I wonder if I took a hit to the head last year. The reason I’ve never really cast-on for either the Endpaper Mitts or the Anemoi Mittens is that I had trouble with the Italian Tubular Cast-on. I used the tutorial from Fluffbuff, following the instructions to the letter, or so I thought. It’s a no yarn waste version. I tried it on three different sizes of needles and I could not make it loose enough. There wasn’t anything wrong with my floats - it was the cast-on.
I figured it out this weekend. I’d neglected to pull the cast-on end out of the tube.
So hopefully I’ll be able to work on Anemoi and I’ll have warm hands this coming January.
One thing I’d recommend is adding a third round of the main color before adding the second color. This way your first row of floats won’t hang down.
