Stretchy Cast-On and Bind-Off.
Posted by mtmom on November 29, 2009
Two how-to YouTube videos for knitting techniques devised by Jeny Staiman, one a bind-off, and one a cast-on, and both VERY stretchy. I tried the BO today, but have not tried the CO yet.

Really great quality videos, I could very clearly see what she was doing. I am having the most trouble with a provisional caston and have watched a video several times as I wanted to try a toe up pair of socks, but just could not get it (feel pretty dumb too). I may have to take a little lesson to get this concept.

You want to use a provisional cast-on for toe-up socks? Are you beginning someplace other than the toe-tip? -Deborah
