Since the new issues of Knitty is out, I can now publish the Magic Cast-On here on PI.
If you click on Freebies on the menu above, you will find Judy’s Magic Cast-On for Toe-Up Socks. That page was there before. But if you follow that link, you will see that the page has been updated with a link to a new write-up that is printable (scroll to the bottom). A PDF version is also available.
Republishing has given me a chance to correct a couple of errors in the Kitty version and to get rid of the little knot.
Enjoy!
P.S. Did you see that Widdershins, one of the toe-up sock patterns in the new Knitty, uses my cast-on?
