I spent twenty minutes trying to start from a book and kept messing up. This video taught me how to start in 3 minutes. I want to hug this lady

After not knitting for a long time, this was a great refresher!

Thank you so much! This was super helpful as a 14 year old and easy to follow along. I can usually only knit, but now I can cast on too! Thank you!

[JoannesWeb]

Right!!!
Congratulations!
You will be able to design whatever you like, specially when you start knitting young.
So creative!
Big hug

Hello there.
When you cast on, try to make it very evenly. The first knit row is always the most difficult one. Try to not pull at your stitches. Knit then close together so you don't make a gap between them.
Thank you for your interest!

@avital457 Thank you for the compliment. We are bringing more videos soon!
Are you more of a beginner or are you interested in more advanced videos?

This is by far easiest way I have seen to cast on.

Best cast on video by far. I watched all the "basic" cast on for beginner videos that were newer and had higher reviews but this was the only one that I could easily follow and was made with a simple method of show. Instead of repeating a step over and over to "simplify" the process, she just went through a little slow and explained as she did it and repeated until to line was finished. Loved this !

I love you too!
Happy knitting.
Have fun!

[JoannesWeb]

Thank you! for watching.
Many more tutorials to come.
Please keep in touch.

This is exactly how I do the knitted cast on. So smooth once you get a nice rhythm going. Very relaxing! Thanks for sharing!

[opheliabells]

bottoms up! thanks so much. This is my second day of learning from you and i'm finding it not so intimidating as other people like to make it out in their videos Too bad you couldn't be my teacher in person but we are lucky to have you through youtube .

I started knitting when I was 5. Loved it!
I never read instructions, (I didn't know how to read very well at 5!) My mother never read instructions neither. We designed our own things.
I had to learn what the abbreviations meant when I started teaching.
