Why does this look a billion times easier than what I've been trying to do

Holy. Cow. Here you are in 54 seconds teaching me what no one else could make sense of! Thank you!

I am speechless, I just was watching a how-to cast on (Thumb method) and it just did not stick with me, this less than a minute video had me casting on instantly! I am so grateful!

Welp.... I guess this is what it feels like to be super excited yet incredibly frustrated all at the same time.

When I first learned to cast on, it was through another popular YouTube video and it wasn't anything like this. In fact, it took me about 3 times as long.

So now I'm super excited to learn your fast cast on method, while feeling incredibly frustrated over the time I will never get back from using the previous method. Lesson learned! Thanks luv!

Oh man, I haven't knitted for years and couldn't remember how to cast on. I watched another video ~for beginners~ that was basically this method, but WAY more complicated for some reason. Thank you for this. Short and simple, A+

That is the easiest and quickest way to cast on that I have tried! Thank you so much. 😀

Oh my, I just spent what seems an age trying to do this from other videos on YouTube. This is way simpler and absolutely brilliant. Thank you!

Just wanted to quickly say thank you for this awesome tutorial. Simple, easy, and clear. Everyone else has way to long videos that are hard to understand and that are way too complicated. So thank you!

Oh my goodness, I have been looking for this method and finally found it. Thank you so much for being precise, clear, and letting the camera see what you're doing exactly. Very well done. Thank you again.
