  • In this video, I demonstrate how to recover a dropped cast-on stitch when you are using the long-tail cast-on. I hope you never need this technique, but I'm putting it out there for your reference if this ever happens to you!
    The needles I'm using in this video are Knitter's Pride Ginger. The yarn is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky. The crochet hook is by Boye.

    "And it comes unraveled! And everything's terrible! And I hate knitting!" That's me doing anything with lace weight...haha.

    Oh thank you, you just saved me from pulling everything off my needles and casting on 88 stitches for the THIRD time! Now I need to find one of your videos that tells me how to have enough yarn for the long tail cast on the FIRST TIME!! 😂

    Stacey, how do you do it?? I love your videos, and you are practically my only knitting teacher! It has been ages since I ran across a technique video that I really needed. But this one ... I need it just about every time I cast on a new project. You are brilliant! Thank you so much for all your videos! Like so many in the knitting community, I owe you! Thank you for explaining so many things so clearly so that I can enjoy my craft.

    Stacey, you are one amazing Lady, always helping us knitters with all your little knitting tricks. I’ve been knitting 65 years or more and never have I seen this before. I’m so glad I found you. You put the light into the newbie knitters lives, and take away their fear. Thank you for this. I’ll always be watching to see what I can learn, after knitting all these wonderful years. ❤️❤️

    I would literally. Start all over again whenever this happened because I thought it was over.
    😩😑
    Thank. You. So much. For this video.

    From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for this!!! I'm sitting at home sick and was about to burst into tears at the thought of going back and frogging an entire 1x1 ribbing section of my latest project. You and all your videos give me so much joy and learning-- You are the best!!!

    OMG, you are an absolute gem, I fell asleep with 160 Cast on stitches on the needle, and one fell off. Its fiddly as they were tiny, but thanks to you, I didn't have to do it again. I've has to frog half this sockhead head hat, yesterday😢, and this wool is looking slightly felted, so I'd have a nightmare, if I'd have to frog it again THANKYOU 🥰😘💕

    Great tutorial! I am making your men’s sweater with zipper in the front. I thank you so much for this pattern. I began making it on Sunday and now I am at the raglan increases working in the round. I hope to finish it by next week. I am going to send you an e-mail very soon. Thank you so much for your hard work as many aren’t able to comprehend how time consuming it is.

    OMG thank you for this! I saw another video but it wasn’t working. This was exactly what I needed but just so you know you turn the needles before you start to make the stitch but you may say it the second time you show how to do it. Thank you!!!!

  • @lyndachele
    @lyndachele 5 років тому

    YOU are such a lifesaver! You have taught me about lifelines and now this! I was trying to do a KAL that involved 112 stitches and dropped a cast on! I took it off the needles and gave up. ♥

    @Kattolio 5 років тому

    Thank you! It was great to see an actual video of this technique. When I work with thinner yarns, I actually use the crochet hook to create the loop. My fingers don't work well trying to do this with the thinner yarns.

      Mom Grandma, it never occurred to to me about the tern clockwise or counter clockwise in the digital world. I see the progression in time when my grandkids are with me. It’s bitter sweet to me. Stacy
