corig	Posted - 10/27/2012 : 12:43:57 PM I was is such a hurry to start an adorable baby hoodie, that I missed the instruction for casting on a provisional cast on! I'm over half way done with it -- do I pull it apart? Pick up the stitches from the right side, hood, left side then just pick up the bottom stitches? Help! Cori

jaymeKnits	Posted - 10/28/2012 : 05:48:09 AM I'd say pick up and leave the cast on for anything thinner than worsted. Worsted and thicker I'd try to unpick the cast on, I hope you aren't using a bulky mohair yarn ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out my patterns: http://www.ravelry.com/designers/jayme-stahl
Janettoo	Posted - 10/27/2012 : 7:56:53 PM You get to do whatever you want! If you are using a relatively thin yarn, picking up stitches from your cast-on won't make an uncomfortable ridge. You could turn this into a "design feature" by doing your pick-up so that the cast-on line is on the outside. Overcast it with contrasting yarn! Go wild! If you are using a thicker yarn, you might want to unpick your cast-on. Janet in TN
