I certainly am a long-tail caston person, like most of your commenters, it seems. I also tend to use the Magic Cast whereever it is appropriate.Knitikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673861158295570803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223334335186523214.post-21264970736031452072010-11-24T15:10:58.107-07:002010-11-24T15:10:58.107-07:00When I was a wee young knitter, all the knitters i...When I was a wee young knitter, all the knitters in the family used the backwards loop method. Now long tail is the one I use the most and it's funny to think that when I first tried it, I thought, "This is too hard! I'll never figure it out." I guess it's time to give a few others a test run.Marushka C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15501083029600186860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223334335186523214.post-76509984735467629502010-11-23T21:13:00.180-07:002010-11-23T21:13:00.180-07:00I do long tail cast-on and also knitted cast-on.

The German Twisted cast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af1xpkBBYxs) on is also stretchy. And I also like Nancy Bush's Estonian cast on for socks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frc5_9AIVy0)SusanB-knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966363478901607584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223334335186523214.post-54453231709268432582010-11-23T09:49:55.598-07:002010-11-23T09:49:55.598-07:00yeah, a tubular cast on rocks.. there are about 6 ...yeah, a tubular cast on rocks.. there are about 6 or 7 ways to get the effect--I use the no waste yarn method..
