Dear Anne
I love every design you publish by Alison Dupernex. She likes sideways knitting and so do I. So, I think it’s worth reminding readers about a method of casting on that you shared back in the mists of time. I think it’s very good, especially for casting on when sideways knitting, but obviously has lots more uses. Crochet a chain in main yarn with as many chains as you need stitches, then place them on the same number of needles. Next pull the needles out to holding position to help the needles slide back and knit a row. It helps to pull the needles out to hold and knit a row twice more. It’s then easy to knit normally without any problems and the chain edge gets lost in the making up. Best wishes, Annabelle
