Hi Mirjam
yes this is what I am doing, using another circ so that I can knit a few
stitches, then transferring them onto the working circular...takes a
couple of rounds before I can get going...lol.
I did try casting on with waste yarn and then knitting a round with the
main yarn, and picking up the main loop from the waste yarn, on the next
bottom round, but that was as bad.. transferring is alot easier.. I do
cast on loosely too, so I think it's the main tipped bits that are too
long..

Why transfer the sts? Just continue using the 2nd circular, it works a lot
better.

When I first did some, I didn't know Cat Bordhi's Moebius CO, so just
picked up stitches from the `bottom' of a regular CO and it was hard
going. I used a 2nd cir for that 2nd half and for several more rounds
and then just used one. However, later on, when I wanted to see how big
it was getting and how it was turning out, I knit with the 2nd one
again. If you have the same size, no need to transfer stitches, just
knit with the other one too.

Hi Suzee, I think I see what you mean, do you mean so that you then have
two circs going into one scarf

Yep, you knit halfway around with one, then take the tail of the left
hand needle and start knitting with it, until the stitches are gone from
it, then repeat. Have you never done knitting with 2 circulars before?

Sue Cher when i cast on the knit way it is quite loose enough to cast
on the new st underneath ,,, now i tried to cast on a bigger sized
needle and than cast on beneath it with the intended to knit needle ,,
it works much better !!!!

It doesn't have to, but yeah I usually make the changeover in a
different place on every round to avoid any stretching.

The MCO that is demonstrated here -
http://djinnj.livejournal.com/80804.html?style=mine is very much like a
provisional or invisible cast on and works much better than a
conventional CO and picking up stitches from the lower part of that.
