I found the 2 needle chain edge CO that Mirjam mentions -http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-cast-on-using-the-two-...


It's kind of a twisted knit cast on, might make a little firmer edge
than the standard knit CO.

slide the left needle into the new stitich iDO NOT take out the right
needle since it is already in a `position` to knit the next stitch ,,

Hi Sue,

Thanks for posting the link. If you compare it to the link I posted,
which is this one
http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/cast-on
and scroll down to Knitting-On it's the same cast on, and it's the one
I used.
It works great for casting on the stitches when doing the thumb.
