This is my favourite technique for casting on the toe of a sock.

Check out knitty for a great written (by the inventor) description, but here’s a quick clip I found on youtube.

Once again, the calibre of videos on youtube are appalling, this is the shaky best that I could find.

I’m seriously considering breaking out the camera and recording a few of my own when I get back from my travels.

Alas, onward to the technique:

Five skeins out of five.
