teh way I was taught to cast on is sort of 2 rows in one. I've hunted on the net and found written and video instructions....
here's a video clip, you need to look at the second video icon on the page (at the bottom of the "double cast on" section.

and here is some written instructions for the same thing (thumb method)

it gives a lovely smooth base to your work and is stretchier than the 2 needle method. I bet this gets held in moderation now because of the links..... sigh
thank you for this help, I will give this a try. It was very kind of you to share this info with me :)
