I did it… I pulled out the Supersock, did a quick swatch, and cast on for the Dublin Bay socks. And now, after I got almost an inch of ribbing done last night, now I am thinking of ripping it out and using the Twisted German cast on.

I had not heard of this cast on until reading The Knitting Biologist‘s post today. The whole time I was knitting my ribbing last night, I kept thinking to myself that my cast on looked crappy (I used the knitted cast on instead of my usual cable cast on). It looks all loosey-goosey compared to the ribbing. I wanted an elastic cast on edge, not one that will fall down.

So, out it will come tonight. And I’ll get to try my hand at a new technique.
