Cat Bordhi demonstrates Judy Becker's Magic Cast-On

I think this is the best provisional cast-on on the planet. It was invented by the ingenious Judy Becker of Portland, Oregon, and first released to the world by Knitty.com. You'll find it used throughout my latest book, NEW PATHWAYS FOR SOCK KNITTERS, for everything from toe-up socks to cobblestone cuffs. I love it!

It's hard for me to know what might be going on with your dpn's, but I suspect you are not knitting in the round after the cast-on. Yes, you are knitting from the middle out, but you can't have a selvedge because the cast-on dissolves into knitting in the middle. I suggest you start fresh and see how it goes. Good luck!

I've finally got this now! This first proper attempt has a few holes in it but its starting to look like the toes of a sock. I'll cast on again later tonight. THANKS SOO MUCH!

I must be missing something here because I can't do any of the toe up socks, but can do the cast ons. At the moment, I'm getting a flat piece of fabric knitted from the middle out with a funny selvedge. Do I need to adjust something cos I'm using dpns? btw, I love your videos- you're such a great teacher! =)

Why do you use 2 circular needles? I didn't know anyone did that. I am new to knitting. Thanks!

catbordhi napisał :
2 circular needles are a very effective way of knitting in the round. With double-pointed needles you have 3 or 4 intersections, and with 2 circulars you have only 2. Also, you can try on something easily because the cables wrap around your foot, etc.You might wan t to see my video on knitting with 2 circs.

Yes - your conclusion is correct - when I followed Judy's original directions, I neglected to pay full attention and mine came out this way - which seems to be easier.

I ask because on the original Knitty page it appears Judy wraps her top needle differently than you do. She also mentions that you should work those top sts through the back loop since they're twisted. With your variation (wrapping in the opposite direction) the sts seem to be oriented correctly. Is this correct?

wandersfar napisał :
Should the CO sts on the top needle be worked through the back loop or as normally?

catbordhi napisał :
If you follow the moves I demonstrate, you'll find that all the cast-on sts are mounted conventionally and should be knit thorough the leading leg - which is on the front of the needle.

this is way better than figure 8 now I don't have to tighten. I just learned toe ups from Cookie A.
