Thank you for this stretchy cast-on! I can do this one and still remember it weeks later!

Hi, thanks for sharing, lovely clear video but very difficult cast-on. Getting those knots to sit close is very hard. Had to repeat many of them that were too far apart. Took ages!

Thanks so much, yours is the first tutorial to show me how to do this.

I love this cast-on, but making it exactly like this hurts my left hand so badly. If anyone's in the same boat as me, check out Alexis Winslow's Slip Knot Cast On tutorial - it results in the same cast on but for me it's easier. Thanks, Hands Occupied!

I’ve been looking for this cast on for several years. A friend taught me but I could not recreate it. Thank you

Tried the German twisted cast on and couldn’t do it, then I found your video, and bingo, so easy to do, Thankyou

Con mucho cariño 😘 tiene que ejecutar más y hablar un poco menos. Por lo demás está todo lindo. Saludos desde Chile!

Sorry, but a good tutorial is one where I do not have to slow down the playback speed to actually see what you are doing..
