Darn you, tubular cast-on!

Posted on October 20, 2005 by zarah

I tried! I tried! But I failed.
I seriously need to take a knitting class. I’m getting into the tricky stuff I apparently can’t teach myself.
I found some instructions on a website, and I followed them to the letter. But then when I “unzipped” the waste yarn, I had a bunch of live stitches hanging out there. Was I knitting into the wrong loops? Am I supposed to bind off and knit down from the live stitches? Err….
I will learn this. But not tonight. Long tail cast-on it is!

Stupid stitches. You’d think they’d cooperate just a little. Good luck on the next try.

Oh yes, You should pick up the stitches as you pull them off the ‘zipper’ and knit down. You’ll get it!
