This is proper durty. Sometimes knitting gets me sooo excited.

I post infrequently, but oh-my-stars-and-garters, I have to indulge in some knitting-squee. Most of you don't knit, so please be kind and try and share my delight

I'm ridiculously in lust with this technique. Poring over every detail, drinking in its exquisite form. I've unraveled this hat 3 times for the sheer joy of casting-on again.

If you don't hear from me for a week, it's because casting-on has broken out again.

Ooooo, now that's another smexy cast on. Dammit, I'm going to end up spending all my time casting on now, and get nothing finished.

Oh, sounds wonderfully exciting. I haven't done any knitting since I wnet back to work. Quite jealous now.

Pictures, demonstrations, instructions to follow???

It took me a while to figure out where exactly I'd found the tutorial, but here it is.

A little warning: This is called the Italian Cast On, but on youtube there are videos for a very different Italian cast on.

Hmmm - I think I'll stick to perving at 17 year old boys!!!
