Drawstring cast-on

The original drawstring cast on is explained here - http://loomlady.blogspot.com/2007/03/easter-egg-reborn.html - the picture attached shows my modification - this ends up exactly the same but is easier for my brain to remember.
Step 1 - wrap the yarn behind the odd numbered pegs and in front of the even numbered pegs.
Step 2 - you are now back at peg 1 - wrap the yarn in front of all the pegs ending at peg 12 (the last peg). This will anchor the yarn so it doesn't fly off before you can knit the other pegs!
Step 3 - Peg 12 will have 2 strands of yarn on it - knit the bottom strand over the top.
Step 4 - repeat step 3 for all even pegs
Drawstring cast on is complete.
