Answer 1

Here's a great tutorial on finger knitting, with lots of big step-by- step photos: http://www.knitty.com/issuesummer06/FEATfingerknitting.html

Casting On
Begin with your left hand facing you (assuming you are right handed. For lefties, begin with the right hand facing you). The tail of your yarn(s) should be placed in the area between your left thumb and index finger. Begin casting on by wrapping the working yarn over the index finger, behind the middle finger, over the ring finger, etc. Once you wrap around the pinkie, continue back the other direction until your reach the index finger once again. Go around the index finger a second time and wrap all fingers in the same manner slightly above the wraps from the first pass. Try to maintain loose wraps. You not only need to be able to work the stitches, you also don't want your lovely fingers to turn blue.

Answer 2

Sounds like you're asking how to finger-knit from a piece of yarn, and you know how to do it if it's already in progress, but not how to start. Make a slipknot, or a noose knot. All a slipknot is, is a knotted loop where the yarn slides so the loop can get bigger or smaller.

Try searching online for finger knitting or how to make a slipknot. HTH!

Answer 3

I would think you'd just cast on normally with your fingers (or hands) and continue knitting
