Provisional cast-ons are incredibly useful when you want to keep your cast on stitches “live” and put
 them back on your needles later. Wendy demonstrates how do a provisional cast on using a crochet chain as a base. She shows which side of the chain to knit into, how to unzip the chain in order to reveal the live stitches, and how to load the live stitches onto the needle and work in the opposite direction.
