Thank you, glad it helps you!

Hey Gina, thank you for your kind words and great that you feel inspired. 😇

Mh interesting, the way you hold the needles, tension the yarn. There are so many variations. thanks for your comment 🙂

​@@wonderfulworldofknitting Your tension method is not working as well as you imagine. After every few stitches, you are letting go of the needle to pull more yarn over your hand.

Yes!! This is true English knitting, which so very few RUclipsrs understand at all. It's almost never seen here, and often described wrongly, but everyone I know knits this way in Australia. We teach small children to let go of the needle as they wrap the yarn, but when their coordination improves, they quickly learn to hold the needle pencil style,with right thumb beneath the fabric, and only the tip of the forefinger needs to move for both knit and purl stitches. Looping the pinky finger through the yarn is the most effective way of tensioning. The slightest adjustment of the finger allows yarn to flow through smoothly, or to be held taut. It becomes automatic.

Hi! I connected 2 long cords together to make them extra long; i didn't measure them together. I think you will need a minimum of 120 cm. I hope this helps.

Glad you like it; definitely go for it and start knitting again. Have fun - it's such a beautiful craft.

Thank you for your feedback, Nancy. Happy Knitting

Danke, genauso stricke ich seit meiner Kindheit und stricke mit 86 Jahren immer noch so. Der kleine Finger reguliert die Spannstärke mit jeder Masche und so hab ich ein sehr gleichmäßiges Strickbild. Kein Doppelwickeln nötig. Sehr schnelles Stricken ist so möglich. 🤗

Gosh, that's a good question. It should be possible, but I haven't tried this myself. Just give it a try and see. good luck.

And no second sleeve syndrome 😀

Haha, made me smile, your comment. Glad you found the video helpful and my instructions clear. Hope Knitting 2 sleeves at a time works out for you. 🙂

Hey Dianna, good to hear that you also tension your yarn this way and I'm not alone in that haha. It does work well for me too. Happy Knitting ☺

Never will we get bored; it's just sad to think that there is not enough time in our life time to knit it all 🙂 Happy Crafting

Hey Kathleen, ah thank you so much for the compliment and so nice to hear you enjoy my videos and found inspiration to keep enjoying your yarn 🙂. Knitting is such a beautiful craft and there are so many gorgeous yarns out there. Good that you went overboard and treated yourself / to find comfort. I'm sorry that your husband has passed. Let me know what you are knitting on / crocheting. 💜

I am now knitting a prayer shawl for a neighbor family praying over their recent needs. And i am crocheting a light summer basic top in a lovely purple/ white variegated yarn i thought would be fun to wear at my old age heeheehee.

Hi Kat, Your projects sound wonderful, especially the prayer shawl. I'm sure your neighbour will appreciate it. @@Kat-Knows

Ah, glad you found my video and it helps you. Good luck with the sleeves 😀

Glad this video helps you. 😀

Glad it helps you. Happy Knitting

Thank you for the suggestion, I will try that.

Glad it helped you 😀

So glad you enjoyed the video and that you found the Knitting 2 at the time sleeves vid helpful 😊 i hope it goes well for you adopting this technique. Hopefully soon I'll podcast again

Hey! Aw that's so great that you tried it out tensioning the yarn by wrapping it around your hand and that it's a game changer for you. Reading your comment just made my day 😊 thank you. Happy Knitting

Hello Rodney, Yes you are right, I had to let go a few times in order to release more yarn. This is because during demonstration I was knitting with my hands on a desk and that isn't my usual comfortable knitting position. Plus the working yarn was coming from the floor so wasn't released easily. Normally when I sit and knit the yarn ball is right next to me and is released without having to pull it so I can knit continuously. Hope that makes sense. Happy Knitting 🙂

Hey! Thank you very much for your nice comment; so glad that you felt inspired and like the patterns. I totally agree - knitting being a slow graft, is wonderful as you appreciate it more. Are you working on something nice yourself? ☺

Hey Gina, thank you 😊 yes the Moonset Pullover is so flattering; are you planning to knit it soon? Have fun x

Hey! I use the Chiaogoo Needles - they are the best I find.

I love my Chiaogoo needles also!

Hey! The only suggestion I have is to keep trying the Purl stitch using this technique. Good Luck!

