[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Starting to Knit Again After a While

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I want to add to Bernice's description.

When you knit a stitch, you will have a loop on the left needle and one on the right needle, before dropping the loop, off the left needle, so the stitche is split, half on  the left needle and half on the right.
Now, when you knit your stitch and half the stitch is on each needle, a loop on each needle, that is when you move the loop from the right needle, to the left.  
Do not drop the left loop off the needle, like you would do, with a regular knit stitch.
Now your old loop is on the left needle and your new loop is on the left needle, because you did not drop the first stitch.
Repeat with the last loop on the needle, closest to your point, until you have the number of stitches, you want.

Terry

Good morning,

There are many different ways to cast on, and I will describe what I think is the easiest.

Make a loop with a slip knot. Put the loop on what will be the left needle.

Keep track of the short end, and use that loop to knit a stitch.

Put the stitch you just made from the right needle onto the left one. Now you have two stitches.

Just keep doing this until you have the number of stitches you want on the left needle by putting the new stitch on the left needle.

Hope this is helpful.
Bernice and the adorable LoLo.

Hey Everyone,
I was on this list some time ago but went no mail or unsubscribed (I cannot remember which). I was using a different email address.
Anyhow, I know the basic knit stitch and knew how to cast on. Since it has been quite a while sense I've knitted, any tips on how to start knitting again? Also, how do I cast on because that's a bit of a crucial step (smiles).
Thanks.
Christina
