Knitting Help - Provisional Cast-On Using a Crochet Hook

Provisional cast-ons are important in knitting, especially when knitting toe-up socks. Here is an alternative to picking up stitches from a crochet chain, by creating stitches directly on the needle. The Knitter's Pride tools I use in this video are Symfonie Dreams Crochet Hooks, and Symfonie Dreamz Double-Pointed Needles from Knitter's Pride Sock Needle Set. You can find more information about Knitter's Pride Symfonie Dreamz needles and hooks, as well as a retailer using these links: Bryson Distributing: http://www.brysonknits.com/ Accessories Unlimited: http://www.accessoriesunlimitedinc.com/ Knitter's Pride Shop finder: http://knitterspride.com/find-store.asp The yarn I use for demonstration is Berroco Vintage. My silver ring is actually a knitting needle gauge, and can be found here: http://malojos.com/ The nail polish I'm wearing is by Julep, and isn't actually a color, but I like the way it looks. It's a nail treatment, called Oxygen Nail Treatment. It seems to help my nails grow, and prevents chipping and peeling: http://refer.julep.com/s/stacip
