re: Episode 113: Oh-so-fine

Please, please, please publish detailed step-by-step illustrations of Lisa Myers' provisional cast-on technique for the center of the Crumpet Beret in episode 113. I recently purchased the Series 100 DVD and discovering that technique was the answer to a prayer. I want to use this provisional cast-on for items knitted from the center outward in lieu of the figure-8 cast-on, which I seem to find impossible to execute. For example, for the linen basket liners in The Knitter's Book of Yarn.

I have watched her demo in episode 113 multiple times and it goes so fast that I still can't get it. Furthermore, it was shot with the camera facing her, instead of from the knitter's point of view, which makes it even more difficult to interpret.

I need sequential still pictures or drawings from the knitter's point of view, not a facing view, to follow it. I haven't been able to find this technique described anywhere else in print or on the web. I can't be the only one with this problem. Help!

Our local station just aired this episode. Is the pattern for the pink shawl at the beginning of the show available anywhere? I've found the yarn on Yarn Market.com, but you've given no clues about the pattern.

What a treat it is to find your production now being offered in our area! It is interesting, informative and inspirational. Thank you.

Just watched a preview of the show. It will be fantastic. Can't wait for it to come to Boston tv. I fell instantly in love with the Shauna sweater (I'm a cable freak!). Sandi of KD said we would be able to download a free pattern of the Shauna Sweater. I can't seem to find the download, can you please help all of the frustrated Knitting Daily readers? I want, no I NEED that pattern! Happy knitting, Suzanne

I tried to download it too, and it disappeared! Can you help me? Thanks, Andrea Zucker Northampton, MA P.S. If our own Webs is one of your sponsors, how come it's not on Springfield, Ma or Hartford, CT. Public TV????

Just FYI, I just downloaded the Shauna Sweater. I was on the detail page for episode 102. Scroll down to 102-3 and the download link is there. And it worked fine. Stephanie Barrow Chino Hills, CA

I can't wait to see the shows. I hope it comes to Boston soon! Knitting while watching a knitting show is the closest I get to a knitting group.

To those of us in MA awaiting the show...maybe we should all write/email WGBH expressing our desire to have this on their programming. I am going to. Hope others do too. SharonD

I'm sad too. Neither of my local PBS stations are carrying this, and I have only basic cable, so I don't get the digital stuff. I wish they were showing this on Hulu.com

I found the sweater if you are still looking for it:

if the link does not work go up to top of page, right side and do a search for Shauna.

Good luck and have a good day!
