Default Learning Knitting English - again

Hi everyone!
I think I have learnt some new words again. What do I mean? I mean...I
know the method I normally use when I cast on...I know how it looks. And
I also know that it is called Continental Method or Double Cast-On
Method. Or German Twist...something. Anyways...that is how I normally
knit. I just wonder...isn't it work in cases you must cast on more
stitches (for example if you knit something sideways aka cuff-to-cuff) ?

Hi again!
Thank you for your response anyways. I think I just have to "jump from a
cliff" or something like that. I know you know what I mean. Not
literally, but figuratively.

Hi Pirjo,

What are you knitting that you need to cast on more stitches? I've
never done a cuff to cuff and have just added loops to the needle to
make more stitches when needed.

Hugs,

Auntie Nora

Hi Auntie!
I just am trying a slipover pattern...Have never stitched that way, so I
must practise. And I afraid the outlook is that way too...Oh well..may
the time show.

I think the trick Pirjo is to learn one thing at a time, and learn it well,
so that you can do it without having to look at the information for it, then
move onto the next thing.

This said, you have come along way since a couple of years back, and that is
a good acheivement
