Meg sings the praises of “the world’s fastest cast-on.”
hen did Invisible Cast-On change ts name to
Provisional; does anyone know? It seemed to slip.
‘subly nto ur vocabulary a number of years ago,
with no fanfare
‘A present, Invisible Cast-On is analogous to
the magical Tubular Cat-On (see the Spring!
‘Summer 2012 isu for Meg’ article), “Provisional” refers to a cast-on that
‘allows you access to the raw stitches later on. Remain alert, asthe former
name, Invisible, is stil used in older kniting books to refer tothe Provisional
technique.

Provisional Cast-On, so | copped out. | would use regular old Long Tal
Cast-On with an auxiliary woo! aver my thumb, then laboriously unpick that
sitand when | needed the raw sttches. However, that cop-out led to my
elberate use of two colors for Long Tal as @ design feature; it provides
the smallest possibie bit of contrast color around the lower edge—s good
‘example of No Wrong in Knitting, or A Use for Every Mistake.
Provisional Cast-On is advantageous in myriad ways. | often use ito

the cable section ofa 40” needle as the aux “woo,” which you can watch
(on YouTube.
When you need the original stitches again, simply undo the slipknot and
pullout the aux woo! with a flourish. Pick up the raw stitches and weave,
‘or knit inthe other direction, or cast of. Note that because of the Plars-and
