First effort posting a pattern here - fingers crossed!

I found a tutorial for Italian no-waste tubular cast on.
Worth the effort of watching several times and practicing a bit!
The slip knot counts as first stitch if you do it this way.
This replaces the set up row in my pattern.

Also - experimenting with ways of decreasing stitches above thumb. Omitting cast-on stitches in thumb gap is an option I’m trying now.

I’m the only tester so far so let me know of problems!
