Knitting Help - Slow-Motion Cast-On

Something new for visual learners! In this video, my producer slows the long-tail cast-on way, way down - for a close-up and slow demonstration of the stitch.

Not sure why, but I can't get the link to the Slo-Mo Playlist to work in the video. Here is the link:

The yarn I use in the video is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky in Crush. The needle is a Knitter's Pride Bamboo double-pointed needle. (It isn't necessary to use dpns for this cast-on.) My nail polish is ASP Gel Polish in “Pink Sweetness”.

My prayers were answered. Not only am I visual learner also a slow learner. Thanks for the extra help.

I really appreciate you making slo-mo videos as it really helps to see whats going on. You're the best knitting instructor on YouTube. Thank you!

[andreagraham]

Love the slow Mo. Started knitting a year and a half ago and had to start, stop, rewind, and start again endlessly to make sure I was doing it right. Got real familiar with all of your nail polishes. 🤪

Just watched this video. I'm in my 60's and my Nana taught me exactly the same way when I was learning to knit as a young girl! I still find this the best and neatest cast on. Thank you so much 🥰

This is great. I've always wanted you to do slow motion on your knitting style...flicking...im now flicking but had to watch you over n over n over. Looking forward to this one.

I have just seen your tutorials and I am more successful now and enjoy knitting more. The slow motion videos are so helpful.
Thank you for being inspired to add these.

I will look forward to the slo-mo video of German Short Row (versions) and many others that I use now with the PAUSE method of trying to keep up! This is a great idea! Thanks

[newinglands]

This is such a great idea! It's really hard to keep pausing a video while holding your knitting and trying to copy what you're doing.. love it~!

I have always felt very lucky to have found your youtube channel. It is such a treasure and my fist go to channel for anything that I want to learn or remember. Thank you so much for all you do,

[suegowman]

Such a good idea. Very pleased to have found you!

[eirracak]

Thank you! The way you held the yarn was a little different and helped me a lot. I finally got it! 🤗

[benlibradoestarot]

Thank you so much for these brilliant videos. You are such a good teacher. We are on lockdown here in the UK so teaching myself how to knit and these videos are so so helpful

[debbiecoker]

Hurray for showing this method of the long tail! It's what I learned over 50 years ago, and I constantly wonder why people have decided to complicate something that is so simple!

[dianaguadamuz]

YES!!! Slow motion everything please!!! Thank you!!

Interesting, I have always cast on with the Thumb long tail cast on, but I do it differently and never realised til now. I make a cross across my thumb and knit into the top of it, making a knot at the base of the cast on stitch. Thank you for all your hard work, I really enjoy your podcasts.

[marybeth]

Wow this is how I was taught by my mom as well years ago…love it.

[jlynnhowell]

Thanks for the video. I have a friend that i recommended to your channel to learn to knit. That is how I taught myself was watching you. Thanks again!

[teresajames]

Thank you for all of your videos! The slow morion makes this technique so much easier to follow. YT viewers, we can also slow a video down in the settings feature, the little gear-shaped icon. click on it and choose "Speed." You'll have choices to slow down or speed up any video.

Thank you, was doing GT but finally getting confident enough to try dpns and was having trouble with loading the 2nd and 3rd needle to attempt your beautiful cabled fingerless gloves. I was getting very frustrated trying to load up, magic loop is my go to, but need to conquer Dpns.
Again... thank you, tutorials much appreciated.

I am a very visual learner so slow mo is great for me!
