Arm Knitting Basics
Christa demonstrates the basics of Arm Knitting, starting with Casting On using the long tail method, then knitting Row 1 (working from stitches on your right arm) and Row 2 (working from stitches on your left arm) then finishing with Binding Off.
The yarn she is using is 4 strands of Cascade 220 held together - use two skeins wound into centre-pull balls, and you can work with a strand from the inside and outside of each ball.

Slingshot Maine Cast on aka German Twisted Cast on aka Norwegian Cast on
Maine method cast on from Robin Hansen's Favorite Mittens book. Only followed the illustration in the book for the first stitch. Use slingshot like regular long tail cast on for the subsequent stitches. The Maine caston is supposed to be more stretchy. Turns out it's as same as German twisted cast on or Norwegian (twisted) cast on.qQ

German Twisted Cast On
This cast on provides the perfect balance between stretch and structure. It is similar to the Long Tail Cast On but each stitch gets an extra twist, giving it that touch of added stretch that makes it so wonderful.
I use the German Twisted Cast on for almost anything that needs a firm but stretchy edge – for socks, hats and gloves it is my number one go to cast on method.
I have also heard this cast on referred to as the Old Norwegian Cast On.
