Ah, it’s nice to read the thoughts of someone who cares about the cast-on. My long-time favorite is long-tail. I will ‘clip’ this post to study later, since I’m sure I can learn something from it. However, prefer to match the knits and purls with the cast-on so that it matches the stitch pattern (like Dawn—love that tute!).
It doesn’t interest you, I know.

Thanks for the explanation and the long-tail tip. I will try it on my next (appropriate) project.

Hey, thanks for the tips. I just cast on for a new project last night (long-tail cast on of course!) and am still knitting the ribbing at the bottom, so this is particularly useful information for me right now.
