    I like how clear your camera focus is, how slowly you work each stitch, and how your words are precise.
    To cap it all off beautifully, you explain the characteristics and finished appearance of the cast on.
    (This is a format all yarn craft teachers might follow!)

    You’re so cool! I cast on differently from everyone else here on the internet and my edge is like yours. I think maybe is also a Portuguese style like the way I knit with the yarn around my neck. ( Btw I’m Portuguese 😊) I’m going to check your tutorials for sure. Thanks for sharing this technique. 🙏👌🤩

    I love this for hats, whether they turn up the brim or not. Or for 2-sided blankets. Can you suggest a matching bind off?

    • @jamescoxknits
      @jamescoxknits  5 месяцев назад

      Yes, there is a Chinese Waitress bind off. And soon I'll create a video for this one too. Please subscribe to my video channel and you'll be notified when my video is available. Cheers, James

    I wonder how this cast on would work for top down socks. I the edging and the stretch.

    Ooh, this looks fun! I need to play around with this and figure out how to do it with the working yarn in my left hand. I can't for the life of me switch to the right, it feels impossible.

    • @jamescoxknits
      @jamescoxknits  5 месяцев назад

      I know how you feel. For 45 years I've been a thrower. The only time I feel comfortable picking is when I'm knitting in reverse.

    • @jamescoxknits
      @jamescoxknits  5 месяцев назад +2

      Hi there. This is not the same as the invisible cast on, which I always use when starting double knitting. This one creates a lovely visible cast on edge with a double row of stitches. Have fun!

    how would you finish the joining the tail when done in the round?

    • @dw9463
      @dw9463 6 месяцев назад

      I’d like to know also…can this be used as a stretchy cast on for socks?

    • @jeanietownsend469
      @jeanietownsend469 5 месяцев назад +1

      Why join the tail? You knit to the slip stitch and don't knit it but drop it. The slip stitch will un slip stitch and just be a straight tail of yarn.

    • @jamescoxknits
      @jamescoxknits  5 месяцев назад +1

      @@dw9463 Hello, I haven't tried this cast on for socks, but using it makes sense to me. If you try it out, please let me know if you like the results. Cheers, James
