on 11/22/2005 Make a slip knot and place a loop on the left needle, place the right needle through loop and make a knit stitch. Keep the slip knot on the left needle. Place the new stitch onto the left needle (2 sts) to make further stitches insert right needle between the last 2 stitches on the left needle, make a knit stitch, return new stitch to left needle and repeat. This builds a row of stitches on the left needle and creates a firm, even edge.

on 11/22/2005 Instead of casting on, make the slip knot and then do the knit stitch once. Then put the stitch on the other needle. Repeat these steps until the desired amount of stitches are on.

on 11/22/2005 Instead of wrapping the yarn twice around the left forefinger only, try wrapping it around all four fingers: around the backside of the pinky, then around palm side of ring, then backside of middle, and, finally, backside of forefinger. Better tension.
