Awesome! Enjoy!

Thank you. Very easy and simple. Great tutorial. ❤😊

Love, love love this!!!! I looked everywhere for an “easy” stretchy cast-on that I could teach in a “my first socks” class and this one is the winner! I’m jokingly calling it the Canadian Cast-on, since I am a Nova Scotia gal living (and teaching knitting) in Southern California and you are in BC 😉🍁 Thanks so much for sharing this…I showed to a friend who is a Master Knitter and she had never seen it before 😮

So glad!!! Happy Knitting!!! Jen :)

Like it! I've been knitting for 60 years, and always looking for a better cast on. Especially a stretchy one for socks! Thanks!

It took me like twenty times watching this, slowed down, a lot of "why is this not working!" shouted, but I FINALLY got this figured out! I think it's because I yelled that what, was I using the wrong physics, or a different type of third-dimensional geometry; and the universe found that to be sufficiently humiliating to me, that it deigned to allow me to understand it.

@@uptownyarns7943 I'd decided I was sick of wearing crappy socks, and the way my mind works, "learn how to knit socks" is genuinely going to be easier for me than "figure out where to buy non-crappy socks".

Wow! I just watched 4 other videos for a stretchy cast on and could not get it right. Your method is great ... now I can start my first pair of socks! Thank you.

Thank you Jen! This was the only stretchy cast on where I could follow the instructions 🙂

Hello 👋 I am at the end of my first ever knitting project! :) I used this amazing vedio to start my in the round scarf. Thank you very much for sharing this long tail cast on with us. I would love a tutorial that shows a bind-off in a similar stretchy style. In any case, thank you again 🧶🙏🏼

HALLELUJAH THIS FINALLY WORKS I've been losing my mind over tubular cast ons for DAYS and this feels amazing already

Fantastic ❤ thanks

Thank you for this video. lovely and slow and easy to follow.

At last! A stretchy sock cuff cast on I can follow, thank you and your Grandma for this!

Brilliant- finally one i can actually remember! THANKS

Excellent tutorial! Thank you. I learned the same one from my grandmother, about 50yrs ago, so it's fun to find you doing it. I was surprised to learn from an old knitting book from the 60s or 70s that it's called the "Long-tail Cast on - Thumb Method."

I have looked at lots of stretchy cast-ons online but this is the simplest and best demonstrated.

I learned a variation of this cast on from a relative. I don't know if it is particular to a certain background but as you stated. have not seen it in any books.

Thank you so much for this!! Some stretchy cast ons are so hard to do, thank you for sharing a more simple one ❤️

I've tried every stretch cast on here on KZread and Uptown Yarns' cast on is the best of them all. Thank you, thank you for putting this up here.

Just what I am lookig for. My last cast on was a refined cable cast on which I really like because it is stretchy. I like this even better. Simple, simple, simple! Thank you so much. So from what you say this can be used on every project. Works for me!!!!

Thanks for this, Jen. I've saved it so I can use it for my next project.

thinking I need to learn to knit now !

thank you!!! I love using this cast on !

Marvellous! Thanks! 🇬🇧

I learned this from my mom as well and I didn’t know other people didn’t use it I thought it was what is called a long tail cast on very cool 😮

Thank you so much for sharing. A clear and concise video that takes the mystery out of casting on for a beginner knitter ❤️

Thank you Jen.....always looking for a simple, stretchy, cast-on!

I think I must be super dense, because I don't find this cast on simple at all. I always end up with two stitches made instead of one. Going to be using a different cast on instead.

Thank you so much for this. I've been getting really frustrated trying other long tail cast ons.

What bind off matches this cast on?

Thumb method for long tail caston

I always wind up with two stitches per cast-on process. What am I doing wrong?

HI! So watch right near the end of the video where I lift my thumb over. If you lift your thumb and twist, you get two stitches. If you lift your thumb like it's a needle and don't twist, you'll just get one.. Happy Knitting!

What kind of yarn is that?
