Three other ways you can do this are, 1) use four needles for the stitches (if you have a set of 5 double points) or 2) use two circular needles http://www.az.com/~andrade/knit/twocirculars.html , or 3) the magic loop method http://www.az.com/~andrade/knit/mloop.html If you are using the Turkish cast on or figure 8 cast on, using two circular needles is easier because they are bendy. I hope this helps.
