A temporary cast on knit with waste yarn that is later removed to knit in the opposite direction or to aid in grafting. Video demonstrates the cast on and also its proper removal.
Fantastic tutorial, the "fudging" tricks absolutely made the difference in retrieving all the live stitches. Thank you for all the time you've devoted to sharing your craft.
I LOVE your videos!! You explain everything so well and don't rush through it or blabber on and on about stuff not related to what you are demonstrating. Thank you so much!
Thank you! You are the only one so far in my researching provisional cast-on, who has actually knitted a swatch (I mean, how hard is it?) and showed what to do at the other end of the project. It's no good knowing how to cast it on, if it stays that way and can never be removed. Also, you had the common sense to use a contrasting color (wonder of wonders!) so we can see what is going on. So this is the first video I've seen on this subject that is actually helpful! Clear, well-prepared, complete. Very grateful for the help!
great job explaining in detail. especially pointing out the fact that there will be one less stitch in your live stitches after removing the provisional yarn.
You may knit one row after the cast on to make its removal easier or go right into the pattern. Your pattern should direct you to the best option. Congrats for growing your skills!
Thank you so much for the explanation of the missing stitch. I have tried this method numerous times and always end up one stitch short.... Thanks again. Now I know to add an extra stitch when casting on. I cannot pick up stitches on a cast on edge, so this seems like it will cure all my problems an my current project. :D
I finally get it ... My God. You have provided such relief. Thank you so very much for explaining and showing in such details the complete process and the main reason needed for a provisional cast-on. Again ty ;)))

The way that you just showed me is soooo much easier than the way I just learned. I wish I'd seen this yesterday! Thank you.
Brilliant!! Ending up with one fewer stitch has driven me nuts in the past. Thank you for the clear explanation and multiple solutions.

This was very clear. Thank you.
So, when you do this, you have to knit one row before beginning your pattern, right? (yes, I'm such a newbie!)
Really neat and very easy to understand.
Thank you.
I like the way she explained, Im going to tried
