Am new to Knitting Paradise - was trying to "search" for my topic question, but couldn't find it... so...
I have been knitting (and crocheting for many years) and have been working on increasing my skill level. I am trying to figure out how to cast-on using straight dpns and can't figure it out. The pattern uses "8-stitch circle cast-on with 8 yarn-over increases every other round" - seems simple enough, but as I indicated I can't seem to get the hang of it. (I can't duplicate the cast-on method!) The directions are shown on p 47 of 'The Knitter's Handbook' . I would like to use this method for the top of a pill-box cap I am knitting.
Any suggestions or a site where i might find some help?
Thanks!
