My recent knitting lightbulb moment was the Italian cast-on. Once you knit at least the first row you see how great this looks, and how stretchy it is. To my shame I have to admit that I tried this method once a very long time ago and I didn't like the winding yarn around the other bit of yarn, it felt too rudimentary to me. Or maybe I didn't pay enough attention to alternating the two parts, I ripped it back before I'd have seen how great CO is. Doh. Better late > never
@FanCityKnits@knitting@fiberarts A very simple trick for knitting on circulars with a screwed on cable: take a left hand needle one size down. Makes the stitches slide more easily.
@FanCityKnits@knitting@fiberarts ok, well... My recent lightbulb moment was realising that while I theoretically knit German style continental, I actually flick of sorts rather than strictly pick up. Which means I can use a knitting belt and that's been fun to experiment with.
