Description ~ Traditional Beginnings - Cast-Ons from Long Ago

 Learn eight of the most beautiful, and practical, cast-ons in our knitting history and the best ways to use them. From the UK, we will cover the Channel Island Cast-on, the Knitted Cast-on, and the Multi-Strand Cast-on. Included are two basic go-to cast-ons, the Long Tail and Old Norwegian cast-ons, that are the basis for two decorative cast-ons from the Twined Knitting tradition in Sweden. Last, the wonderful Braided Cast-on from Finland will be taught in 3 colors! In addition, a few bind-offs will be covered as well for you to practice on as you bind off your swatches.
