GOT IT!

for those of you who are like me and are S L O W with new things like this turkish cast on....i finally got it. here’s what i can add to kat’s instructions…
after you slide the circular all the way to the right then turn it after you turn it and are ready to knit the live8 stitches..undo your SLIP KNOT off the dpn and undo it
then knit the 8. place your marker and join.
also for some reason when i got to the pattern i got messed up with the next to last stitch being a MAKE ONE then knitting the last stitch.

also if you get holes when you M1..when you lift your bar from between the stitches up and place it on the needle...it should LOOK LIKE A STITCH..if it lays the other way and you knit into the back you’ll get a hole. a friend taught me that trick and it’s always worked for me. cause when you put it up on your left needle you’re twisting it to cover the hole. if you don’t twist it you’ll see the hole.
so remember when you lift it up it should LAY ON THE LEFT NEEDLE LIKE A REAL STITCH (and look like all your other stitches) then knit into the back of it.

ok i have not gotten the first 4 rows done! yay. ok so if you get all fumbled up with this cast on just do it 100 times like me and eventually it will work. i promise. :D
i was so excited i got this that i posted it in my links section and was like umm where did my post go? haha
