Im just making my very first hat and had to start over because I had no idea that I needed to line up my cast on. Your tip will be on my mind for future projects. Another problem I encountered is that somehow I ended up reversing my knit, the inside became the outside. Do you have videos on that as well?

I think im subbing immediately! ❤

Why do you always feel a need to bash continental knitters? It boils down to which hand a knitter feels comfortable tensioning. Your tips are helpful but there's no need to trash continental knitting IMHO

Beautiful! It's like a 'high-end, no bulk Russian Join' - that's perfect for cellulose and silk fibers!

Thank you for sharing!

I knit very weirdly. I use a hybrid purling style using my thumb to purl, that is somewhere between continental and portuguese knitting, and it works really well for me. I cannot for the life of me get my hands to be proficient at English style. I had a knitting teacher make gentle fun of my knitting, because he told me I was twisting my stitches. I’m currently doing a shawl with miles of stockinette. I’m looking forward to doing this!!! ❤😂. It should go much faster.

Holy Smacks, this is fantastic! Super fast and you are real and lovely! Thanks so much, Swan

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶

So neat!! Just curious, why don't you just knit the stitches together like a two needle bind of instead of transferring them to one needle?

I've tried to knit continental but just can't do it.

So you use your middle finger to throw too? That's how I do it. Can't quite do it like Stephanie mcfee.

That speed is impressive

Love the bloopers!!

I held on to only long needles 40 cm, I now have them only 20 cm... It smoothes things out, and helps to relax

It is always useful to watch the way someone works

I love Cat's Sweet Tomato Heel but I have always had issues with holes at the turn points on the left side, (while holding your knitting and the sock is still in progress i cannot seem to get my tension right and it frustrates me), but I am so happy that I found your adjustments because they really helped me get this heel right. You have earned a new subscriber and I will be watching your other videos to show my support. Thank you.

I was taught by my grandmother to throw but to never take my thumb off the needle, just use your index finger. Makes it far quicker.

The Chow-goo needles are too slick for me and heavy enough they are always slipping out of my knitting. I love these Prym needles and the join has actually never been a problem. Some of my favorites.

I really like them a lot. We are all different in the way we like to knit.

What a nice looking heels. Going to try!

That's a really cool technique, but I don't understand why you would want to stop the curl on a hat

What is the best way to join in the round when doing the traveling loop? Especially when doing K2P2, as I am a beginner.... thx.

Which is good for making roses? Poly or acrylic

THANKS FOR THIS TIP I STARTED KNITTING 4 weeks ago and this always happens

What pattern did you use to make your shawl/wrap?

Thanks but it is not enough ..you should show how you hold the yarn in your right hand ! It's of the most importance !

Thank you for such a thorough review! I only use fixed circular knitting needles, but recently took up tunisian crochet and they seem to be mostly interchangeable. With your video I know the addi click set would probably not work with my hand issues so I can skip those. Thank you also for including the nickel allergy info. I have to dig for that usually

And...I think continental is great for knitters that crocheted first.

I think you're a happier knitter when you knit however tf you want ❤ jmho 😅

I evaluate the movements of my knitting and crochet. I have learned that repetitive motion injuries usually happen when we are doing two directions. Like twist and moving back and forth. When we can make it so we have very few movements, it really helps. Mostly I'm fine with knitting except right now I'm doing a cabled cardigan and now I get to evaluate how to eliminate the twisting.

I know this video is a bit older. I haven't watched your lever video yet, but I am curious. I did increase my speed by utilizing ideas from lever, especially utilizing my left needle. I still knife grip, and I have no desire to flick. My right hand mostly moves forward and back, pick up the work. The twisting the finger of flicking doesn't work for me. Trying to hold the project in the pencil grip was hard for me which is why I didn't switch my grip.

Yeah, I love prym DPNs but NOT the circular ones.

Love your podcasts. You give lots of good ttips.

Eastern knitting is an answer to my prayers. I literally prayed over this this morning because I have been working on my sloppy edge stitch tension for years. Just hoping no one bursts my bubble by telling me I cannot knit this way for the course I am taking.

oh, it's "skyne?" I've been pronouncing it "skane" for the past 15 years

Thank you! ❤😘 I want to invest in a set of "square" interchangeable needles. I'm going to check if you've done a review of multiple brands of square needles. 💡

This is very helpful - thank you! However, I have ended up with quite a hole on the left hand side of the instep. Advice?

Before it was in the books now it’s on the digital media Nice tutorial ✨👍

I kind of knit that way naturally.

Too much wasted movement and time using your right hand to wrap around left needle. This is slow knitting.

OMG, ma'am! This is absolutely 100% what I was looking for. Although I'm a crocheter, I also like to diddle around with knitting looms. I made some hats and baby socks for our local hospital newborn nursery, and the video I watched show knotting the sock at the end which I absolutely did not like

The opening of this video literally brightened my day😂❤

I was an English knitter for about 50 years, having learnt from my mother, aged eight. Although continental knitting is faster and has tightened up my tension, I believe English knitting to be more relaxing and a more graceful way to knit. I will add that I am English, so maybe a little biased, but I agree with another comment made here, that there is a lot of snobbery concerning English style knitting 🙁. By the way, the style that you are demonstrating is how I was taught. Unfortunately I always had difficulty with tension, so I am going to have a go at tensioning it the way you have and see if it helps 😊.

Yup. Lotsa pressure to knit continental as if it’s better. Nonsense! English style. Shetland knitters are incredible.

Excellent advice. Thank you.

When you have self striping yarn the pattern will be disturbed, because you knit the first part of the heel in the round. You get more and more stitches so the striping becomes different. I ,m still searching how to knit this heel with a different color so the striping yarn will not be used for the heel.

As a beginner knitter I wanted to know why and how I made those mistakes and your swatch of horrors popped up. Your fun light hearted video with some silliness involved captured my attention. Loved this. Subscribed!

Question? Since we're making our ds do you stil slip one after turn??
