Channel Island Cast-on

Wanting to view the Channel Island cast-on, I went to YouTube. The first video that came up was from Eunny Jang. I've watched several of her other videos and liked them, so I watched this one. It taught me what I needed to know.

I figured it's always useful to get more than one take on a subject, so I watched the next Channel Island cast-on video in the YouTube queue. That knitter presented the subject a bit differently.

So I watched two more YouTube videos, and each of them took varying approaches to the cast-on, especially the last one by Ann Kingstone.

The moral of this story is don't rely on just one source to learn something new. The more you know, the more options you have. Oh, and this is a very cool cast-on.
