knitting - casting on Question!

18th February 2011 at 14:02

Ok, so i've found a good video on youtube to help me cast on, BUT i'm a little confused if the slip knot you use at the beginning is classed as a stitch or not?
I wanted to try practicing at a pattern but don't want to bugger it up before i've even started the knitting by casting on the wrong number of stitches!!
Thanking you for help

I use the slip knot as a stich, but I'm still a knitting-newbie...

I don't make a slip knot, but it is classed as your first stitch
