Do you have a favorite cast-on? Which one? Why is it your favorite? I am curious what other knitters start with most often, and why.

I mostly use the long tail, but am fast learning to love the crocheted provisional cast on! Provisional, because it helps me make adjustments to the finished product easily!

I use the long-tail the most, woo. Because that is the first one I was taught. smile
Being able to adjust the finished project would definitely be a plus!

I have the Ultimate Knitting Book, from the editors of Vogue knitting, it is pretty much my go-to book. There is a newer version available and I'm considering it, since with so many new knitters there are new ways of doing things all the time.
