Provisional Cast On Three Ways
(Libby Beiler)
The provisional cast on is a handy skill to add to your knitter's tool box.
I fully admit to having been intimidated by it for years, and actually
avoided projects that began with a provisional cast on, because I just
didn't get it. As the years went by, and internet resources and YouTube
videos improved, the mysteries of this technique were unraveled, and now,
I actually enjoy this method of casting on.
During this one hour class, participants will learn three different
provisional cast on methods. I am sure that you will find the one that is
right for you!
Originally from Danville and a longtime knitter, spinner, and weaver,
Libby is part of the sheep-to-shawl team "Time Warp" and an enthusiastic fiberholic
and keeper of sheep.
Skill level:
- Beginners, intermediate, advanced
Materials:
- Two contrasting light colors of worsted weight yarn
- One pair of straight knitting needles, size 6, 7, or 8
- Crochet hook, size G or H
