>> just think 'loose' when you cast on.  the two needle thing is for
beginners who dont yet have control of the process. look at the spaces
between the stitches and keep them even. <<
Loose is the key word. Using two needles allows greater control over the
looseness.

As for the 2 needle method being a 'beginner' thing, I know knitters who
use this method, who have been knitting for over 30 years. I believe Nancy
Bush also recommends it. Someone who most definitely not a beginner.

While the world won't end if I have to rip out what I've cast on, I've now
wasted time that would have been better spent in actually knitting.

It's using what will give you the best results, with as little stress as
possible, which makes knitting an enjoyable endeavor.

We all use those methods that work the best for us. :)
