I even took a class several years ago and layer it down because well crocheting is in my opinion so much easier! When I knit you would think I had 2 left hands! Lol I still want to learn it looks so pretty. What has really helped me is YouTube videos! Knittingtipsbyjudy and knitting help are some very good ones......very helpful to me....even how I was holding my yarn and needles! Good luck!amylynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271380904677130979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279402006445937884.post-75702578318832460922012-02-24T17:19:39.749+08:002012-02-24T17:19:39.749+08:00Hi megan,

I know that sounds odd, but if you haven't knit very much before it takes a little while until you settle into your own rhythm or style. If you persevere with trying the casting on, eventualy you won't have to even think about it and everything will just come together naturally. You will find your own way of holding the wool and your own favourite needles. You have seen how odd my knitting style is, but it works for me!<br />good luck, carolyncarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708108042653351168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279402006445937884.post-50713399939474701592012-02-23T20:41:31.230+08:002012-02-23T20:41:31.230+08:00Yes, Fiona has a good idea.

Some wool slides more easily on different needles.2pawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183036564465862022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279402006445937884.post-49636325426173781862012-02-23T17:51:21.549+08:002012-02-23T17:51:21.549+08:00If I've cast on too tightly I usually cast n a...If I've cast on too tightly I usually cast n again using a bigger needle and then knit into the cast on row using the right size needles - works for me!
