Happy Halloween! Here is the tassel video I mentioned in the table runner video. I think these are so cute and easy. They can also be used for little ghosts for Halloween. Let me know what you think and send me photos if you try this out.
Thanks so much for coming back and watching!

Items Used:
Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Black and Pumpkin

Instructions:

Cut 10 strands of black and 10 strands of pumpkin yarn 9" long.
Cut 12" black yarn for finishing.
Arrange the yarn in your hand by grabbing one black and one orange and repeat until all the stands have been picked up.
Place the finishing yarn in the center of the black and orange strands.
Twice knot the finishing yarn around the bundle.
Fold yarn strands over, leaving one finishing yarn out on top.
Wrap other finishing yarn around the strands of black and orange, about an inch from the top. Wrap and finish off by tucking wrap yarn in or a knot.
Trim ends of yarn to make even and enjoy.

$Chinese Waitress Cast On { Knit } E m a i l : pleasantseas@yahoo.com | T w i t t e r: @KnittWhit S h o p M y S t o r e : https://www.etsy.com/shop/PleasantSeas R a v e l r y :http://www.ravelry.com/people/pleasantseas F a c e B o o k :https://www.facebook.com/knittwhit P r i n t a b l e P a t t e r n s :http://s92.photobucket.com/user/Pleasant_Seas/library/ S i s t e r s C h a n n e l : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSAUiKBkeYkTjjuYuqTiDnw Hey everyone! Day 9 of our Knit-A-Thon we have the Chinese Waitress Cast on. This unique cast on is reversible, which most cast ons are not, so this will work perfectly with reversible patterns. Another good thing about this cast on it that it doesnt require a tail to cast on. This is in the knit on category so no measuring a length for your tail. Hope you guys like this one. Remember to come back every day @ 2PM Pacific time for a new video until March 31st. Thanks for coming back and watching! Instructions: Make a slip knot and place it on your needle. Hold you needles like you would be working a row, so slip knot in your left hand. Place your right needle next to the slip knot, under your left needle but over your working yarn. Bring yarn up over your left needle and around your right, as to knit, pull loop through, between the stitches on your left needle. Pull out your right needle and re-position it in your stitch. Place your right needle, still holding on to this stitch, under your left needle and repeat. *Bring yarn over left needle, around right needle as to knit a stitch. Pull loop through your stitches. Now you have two on your right needle. Bind off your first stitch. Pull out your right needle and re-position your stitch. - repeat from * until desired stitches are cast on. When done, slip last stitch on right needle onto your left one. TIP: When starting your project, coming up to that slip knot, just drop it off and dont work it into your pattern.
