While I'm late to this conversation, I'm curious after reading the frustrations from the other commentators about why one would choose a tubular cast on in place of a long tail? What quality does it bring? Hi,

I love your blog, and I mostly lurk. While I’m late to this conversation, I’m curious after reading the frustrations from the other commentators about why one would choose a tubular cast on in place of a long tail? What quality does it bring?

I did a tubular cast on twice (on different sized needles) before giving up on it. Obviously I know the "wrong" method. I have one mitten done and am about to start the second. I lurk lots - I hang around for the spinning. I like to haunt people who spin better than I do as it keeps me humble I ripped my cuff and ended up doing a long tailed cast on.

I did the yo's on mine, but my poor SP9 partner has re-knit the cuff three times now! Maybe she's doing the non-yo variety.

That might have given you a little more stretch. But thanks for the heads up - I've just recently seen the yo variety and I'm getting ready to start those mittens next week, so I'll have to study up on which version will be better.

I love the color combination. Btw-- could you please post an update when you get to the thumb gussett? That always stymies me when it comes to mittens. It looks beautiful!

Nothing's quite as painful as ripping out painstakingly small 2-colour ribbing... I didn't try a different sort of tubular c/o, just did a cable c/o instead and they look good to me. Good luck with the mittens! I just knit these mittens and had the same problem!

I finished the mitten before I realised though, so am planning to cut and reknit downwards. I had the exact same problem with this pattern.

I'm actually making a pair of her endpaper mitts just to try out one of her patterns. Thanks for the tubular caston/off info. I’ve been eyeing that pattern for a while.
