After spending many hours, over the last few months, totally frustrated with a knitted circular cast on I finally "Did it My Way".
Using that skinny crochet cotton on tiny needles I was really frustrated. Just could not get 2 rounds that were not screwed up. Tried so many different cast ons and nothing was working. Finally, this afternoon, I decided to try a combinantion of techniques, one of which has absolutely nothing to do with casting on. IT WORKED! First time! Easy as pie. I'm so happy, happy! I actually kept knitting and just finished round 17 of Frosted Ferns! Now I do have to admit th my size 12 crochet cotton is not as fine as I would have prefered, but it was the smallest I could find, in the area. Also, although I do have size 0000 needles that are metal, I decided to try this one with my bamboo 0's. When I have enough stitches on the needles I will switch to my size 0, 16" circular nickel plated Knit Picks needles.
Next time I will have a finer crochet cotton and start with my size 0000 metal dp's.
Feeling guilty that I'm not finishing knitted Christmas presents!
