Oh Jan! Eunny Jang's demo is crystal clear! Please watch it! The most important thing to remember: your waste yarn should be a different color than your garment yarn. She uses med blue waste yarn, light blue garment yarn...but I'd go even farther out there...a blue waste yarn for a red garment!

(I remember seeing this in one of the KDTV-DVD shows)

Thanks, I will tomorrow! I ended up just intending to do a hem. Unfortunately I decided after I'd cast on and gone an inch so when I tried to hem it was difficult to pick up the stitches. So I started to take out the bind off and put it on needles. That is not hard, but annoying and time consuming so I ended up inserting the needle lower in a destination row and cutting it off. Much better, but it's the longest hat project ever.

I'm learning a lot though!

I can tell just from the still image in the video link that I'm gonna have to pass on this one. Yikes!

Really, it's worth watching the video. It's not hard, just a different technique. Even if you decide not to use it now, it's a good one to file away for later.

Mmm... no, I can pretty well tell you I'm never gonna use this one. But then, I know something you wouldn't have any way of knowing; I'm missing the first 3 fingers of my left hand, so there are some techniques I'm just never gonna be able to use. But there are enough that I CAN use (and others I can fake) to get by on.

The part your seeing is her style of holding the working yarn. I think you could use your way and still come out with the intended pattern. I would give it a try just to learn something new.
