In this video I demonstrate Cable Cast-On in slow motion. This cast-on is often called for in patterns when you only have one strand of yarn to work with.
The scarf on the mannequin is Mentolat (not my design, pattern on Ravelry) using Kramer Perfection DK yarns.
The yarn I’m using for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky.
It took a while, but Casey and I are ready to pick back up with regular weekly episodes! In this one, we catch up with the changes the pandemic has brought to our lives in the last year. Next week we’ll be back to magically turning knitting knitting questions into knitting answers.

Here is the math I was unable to do in my head. 🙂 The pattern gauge is about 4.5 stitches per inch. To increase 3 inches I would need to do about 12 increases, or 6 additional increase rounds. I would work these with a plain knitting (no increases) round between the increase rounds.
