Fudge Friday: Coming up short on the cast-on

Long-tail is my cast-on of choice, but there’ve been plenty of times that I’ve come up short on yarn in the middle of casting on a large number of stitches. This is a trick I like to use when I just can’t estimate what the length of my tail should be - usually because there are too many stitches to cast on.

Nothing worse than the tail coming up short when you have just cast on 300 stitches and need 308!
