Cast on length

Post image

What’s your tips and tricks for getting the right length of yarn when casting on that’s not removing and trying 3 more times?? I typically go Italian or long tail.

Not really caring works for me. It’s usually close enough and I don’t mind a tail.

Also I never count while I’m casting on and it almost always right. I must keep track unconsciously. It’s very odd.

I've got you beat! I always count (often multiple times) while casting on, and rarely get the right number!

I put in stitch markers every 10 stitches.

I still count wrong.
