I finished up the Wings of Wonder MKAL and have it off the needles, which made me think I can cast on something new! So I've started with the Drip Dye Sweater by Feinmotorik - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/drip-dye - and I decided that this was the time that I was going to learn how to do the Italian tubular cast on for once and for all.

I've tried before. It has not gone well. Then I came across Norman at Nimble Needles and his extensive photo and video tutorials. I will say that the photo tutorials are so good that I only looked at the video to make sure that I was understanding it correctly. The tutorial I used was this one - https://nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-knit-the-italian-cast-on/

I got to add a new tool to my knitting technique tool kit! I'm really excited because I do love doing a tubular bind off for ribbed cuffs and now I can have that for the collar as well.
