Rather than telling us it does not matter which direction we wind the yarn in the cast on, it would be more useful to tell us which wrapping direction will produce properly mounted stitches. While it is convenient you can just knit them correctly by inspecting the stitch for its leading leg, it would be infinitely easier to know that you have already mounted them correctly by wrapping in the proper direction each time. Looks like I need to find another video that will explain this.
I have a question!!!!!! my pattern says cast on 48 stitches using Judy's magic cast on ... so do I need 48 stitches on each needle or 48 in total ...???????? HELP!!!!
Is this only for socks? When is this cast-on useful? You said this was a provisional cast on- does this mean at some point there are live stitches to knit from?
Dear Lady, thank you SO much for this demonstration. I was struggling along with diagrams in a book, trying to knit my first toe up socks - plus being a left handed person who was taught to knit right handed - when I suddenly thought of UA-cam ! I am very grateful to you for this easy to understand film.
This is the best video for JMCO! I like that you explain it does not matter which direction the yarn is wrapped because it is the next row of knitting those wrapped stitches that remounts the stitches! This stitch is your namesake .... well done!!!
Thank you so much for inventing this method. It truly is magical. I know want to try making socks from the toe up. I learned to make them from the top down, but this cast on is so much easier than doing the kitchener stitch to close the toe at the end...
Thank you, Judy! I heard your cast-on method mentioned in a video by Elise Rose Crochet, so I went hunting on youtube. I initially found several videos by other content providers and watched them all, but was left feeling somewhat confused. Today I was delighted when your video happened to pop up in my feed, as if by "magic." After watching it, I have a much better grasp of what I'm doing and why it works. Nothing like getting it straight from the source! Your explanation was as clear as a bell, and I have a much better understanding now as to what to look for when it comes to knitting stitches off the needles for the first round. I'm new to knitting and oftentimes things seem much more confusing than they actually are, but your video was straight-forward and instructive and I feel confident that I can proceed with doing my first-ever Judy's Magic Cast-On. Thanks again! <3
Thank you again for your help and support. I think I know what to do but loose confidence and luckily you come to my rescue. Such a clever cast on and not just for socks but I made a cotton bag for carrying vegetables and used your cast on. Thanks again.
Judy you are a fantastic teacher! I was so frustrated watching others cast on but the lady in my last video said she uses your method. I was like who is this Judy? I have to see her method! Big thank you!!
All hail, Judy Becker. You have devised a technique that knitters will reference "until the end of knitting."
Did you know that isn't your cast-on, Judy? It was published in book Clair Hallik "Silmus kudumine" in 1959.

This makes so much sense now!

I used to love knitting but haven't done it in years. You make me want to dig out my needles!😀
The best explanation.I was watching 4 videos before and was confused.

This is the best teaching example of Judy's Magic Cast-on that I've found on the net. Thanks!
