Subway Knitter ...not afraid to knit in public
So, I finished the back of Matt's vest, did a little dance, and got right back to work. I cast on for the front.
When I cast on, I did something new. I placed stitch markers every ten stitches. This way, I only needed to count to ten, something that even I can do with relative ease.
A lot of you do this when you're casting on a large amount of stitches, for something like a lace shawl. Perhaps I'm just getting warmed up!

jump to the comment formMy favorite trick - I always lose count, even on small-ish cast ons. Sometime I try to stretch the markers by going every 20 or 25, but I can't even count that high without messing up.
Twenty stitches for me - no matter how many I'm casting on. Although, on occasion, I still count wrong.
ha! i JUST did this on my tubular cami.. best idea i've had in a long time.
I always use stitch markers when casting on. It just seems to make it go faster.
I use stitch markers for anything over 30 stitches. Otherwise I count and I count and I count and I count.
