see you back!
Good to be back😊
I love provisional cast on with crochet hook, now I want to try this!!! So good to visit with you guys after the holidays!!!! You inspire me!!! God bless you both!!!
So happy to see you again.
Great to be back!
Happy New Year! Loved watching Arne’s nimble fingers do his magic and Carlos’s calm and clear narrative.
Yaaay you’re back. I’m looking forward to seeing different cast ins and when they’re used.
Welcome back 😊 thank you for the great tip of adding more stitches ! ❤️🇨🇦
What a simple solution to a common problem! Good to see you again!!
Good to be back!
Happy New Year. Great to see you back
Thank you! That bit of information about cutting the yarn and finishing wth a new strand is one of the best I've ever heard in my 82-year career of knitting! Wish someone had taught me that years ago. Although I'm not easily frustrated with knitting, and although I'm resigned to ripping out and starting over, it's so much nicer to start out with a happy heart.
I hope 2022 blesses you with good health and all good things! (And not just because of the knitting tip.)
Happy New Year Frances!
I Don’t Need to Unravel- what a life saver! Thank you so much for this tip. God bless you both.
You are welcome Linda!
Glad to see you guys
Welcome back! Missed you🥰
I agree long tail cast on is my default. Happy 2022
Thank you! Happy New Year!
This was how I was shown to get the correct amount of yarn for the cast on. Take 1 needle and wrap around 10 times if you need 30 for the cast on. Now take the yarn off the needle (to be used as a measuring tape) and measure 10+10+10=30: Now you have the amount of yarn to use for cast on. So if you need 210 Drs for
Happy newyear arne and Carlos,,,happy to see you back ❤️❤️🥂👍
Nice to have you back, Arne Carlos....I’m AlmOst 60 and never tried this !!!! It makes so much sense!!!!🤣so easy!!!....all these years unraveling 😂🤷🏻♀️🇲🇽
Nice to see you guys! Thanks for the lesson about running short on yarn when casting on! Brilliant!
Glad you are back!
❤️
Thanks for the tip. I have run out of tail before I've finish the cast on. This tip will help big time. Thank you again! I love you guys! ❤️
Arne your sense of humour is the best! So glad for this video all makes sense now.
We are glad to hear that!
So good to have you back online. So looking forward to sit and knit for a bit. Take care.x
Love the long tail cast on. Only one I use. Good to see ya’ll.
Arnie I agree. I don’t mind unravel and knitting again. I love the knitting part.
Great video and super comments. Saying “I dare you” is root of “Playing chicken”. Calling yourself “chicken” is a way of saying “I am not daring”to do something from gambling on finishing a row with a questionable amount of yarn to asking someone for a date. I had three chicken episodes this week, lost all three. Love you both.
Good to see you back. I don't knit,but I love to watch the two of you and all of the things you do!
Happy New Year, Arne and Carlos!! May God always keep the two of you safe; the world needs your presence in these difficult times. You are a place of relaxation and refuge for so many. Let's go 2022!! Much love from Canada!
I’ve been knitting for many years but I never even thought that I could just keep going if I ran out of yarn casting on!! Love you two and glad to see you!!💕💕Marsha
Thank you Arne and Carlos.
So good to see you both! Happy new year
Happy New Year! Thank you so much, you made my day so much better.💕
I always use the long tail cast on. Thanks for the great tips!
Love this hack to stop worry about having enough yarn for my cast on 🙏
Thank you. I learned one way from my grandmother, the most basic type. I have used the tubular for sweaters because I like the edge. I have been knitting your way (now our way) for about a year and really like it.
Lovely to see you both back . Have missed you.
😊
So happy to learn how to manage yarn shortage and not have to unravel and start over. Thank you!
So glad to see you back, brightening a gray rainy day! While watching, I cast on (long tail cast on!) for Synnove sweater. Today's video inspired me to get out the needles & get going on this project!
Hello! So happy to see you both again! 🧶 It’s long tail cast on for me. I was taught by my mother in law back in the 70’s. She showed me how to cast on and how to knit “left-handed” as she called it. It’s actually just holding the yarn in your left hand “Norwegian style”. Very fast method.
