Another fantastic tutorial packed with empowering knitting techniques and tips. Thanks so much, Roxanne. You have made such a lovely contribution to my life.
I really enjoy your podcasts and refer to them often. I've learned a ton of technique from you! I just wanted to say, I use the cable cast on for most of my knitting, including socks. I find it plenty stretchy for socks and when I follow your instruction for making a nice join for that cast on, it's really lovely. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you so much for your consistent and useful tutorials and explanations. You are very much appreciated, and I fear you don't hear it enough. Best wishes.
Like I sad in your last technique Tuesday, you help us think what is being done in every technique what makes us better knitters. That’s why I love this channel and it’s the first one I click-on when I see there’s a new one available! Thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you for taking the time to share, especially with showing us real life examples! It never occurred to me you could do a LTCO in pattern despite having half a dozen cast ons I use regularly.
Thank you Roxanne. I’m late to the party but I’m planning on starting a Ranunculus and just planning the neck cast on. Lots to be thinking about!! 🙋🏼🏴
Think my head is about to explode with all those cast ons... who knew there were so many! Thanks, Roxanne, for showing us all the differences so clearly👍
These are just the 4 most common cast on methods and a couple of their variations! There are probably 40 or 50 cast ons (many of them variations of others, but some are unique)
thank you Roxanne, I watch everything you post and this one was great. I am a bit stuck in long tail have to admit but have tried others especially when the designer specifically states to do so.
Thanks for this comparison! I just found your channel and really appreciate Technique Tuesday. Do you have a similar video for bind offs? If so, can you provide a link? Is not, that would be a great topic for a future video. Thanks again!!
I have a playlist of bind off videos. That would allow you to do some swatches and compare different results yourself: ruclips.net/p/PL1AZxTfSCe2fe7lFbvsh1zJJVvb23rNBW
Thanks, Rox. l enjoyed your comparisons. For myself, rather than doing Norwegian purls for LTC in pattern, I think I'd just cast on English (yarn in right hand) style! It's convenient to know both techniques. I switched to Continental as my preferred method years ago. BTW - It was easier to see stitch definition on solid yarn as opposed to the heathered burgundy (hat) yarn.
When I demonstrate with yarn on the needles, I always use the medium blue and green yarns that I used for the swatches shown in this video. In order to show examples in finished items, I have to select from things I knit for myself, and those are never knit with those camera-friendly blue and green yarns! :-)
Looking through my swatches of cast ons and bind offs . I will have to rewatch the Norwegian Purl again!! Watch your hands , I know how to do it while knitting , just need a moment to work out holding yarn in hand what that dance would look like . :D Don't have a swatch using that yet . I've done alternating cable cast on in 1x1 as well as the bind off . 2 x 2 , doesn't seem to work with alternating , means rearranging after you are done with a 1 x1 cable cast on , and creating a 2 x 2 . I think other methods work better for me if I need 2 x 2 .
(Taffy) There is a cable bind off, which can be done in pattern. Ck on RUclips for instructions. I used it on a sweater w/a k1p1 edge. It gave me a very nice edge.
There are so many cast ons I didn't include in this video (like, 40 or 50!). My hope was to demonstrate how different cast ons interact differently with the same stitch pattern, and to demonstrate how the same cast on acts differently when interacting with other stitch patterns, so that knitters could do their own experiments with cast on methods they are interested in, to see how they work in various situations.

Only a Master Knitter can give us such a comprehensive explanation. Thanks Rox for sharing your expertise with all of us. ❤❤❤
Your depth of knowledge is truly remarkable. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Your videos are my favorite. And the easiest one to understand, I keep going back to them. Thank you ❤❤❤
Big fan from palestine ❤❤❤

This is so great! I'll be referring to this video on repeat. The cast on I use most often is the crochet cast on as it also has a matching bind off.

I wish you would add the Double Chain (fka Chinese Waitress) cast on to this reference video.
