- Beginner Knitting with Marly Bird and Marly's Mom Lesson 2. It's time for Marly's Mom to learn to Purl, to knit Stockinette, to learn to read her knitting, and to learn to Bind Off Knitwise and Purlwise!
After watching Lesson 1 and the In Between Lessons, Lesson, you will be able to notice that Marly's Mom is getting more comfortable with her knitting. She is starting to crack jokes and really understand what she is doing.
This is incredibly encouraging to Marly and all hopefully to all of you as well.
Please remember, these lessons are to be watched as a class. You are supposed to work along with Marly as she teaches her mom to how to knit and everything else that comes with that. If you are looking for quick instructions--these lessons are not what you want.

I’m learning how to knit. Took a Michael’s class with you teaching recently and now I’m knitting and purling. Watched several others explain things but then they go into other details that overwhelms me with tmi. Throws me off. I appreciate your sticking to one subject at a time, giving us just enough to know why and how this happened without going down a rabbit hole. I keep finding myself coming back to your tutorials. Thank you!
I watched about 8 other videos and crated all kinds of messy looking knots. I have been doing loo, knitting for about 2 years and decided to try it with the needles and was very disappointed until now. I was so happy when I came across your video, now I am knitting with needles. Thanks to you and you Mom
that is absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to see what you create!
Marly is the best teacher.
I'm watching this a few years after it was posted (in the age of covid) as someone who already knows how to knit, but want to learn how to teach others in a clear and easy way. I think it's soothing for beginners to listen to someone also learning, especially in this era of covid where you aren't able to sit in physical class.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow!! These videos are so amazing! Thank you! And so sweet of your mom to volunteer too. I was exactly in her spot.. and thank to you, now I can knit a bit! So excited!!! 😆
I haven’t knit in 3 years, so I decided to watch as a refresher. Yes, Marly’s Mom, we have all been where you were. You are both great!
thank you.
I love your Mom. She makes the class fun and less intimidating. 😊
I'm having a blast watching you two! Thank you for letting us into the experience.
Madly, I learned to “knit” 40 years ago. A friend of my grandmother’s taught me how to make mittens! I learned knit and purl, ribbing, stockinet Stitch and increasing all at the same time... It wasn’t until Harry Potter came along that I learned to use circular needles... but as I grew older and watched other knitters, I realized that although my projects all turned out right, I had developed my own version of knit and purl. Your videos are teaching me the right way to do everything....like Long tail cast on, and even yarn over which always confused me. Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly,
Really enjoyed these instructional videos with your Mom. I got so much out of this. Thank you!
Marly I love u and ur mom I’m a beginner knitter I watch 2 of ur videos already and I love the love between u and ur mom y’all had me laughing y’all taught and explain very well to understand gonna give it a try I’m a crocheter
You and your Mom are so cute together. I loved the knitting lesson. You cleared up so many questions I had. I can't wait for more. Tell your Mom she is doing great! Thanks for making this video.
Just keeping the stitches at the top of the needle has helped my tension so much!!! My rows are finally looking a lot better and consistently even!! I tried to knit many years ago but my worked was a mess, loose than tight... Thank you so much for these videos! You and your mom are the best.
Well this was excellent. Super clear, very endearing. I’m a knitter now too Marly’s Mom!
Wonderful!
Thank you sooo much Marly & Marly's mom. I have tried and tried to knit. I have not only threw the needles across the room, I have thrown the last ones out the window while traveling. That was the last time trying which was about 15 yrs ago. I have been crocheting for 40 yrs. I made this swatch today and got so excited I have taken photos to show my sister who knows how ackward I feel trying to knit. So a very huge thanks to the both of you. Happy knitting to the both of you.
yes! We're liking it!! I have been knitting for years. Its still great to see you teach a beginner. I am making a stockinette stitch blanket with garter edges while watching!!
I just found these videos of yours and it’s bringing back memories of when I learnt to that when I was 9 1/2 but I’m left-handed so I did find someone who could teach me that was left-handed
I’ve decided to learn and so far your lessons have been wonderful. Thank you. ❤
Thank you so much for these videos. They are helping me a lot.. Love your mom
I have been knitting for many years as taught by my mother. When I tried to make the crescent shawl I kept running into trouble so I decided to review your lessons from the beginning.
I am left handed and my mother was right handed. I now realize that although I produced a knit and a pearl stitch I was not doing it correctly. When I tried to KFB it kept coming out wrong.
The pace of your lessons are wonderful. I can really see how to place my yarn.
Wonderful!
Omg thank you!!!! I have been trying to knit for 5 years and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get past the knit stitch and even then that was frustrating!!! This was my #1 thing I wanted to accomplish in 2019 and your video helped me accomplish it 4 hours into the new year.
