THANK YOU! I am 74Hundred years old, knitting since age 5-6. Due to "life" I haven't knitted for about 10 years. Today, I couldn't remember how to do cast on! Something we didn't have access to "back in the day" YOU TUBE would provide the answer. Well, I was surprised that I really had to LOOK! You mentioned the 1st time you did this, you put the loop made on the needle incorrectly. WELL, that is the way I was instructed to do in the video I just left, and then found you! I follow you a lot on Fiber Spider and your crochet. You, dear one, are a blessing! So, on a whim (and a prayer) I did Fiber Spider search. VIOLA!!! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for calling attention to the need to go underneath the loop before putting it onto the left needle. That is the crucial step that I always forget about whenever it's been awhile since I've done the knitted cast-on. It's also helpful that you "anchor" the loop with the index finger of your right hand before you go underneath the loop and pull it through.

this is a great technique!! after putting the new mask back on to the first pin, your 2 needle is actually in the right place to keep on going, pulling op a new loop, so there is no need to “stop” in between casting them. it feels so effective to do, thanks for sharing 👍
