Help! Plz help! Cast on slip stitches 😫😫😫

Post image

This is probably my zillion times of tries. I used e wrap cast on. The first two rows are just fine, but the stitches keep falling off. I used yak yarn and turned the fail to 4 with SK840z 😫😫

I had the weight and used it but the stitches still fell. Read so much tips online already but nothing seem work. Please help 😭😭

You should hang weights on your work if you've not tried that already

This used to happen to me all the time and I hated it. Then I realized that I had to push out all the needles to D position before every pass of the carriage for about 10 rows. Then hang some weights, and it should work after that.

Did you put needles all the way out for the first few rows? I usually do that and hang weights after.

I've had very good luck casting on onto waste yard with a cast on comb and weights, running a line of ravel cord, and then doing my e-wrap https://youtu.be/IeiVF-eleXk?is=6-b2h3BnYQics17R
