How to cast on using 2 needles – Marie-M’s way:
1st stitch –  make a knotted stitch with your fingers and put it on the left needle.
2nd stitch – cast on using the usual simple method of knitting into the front of the first stitch.
3rd stitch –  cast on by passing the right needle behind both the front and the back of stitch 2.
4th and following stitches-continue as with 3rd stitch.
