Like Magic

Happy Work Week! (I missed out on Happy Mother’s Day and Have a Wonderful Weekend. And I didn’t take a single picture.)

I’m getting ready to give Judy’s Magic Cast On a go! I’ve got the Figure Eight open in a tab so I can explore all the suggested options. I am cast-on disabled. Anything that requires elaborate yarn wrapping or intense finger dexterity causes me to break out in hives. Thus, my default setting is a knit cast on. (Seriously, is there anything easier?) So. We’ll see.

I woke up with another idea for how to get this done. It’s so easy I’m not sure why it hasn’t been done before. There might be a fatal flaw that I haven’t considered.

Knitters (of toe-up socks and not), please stand by. There will be a Taste Test with a Participation Drawing in a bit. (Michael has to get up and take some pictures to go with my instructions.)

Today, you will all be Test Knitters!

Or maybe tomorrow, I have to see what Ellie’s plans are.
