PURL #1 – Cast On is the debut issue of PURL, a new knitting magazine by PLYtogether dedicated to exploring the craft in depth. This inaugural issue dives into the art of casting on - from the mechanics of the long-tail cast-on to double-sided cast-ons for toe-up socks, and everything in between.
Inside this issue:
Tanis Lavallée compares four cast-on options and includes an adorable toe-up sock pattern to practice with. Alissa Barton unpacks the structure of the long-tail cast-on family, while Samantha Brunson and Denise Bayron tackle getting the tail length just right and achieving the perfect tension. Patty Lyons shares tips and tricks for a neater cast-on edge across multiple methods.
You'll also find articles that explore casting on as a metaphor for new beginnings - from project planning with Tina Tse to mindful stretching with Liza Laird. Sara Temme (The Textile Anthropologist) looks at historical precursors to knitting, and Lisa Toppin traces the history behind cast-on names. Photo tutorials for every cast-on featured in the issue are included.
