Magic Loop method to knit?

I just bought a pair of circular needles, and learned to knit with them watching youtube. The video I watched showed me a method called 'the magic loop. It was fairly easy to learn, I knit myself a small tube (yeah it's useless, but it was great practice!) Does anyone have any good projects easier for people learning loop of magic? Is there something that you CAN NOT use the magic method for loop "(ie it is only for projects of a certain size or shape?) I could not find a video showing me how to increase, decrease or reverse using the magic loop .. Is this the same as for knitting right?

Everything is the same in Magic Loop (ML), as it is knit with two pointed needles (DPNS). The only differences in ML and knitting there are no seams and you're still knitting on the right (public) side of the fabric. Increase, decrease, and knitting are the same. Stockinette is different in that you knit every round rather than every other round; garter is different in that you knit all other races instead of each turn. Some things may simply be knitted "in the round" using circular needles together. For example, if you knit a skirt in the round on 30 "needles, you probably do not need Magic Loop because the skirt is probably 30 inches or more in circumference. Here's an easy hat to knit in the round: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/81080AD.html. The directions call for DPNS. Just ignore that and use the wax. The part where you practice Magic Loop is in training at the top. Many people who knit hats on CRIA DPNS to switch to the creation, but we know that ML simply use the ML techniques and finish on our CIRC. By the way, if you do not have a No. 6 Super Bulky son in your inventory, you can use 3 strands of wool held together, or try this model: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70379AD.html?noImages =

Handbook of Wool Knitting and Crochet $98.89 Illustrated. This edition is optimized for the Kindle.brbrExcerpt: The first thing to be done in knitting is to cast on or, as it is sometimes called, to set up the foundation. (Figure 1). There are several methods for this, the following being that preferred and generally used by the writer: Leave a spare end of thread, sufficient for the number of stitches you wish to cast on, lying toward the left, the spool or ball from which the working-thread is drawn being at the right. Lay the thread between the little finger and the third of the left hand; bring the working-thread across the palm of the hand, around the thumb and back between the forefinger and second finger; bend the forefinger over this thread (which passes between it and the second finger), pass it under the thread which crosses the palm of the hand, and then draw the forefinger back, or straighten it, which will give you a loop with crossed threads. Put the needle under the lower part of this loop, which draws from the ball, bring the working-thread (or ball-thread) around the point of needle from right to left, as in plain knitting, draw it back through the loop, slip off the latter, and draw up the left thread. Then proceed to make the crossed loop and knit it off in the same way for the next and following stitches. The whole operation is very simple, although the instructions seem long because explicit. Take your needle and yarn or thread and follow them through carefully, and you will very soon master the crossed casting on.
