Jan, I think she said in at least one rendition of this method, that 3 is the magic number for casting on. Did I get that right? Does it apply only to the particular pattern she refers to? How many did you use? Questions, questions, questions. 
This Turkish cast on seems different somehow from ones Iāve looked at before. Must try it this way. Thanks!
Do we have to be good at everything?
3? I think that must be pattern specific. I cast on 16 with fingering weight and size 0 needles. I find the Turkish cast on easier than Judyās Magic Cast on. Hereās a pic. You can see using the simple KFB looks fine
Yup, thatās a lovely sock toe - as if youād do anything else. :noway: I donāt know whatās different but there is something different about the way she shows the T. cast on. Iām really not interested in tracking down others to compare, however. If itās good enough for you, itās good enough. I will give it a go. Thanks so much!
Youāre welcome. I took a sock knitting class in October (Called Socktoberā¦:lol:) and the majority of us did this toe. 
Nah, I love to knit and crochet and many other crafts but I hate filet crochet. I had to do it for the Masters program for the crochet guild ( they have a new one now) and hated it because one mistake and ripping out so much ,lol. I enjoy being a perfectionist when knitting but havenāt found something I donāt like about it yet. There is still lots to try and learn.:cheering:
I love what the Yarn Harlot said about Cat Bordhi-She sits around and thinks āThere has to be a harder way to do thisā. Anyhow, I think The Knitting Guild of America does have this mind set. That you do have to do be able to do certain things and do them well whether theyāre your kind of stuff or not. Iāve been a member for a while but never really drank the Koolaid on this issue.
Jeremy, thanks for the comment about finding a harder way to do things. Iāve thought some individuals seem to think that more complicated and more difficult is by necessity better. I disagree. I prefer, 
keep it simple, sweetie. I hadnāt come across the Yarn Harlotās comment.
I agree about Bordhi - sweet tomato heel etc. Iāve viewed many of her videos and thought ātoo complicated/fiddly etc
For me!ā
I do not think Iām a āprocessā knitter.
GOOD GRIEF! What kind of Knitting Nazis are you hanging with, Girl? Whoever they are, you should lose āem (FAST!) and get some better friends. And if itās your own little self thatās thinkinā this, you should definitely change your thinking!
This is as bad as a friend who stresses out over meeting up with me. Why take something FUN and make it pure-dee hell? (Unless, of course, your sadistic; then have at it . . . but count me out!)
I used to go to knitting guild meetings - while I did learn some new things, I felt a bit like I was in College again, in a class with required learning etc. I mean, we were encouraged to practice certain things and show our work etc. We had āhomeworkā! It was awesome butā¦I had conflicting feelings. Is my knitting purely a hobby, for stress relief orā¦is it also a skill and I need to try to learn everything, even if I donāt enjoy it, or think it too fiddly etc?
Different than me learning stuff I actually want to, like two at a time socks or top down raglan pullovers etc. THOSE things Iām self-taught via books and the internet.
Yes, I think entirely TOO much.
When it comes to anything, knitting in this case, I tend to learn about one technique or pattern, then explore those to see what I can do. Itās not necessary to know how to do everything, even though it would be nice.
Read back through the thread and youāll see we said no. Learn what you want at your own pace. There are no knitting police. If they hire some at Guild meetings and it bothers you then donāt go.
