Archive of Thread: cast on comb Back

2 years ago
Is there a way to hang a cast on comb without doing the main bed and ribber and zigzag etc.  I mean i just want to hang this extra weight on my stockinette couple of starting rows before i launch into electronic tuck stitching.  If not, does the regular way i just mentioned make a suitable closed edge for the edge of a sideways sweater or would it produce live stitches instead?

IMHO

1. Use waste yarn and zip zag
2. Hang the ribber comb
3. Knit a couple of rows
4. Knit 1 row of ravel cord
5. Cast on with your main yarn using whatever method you prefer

An alternative:

1. Main bed 
2. Waste yarn cast on over every other needle
3. Hang the ribber comb
4. Put all needles in work
5. Knit a couple of rows
6. Knit 1 row ravel cord
7. Using main yarn, cast on with the method of your choice
