How To Knit A Long Tail Cast On Photo Tutorial

"Since I was a crocheter first, when I first learned to knit, I was taught the continental style, and this cast on method. It was an easy transition. It’s easy to work, quick to add stitches, and gives a nice, flexible edging. I find this cast on to be so versatile and comfortable that I use it for almost everything! But it’s especially useful for projects that need more flexibility, like a cowl, hat or garment to name a few. There are both photo and video tutorials in this tutorial."
