Cast on

Quick question.
The Bee shawl is my first...and when casting on I did some research and did a long tail cast on.
Since surfing on Ravelry, I noticed that everyone else cast on with waste yarn.
Did I cast on wrong, or will this be a problem for finishing.
I would hate to rip...

yes, you really should do a provisional cast on - it's really easy to do - just crochet a chain of a couple of stitches more than are required with waste yarn, and then pick up the stitches through the bumps of the chain with the yarn you're going to use for the shawl - when the shawl is finished you will be grafting those stitches together to make a seamless top of the neck -

when I did a search online under provisional cast on the long tail cast on came up so I just did that. I wonder if I could pick out the cast on?