Heya, I will try that out! Thanks for the tip 😃

Why are you so hostile? There is no stupid way of knitting if it works for someone. A LOT of people knit with their yarn in the right hand and flick to create a new stitch. I can knit with the yarn in either hand, it makes more sense to knit continental style for some stitch patterns, and double knitting is a hell of a lot easier if you can hold a strand in each hand... But I always default to knitting closer to English style, holding the yarn in my right hand and flicking it while moving the needles to create a stitch in a fluid motion. I dunno if it's so ingrained because I was taught to hold the yarn in my right hand from the beginning when I was ~4-5 years old or what, but that's how everyone around me knitted too and they were fast, skilled knitters 🤷🏼‍♀️. I can crochet too so it's not like I can't tension with my left hand, but my hand movement is different for crochet and knitting and having the yarn in a different hand for each just works better for me 😂

Hey Ophelia, ah thank you so much for the compliment on my Spring Bloom Cardi. That means a lot. 😃 Regards the Cumulus you could just knit it with a different yarn if you don't feel up to knitting with Mohair yet. I used Tukuwool DK in a Rust colour. Good luck with your Cumulus. This blouse somehow manages to look good in any colour lol

Hey Gina, I just looked up the No Frills Cardigan and wow, it looks very nice. Are you knitting it as long as PetiteKnit has? I hope it's a success with your daughter.

Hey Morgana, you can increase anywhere really distributing the increases evenly but it's best to hide the increased by the underarm so it's less visible. Good luck! 🙂

Thank you for your quick answer.

It looks like Rowan’s Felted Tweed. Color? Thank you for the video. I’m right at the sleeve area of my sweater so I found your video just in time. I’ll give it a try. 👏💃

Hey, @@Fuj109 Well spotted, it is Roman Felted Tweed and the colour is Frozen. Good luck with the sleeves on your sweater ☺. I hope the video helps.

Thank you so much for your reply. The color is fabulous!! I’m getting close to finishing the body of my current sweater, and I’ll be starting the sleeves soon. I’m looking forward to trying two sleeves at a time. Thank you so much for the video and for the color information. It is very much appreciated…🤗🙋 Have a good day!

Thank you 😊, same to you, have a great day and Happy Knitting@@Fuj109

I flick as demonstrated in this video as well. I am left-handed and need to anchor the fabric and control the stitch movement on the needle with that hand. I iron this way as well: my right hand moves the iron and moves about and my left hand holds the fabric.

Then it wouldn't be English style 🤣. I've tried continental and got fairly fast at it, but my tension is all over the place and it feels like it takes way more mental exertion for me, and after trying both ways a lot (I've done double knitting and fair isle which require holding a strand of yarn in each hand too, which really illuminates the difference for me) - I can assure you that holding the yarn in my right hand and flicking always ends up being faster for me and is what I naturally default to 🤷🏼‍♀️. I like how the working yarn being on the same side "locks" new stitches in place more, and flicking the yarn round the needle rather than picking the yarn from the opposite hand ends up much more consistent and doesn't hurt my hands/wrists like continental can

Thank you, Gina. Glad you enjoyed ☺

Hi Dianne, good to hear you enjoyed the episode 🙂 - and yay to us Knitting Twins. Send me a pic on Instagram; would love to see your Slide project. I need more Green in my wardrobe still. 😄

Haha, totally, Kim's designs are so beautiful. Yes, it's worth collecting the books even just to look at them 😆

Glad it helped

Same here - I tried continental a few times and just cannot do it

@@wonderfulworldofknitting what brand of needle were you using in this tutorial?

@@joysoriano2825 Hi Joy, I used the Chiaogoo Interchangeable needles.

As a european person i think it is incredibly stupid to cast yarn on a needle.

@@bambinaforever1402 as a European person I really don't care how other people cast on

Hi Nicole, thanks for your message and the tip about the Crochet Cast on; i may give this a go next time I'm knitting socks 🙂. That is interesting to hear your take on old knitted garments and how you feel about them and your memories; that you remember wearing the garments. We are all different and wonderfully unique. Thanks for your input.🥰

Hi Beverley, you're absolutely right - for such 'tricky' stitches a sharp point needle works much better. ☺ Happy Knitting

Hi Lori, aw thank you so much for the compliment and reassurance 🙂 I will follow your advice and fingers crossed my friend will like it in the end 🥰
