Cast On – Tail Bobbin

Wind the cast on’s leftover yarn tail into a handy bobbin.  The bobbin keeps the tail out of the way as you knit and prevents you from accidentally knitting with it.  The bobbin preserves the tail and is perfect for seaming at the conclusion of the project. This yarn management tip is one of my most requested tricks at my workshops.

Provisional Cast On

A Provisional Cast On is a temporary cast on made with waste yarn. The waste yarn is later removed to reveal live stitches that can be used to knit in the opposite direction or to aid in grafting. The video demonstrates how to cast on and also how to properly remove the waste yarn when needed.
