The Cast-on That's Pure Magic with Lorilee Beltman
![]() Symmetrical lace scarves? You don't have to use and pick out waste yarn. Shawls that start with a garter-stitch tab? You don't have to pick up stitches on that icky cast-on edge. Toe-up socks? You don't have to tighten up loose stitches from Turkish or figure-8 cast-on, plus we will learn a common wedge-toe and a rounded-toe version. Infinity loop cowls? You don't have to pick out the waste yarn of a provisional cast-on. Hems? You don't have to sew down, and you don't have to pick up bumps of a long-tail cast-on and wonder if you're in the right column. This is general knitting knowledge you will apply to many areas of your knitting life. Lorilee can work with conventional knitters, mirror-image left-hand knitters, and combination knitters in a way that suits you. Note: If you have taken Lorilee's Professional-Looking Cuffs class in the past, there will be some overlap. Supplies
__About 50 grams (#4) worsted-weight wool or wool blend yarn in a light color where the stitches can be easily seen.__One 32- or 40-inch long circular needle. (24" is too short.) Bring a needle kit or three needles in the range appropriate for the yarn. Gauge is not critical for class. __Blunt tapestry needle __Scissors. Homework
None.
