Envision the work. Collect the materials. Commit to the plan. Make. That’s how you build a palace. That’s how knit happens.

I so much enjoy your podcast and insight of many things.
In this podcast you mentioned a two strand long-tailed cast on. I have never heard of this. Could you share where I could learn how to do this?
Hi Lisa,
What I did was use the strand from the inside of the ball, and the strand from outside of the ball. I made a slip knot with both strands, and then I worked a standard long tail cast on using those two strands. When you’re done cast on, you drop the slip knot. This keeps you from having to estimate how much yarn to pull out of the ball for long tail cast on, getting it wrong, and then having to redo the cast on.
Brilliant! Thank you, Remember, if you are cold put on a sweater 🌼🌸
