Skill Builder Exercies

Hi

The Goal of this challenge

In this challenge you will try 3 different cast on methods. Each exercise will use different skills that may be new to you.

    The all-purpose e-wrap cast on is closed is a favorite among machine knitters. After trying the manual e-wrap. Try the suggested "automatic" e-wrap.

  • The Crochet (Chain) cast on produces a stable, non-stretchy edge. It's a perfect match to a stitch-thru-stitch bind off and it's good when stretch isn't needed (blanket and scarf edges)

  • The Slip Cast on may appear to be a bit sloppy, but it's fast ... it's especially good for swatches.


I encourage you to study Level 2 of the Knit it Now Success Path.
Level 1 gets you started knitting with your machine. For the most success keep it simple and get comfortable with casting on and binding off. Get comfortable with different yarns and get a feel for how your machine works..