Hugs to both and hope to see more of you
You know after I watched this, I missed you both so much I just had to binge watch about 10 shows! I’ve decided to go back and revisit all the old shows you made over the years! I’m learning a lot!!! Thankyou for all you do!!!
You are welcome and thank you so much for supporting us😊
So nice to see your faces again. Love the tip on what to do if you run short on your cast on. I’ve never seen that before. Yarn chicken usually refers to running out of yarn for the whole project.
Love the backdrop, the snow, beautiful embroidery and the lovely curtains. You videos always bring me joy!
Such a delight to see your cheerful faces again! And I learned how to save the cast-on when I lose at yarn-chicken!
Very Happy New Year Arne, and Carlos!!
THANK YOU !!!!!!! Do you know how many times I have started over counting because I didn't have enough yarn? And then there's the times when I over estimated how much I needed and ended up with way to much of a tail which is a waste of yarn!! Good Lord........no more of that nonsense for me now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been knitting for years and didn't know about this simple way of adding more yarn if my tail gets too short when I'm casting on. No more stressing about it for me! I also loved watching the snow falling through your window. So peaceful. I'm really glad to see your smiling faces today. I hope you had a good rest.
We did, thank you for asking!
Thanks so much for the tips and hacks! I especially loved the beginning of this episode with Arne blending in with the curtains!
I agree, long tail cast on is my favorite too! Thank you for sharing and look forward to new things this year!
New Year, New ideas!
I think you two are just amazing!! Not only do I feel more relaxed casting on but the finger over the top of the yarn is so subtle and excellent! I have been knitting since the 80s and using the finger to make the stitches more evenly cast on is new to me. THANK YOU!!
You are welcome!
Welcome back guys! Carlos, When I saw your Mother’s needles I had to smile because I have bundles of my Mother’s and Grandmother’s too. I only use long needles, even when using DPNs because I put one under my arm, like your Mother. I’m trying with circulars but have some way to go!
Happy New Year gentlemen! Loved the blooper at the beginning 😃 and nothing is more comforting than knitting with your mom’s old needles, no matter how long they are.
Thank you for this explanation ,this really helps this novice knitter.
Happy new year good to see you back hope you had a great Christmas
That's my favorite cast-on, too, and I eyeball the length. Usually if I don't estimate correctly I end up with too much yarn, but I have played yarn chicken and lost more times than I wished! Never knew what to do about that before, other than start over. Thank you!
Lovely to see you both Happy New Year such happiness is a joy x
Brilliant guys. From your last video on this I now always add on another tail if I feel I have not got enough yarn for my cast ones. I always use the long tail cast on. Love the old needles. I bought a hamper from an old lady and have her old straight needles. Thanks so much and great to see you 🧶🧶
So nice to spend a few moments with you! You have been missed! ❤😘
Wonderful trick for adding more yarn to the cast on! Thanks so much.
You are welcome!
Happy New Year. Thank you for the laugh and the tip. Good to see you.
So nice to gave y'all back with helpful tutorials. I like the long tall but prefer the German twist for socks or hats. Very similar cast on. Y'all make it easier. Thank you.
I use this one as well.
So happy you are back. January has not seemed normal without seeing you both. Arne love your matching shirt and curtain design. Like Cissa K, I also wrap only 10 times, then divide total stitches by 10 to figure out how many lengths I need for all stitches. Also wrap loosly around only 1.
So lovely to see you guys back doing your thing. I also love doing the long tail cast on. Arnie’s hack with breaking off yarn and continuing the long tail with extra yarn was sooooo coool!! 👍👍 thanks Arne and Carlos
Thank you Paula!
I always learn something new when I watch your videos!
That is so great to hear, that is what we aim to do!
You always have good tips. thank you. I always use long tail cast on.
Perfect way to cast on a new year, with New Year’s Cast On Episode! Good to see you back! Happy New Year!!
To new beginnings!
