[Nfb-krafters-korner] casting on

[Deb Trevino]

After you wrap yarn around the right needle, you manipulate the right needle 
so as to pull the new loop back through the same space.  That newly wrapped 
yarn on the right needle is your new stitch.  You then remove the left 
needle once you are sure the new loop is on the right needle as it should 
be.

Basically, you are using the right needle to pull a new loop up through the 
one that is on the left needle.
