Casting on
- Tubular cast-on
- Provisonal cast-on, or provisional cast-on around a knitting needle - for when you're going to want to pick up and continue knitting from a cast-on edge. Also known as "invisible cast-on". (See kitchener stitch for one reason why you might want to do this.)
Casting off
- Casting off in purl
- Needle Bind Off - a stretchy cast-off method using a (sewing) needle
- Italian Bind Off (PDF, 1 meg) - another stretchy cast-off method using a sewing needle.
- Icelandic Bind Off - another stretchy cast-off method using just knitting needles - very simple.