BEST. COMMENT. EVER!
@@MarlyBird I have my very 1st knitting project on my needles, I could literally dance with joy right now!
I loved watching you and your mom together. You reassuring her made me relax and just stop over thinking it.
Great video! I loved the comment about your grandmother only knowing one stitch. Well I crochet like crazy and I’ve always wanted to knit, I could never get the other stitch😊 this video has helped me tremendously!
Thanks so much!!! Previously I had attempted to learn from a video and I kept finding that I had extra stitches and I could not figure out why. I got discouraged and put it away. Now I understand that I was neglecting to move my yarn forward/backward BETWEEN the needles. I feel like I can try this again and be more successful. Your lessons have encouraged me to give it another go. THANKS!!!
I am enjoying watching you teach your mom to knit. Thanks for the lessons. So far I am keeping up with you. From now on I will be learning along with your lessons. Can't wait. See you later. I am going to try a scarf.
Marly this is such a wonderful class for me and with your Mom......VERY SPECIAL!!!!
I love this! Wow your mom is really good, you can see her stitches well and they look way better than mine! I am having turds luck with purling!
I use to love knitting with my mum. We use to knit together every time we got together
you are a good teacher, and your mom is a hoot. thanks, you got me knitting again after 40 years!
You guys are an absolute hoot! I started knitting on January 21 -- using your Lesson 1 video with your Mom. I am loving learning with you both. Keep up the good work, Mom! My daughter knits beautifully for 3 years now. My mother was a beautiful knitter as well. I was always afraid I couldn't do it ... because I tried to crochet years ago and could not hold my tension worth a darn. I am doing this now! Thank you so much.
So sorry you two aren’t having fun! Seriously though, I’ve crocheted for 40 years and have always wanted to knit. You have given me great instruction an confidence. Thank you! I might add that I recently gave crocheting lessons to a young woman (left handed!). No easy task. You do a great job!
Hi Marly! This is fun watching u teaching your mom knit. 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ I know how to knit but I am having a hard time to keep my yarn on fingers. I am still looking whats work for me (tension!)
Marly & Marly's mom, you are fabulous! Thank you so much for the videos.
I have been meaning to watch these videos for awhile. The two of you are so great together. I found out something while watching them. It isnt easy for me anyway to watch knitting videos that are tutorials while trying to crochet. My hands wanted to react to what was being said. I also knit so I have that muscle memory. I finally just stopped and enjoyed watching you teach. Great job Marlys mom! Great watch for sure. 😂😁😂😁
Thank goodness I found your videos. You really are an excellent teacher and I feel very comfortable with what I've learned so far. I've always been a crocheter but every time I would look at patterns, I'd say, "Grrrr. It's a knit pattern." This year I just decided I'm not saying that anymore and I decided to teach myself to knit...but I really needed your help. So thank you. And you're mom is awesome!
Hi I new to knitting however by watching you and your mom I have been able to get may blanket started thanks a bunch
Wow Marley I actually am learning to knit! I inherited my moms and grandmas knitting needles and can keep something that resembles a fabric😆 so freaking excited TYTYTY your mom is aeesome🤗🌺💜
These 2 lessons were so helpful! Thank you
Marly's Mom you are so funny and make me not feel so bad when trying to knit. my mom tried to teach me and I decided that crocheting was my skill. I want to try again since it has been over 25 years ago since I was taught because of you and Marly.
WOW! AMAZING KNITTING LESSON! I had too much fun learning! Love it! Thank you both so much! I like knitting needles you used!
Yes you are a great teacher..i am learning a lot..i love how you explain things so well..now I know what the stitches look like ....Please don't stop yet!! your mom did super too!!
Man, I wish I saw this video when I was learning to purl. I think this would of made my life easier. I enjoy watching you and your mom learning together. You two look like you're having fun!
Ya'll ladies just crack me up but I love learning from Marly Bird!!!!
Thank you. We do have a LOT of fun together.
Marly, thank you thank you thank you for making these videos. I am an obsessed crocheter for over 20 years and for the last year I have been trying to learn how to knit because I love the look of knit! I just couldn't grasp it. I would get so frustrated because I felt I was doing it wrong. Holding the needles felt awkward and the stitches seemed loose which is totally not how they are in crocheting. After watching your videos, I finally got it! You are such an awesome instructor. I also learned how to do planned pooling finally by your videos (which led me to finding your knitting videos. So, if I haven't said it enough already....THANK YOU!
You're very welcome.
