      My aunt does knit, I've watched her knit a few things. Why do you use such huge knitting needles? You could knock someone silly with one of those things.

      Hi Dan,
      We use those big chunky needles because it makes the knitting easier for beginners, and much MUCH faster!
      You should give it a try :)

    in sixth grade i was part of the knitting club at my school. randomly clicked on this video and it reminded me of the kind old lady that managed the club. after i finished my lunch i would go over to her and we would all knit together until lunch ended. good times... maybe i'll start knitting again!

    This is such a beautiful blanket but this yarn is $24 per skein. It would cost close to $300 in wool to make this blanket. I could easily buy 2 or 3 sheep for that price and spin my own wool...lol

      I just started learning after Christmas. I made my mom some scarves and a shawl; she has cancer and the cold impacted her terribly. But now she would like a blanket, and I don’t know a good yarn that would hold up well for a blanket that isn’t super expensive; I’m ill and money’s tight. I want to do this for her, and to do it well, but... dang. And there aren’t knitting groups in my area to give me advice, and even if there were, they aren’t meeting now.

I think it's amazing that you'd use your gifts and talents to help those who are in such dire need. It's wonderful. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be living in Aleppo and being displaced and cold and scared. I would gladly take someone in and make them feel at home. Thank you for being so kind. It's nice to know there are people like you and not everyone is like Donald Trump.

    Thanks heaps for the easy tutorial. I'm practicing making, what my kid's call "anxiety blanket's" I've been using spaghetti yarn, it's really heavy & hard to fit all the stitches on my needles. I'd forgotten the basics again. The squares are the perfect solution.

    My question is
    How the heck do you fit the yarn through that needle? 😂

    • @anunohmouse7460
      @anunohmouse7460 5 лет назад +10

      You can use a needle threader... then you can break it like I did lol. Then you can try the fold technique like Chin Yin says, this one normally does it well and your woes end there... or you can be like me and give up on those methods, soak the end of your yarn in spit, flatten it out and push it through the needle head.
      I need to invest in some slightly bigger needles lol

    • @white4octtab929
      @white4octtab929 5 лет назад +4

      It's a yarn needle, has a big eye so it's easy to thread.

    • @raeg8242
      @raeg8242 5 лет назад +6

      If you want to be cheap use a paperclip.

    • @eldritchyarnbeing3295
      @eldritchyarnbeing3295 4 года назад

      A Nun Oh Mouse i take a piece of thread or thin yarn that i can easily fit through the eye, thread that so both ends are sticking out one end and the middle is sticking out the other, making a loop. then make the loop as big as you need it to fit the yarn through, and when you do, pull on both ends of the thread and it pulls the yarn right through too. i broke a few needle threaders too before finding this out and i hope it helps!

    This video is super helpful! I am currently learning from my Babi (Grandma) and since she is left handed and I am not, it is harder for me to learn. And since I do not have a lot of chances to visit her, I rely on youtube tutorials, and this saved me from a lot of struggles and questions! Thank you! ❤

    Never tried knitting before but really wanted to start, what a great tutorial. Also it's so strangely satisfying, like the little click of the needles and the shuffle of wool... Sounds like a great anxiety coping skill.