I am sooooo glad you made these beginner knit videos with your mom. My mom has been trying to get me to knit for a couple years (I am an advanced crocheter), and i resisted her. I didn't understand it, didn't want to understand it. But I'm interested now. Your videos are very good and the best I have seen. Thank you so much for this. I have watched the first 3 and plan on trying the shawl you were talking about.
I am catching on finally, you guys are great!! Thank you - mom you’re doing good!! 😊💕
I absolutely LOVE your videos!! You're such a great teacher! I've always crocheted but I wanted to try Knitting. I actually found your video on facebook randomly and I haven't stopped watching your videos and watching them a few times to get the concept and then getting my materials and going to work. You and your mom are adorable and remind me of my mom and I.
i love your videos Marly. you taught me to crochet and now you're teaching me to knit. love love love it. also you guys are adorable. keep them videos coming.
Marly's mom is adorable. . Marly your doing a great job. Thank you.
These first two lessons with your Mom were amazing. Thank you so much, a true inspiration! On to lesson 3.
Thanks so much for the great videos! I just love you & your mom -- you're both so cute!!!
I really enjoyed this knit along, your mom is awesome! Good job!
I'm finally catching on how to knit after 7-8 attempts! Thank you so much!
love watching you two together, so cute and love to see such a good relationship between mother and daughter. Fab channel!!
I am loving this!
OMGoodness ... when she said "If you nudge me again, I'm gonna knock you off your chair" I about died!! You two are SO fun!!!
+Grammy H. we are still laughing about that!
Great video. I am self taught and practice is defiantly key here.
Any tips on counting how many rows? That's where I get confused. U live watching you and your mom!
Oh my so funny! How wonderful. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for these videos! I love your explanations. You two are a hoot I wish I was there learning with your mom 😂❤️
You are so welcome!
Just happened onto your you tube channel. I have been knitting for neatly 63 years as my mom taught me when I was 7, but I really love you and your mom together. You are a great teacher. I was actually watching the 3D braid you were teaching and came across the learn to knit sessions. You are hilarious. Keep up the good work. I would love to learn how to continental stitch. It is just to fiddley for me. I’ve been trying though. I always thought you knitted from the back of the knit stitch not the front. Is there something wrong with doing that way?
This is wonderful. Thank you (and your mom)!!
I love your mom she's hilarious and I love the way you explain it
Great video! Enjoyed it so much.
I just finished lesson 1 and 2 and I am soooo Happy! Practice a little more and on to the Garter Stitch Shawl by Marly Bird 😊😊😊
+msj0856 yes! This makes me very happy!!
I've thrown two sets of needles I'm ashamed to say trying to learn knit after being diehard crochet addict for 20 years. thank you for these videos
thank you these beginning knitting lessons have helpes alot. you are both funny
You 2 are amazing! Thank you so much for these lessons. For the first time in years I actually didn't feel like an idiot and I got the swatch done perfectly. My oldest daughter thinks I'm insane for being so happy with my progress.
You now have some fans too, Marly's Mom! :D
I am on my way -- loving this class!!
Fantastic tutorial.
Love this!
Have anymore videos with you and your mom been made? I just love learning with your mom. You explain everything so well. Just wondering what a good project would be to do after watching the videos with your mom?
Thank you so much for these videos
Mom and I did a video for the Big Stitch Throw. But other than that she hasn't been back in the studio with me. ruclips.net/video/NIYY96c1-jw/видео.html
I thought the garter stitch shawls behind you were vests. Such a beautiful design and colorway. Thanks for the videos I am so much better at working these stitches. Wish I could send you a picture.
First, I absolutely love the tutorials! You are a fabulous teacher and your Mom is so awesome! Now, I have been able to follow along and do the work so far... But... I am mostly left hand and I noticed that I had to turn my work over to see the V on the knit. It looks good with a few minor mistakes. My question is am I knitting backwards?
OMG you two are cracking me up so much lol. So a knit is a back cross up and a pearl is a top cross down, the yarn wrap is always the same direction counterclockwise?
Marly, you are an awesome teacher! And Mom was a terrific student! Are those acrylic needles? Where would I find them?
Yes, they are acrylic and I got them at Michaels I think. I don't really recommend them as they REALLY stick to the yarn and make it difficult to move the stitches along but they are good for beginners who tend to drop their stitches.
Thanks! They look like they would be just the opposite. Interesting.
I watched a ton of videos and yours is the only one I understood. I’ve got the knit stitch down but I cannot to the pearl stitch! My knit and pearl rows look the same and sometimes my yarn ends up on the bottom of the row. Thoughts?
are you moving the yarn between the needles before you go into the stitch? are you letting the work flow down the needles?
*Thank you so very much! I'm not there YET, but now I have loads of H O P E !!! :))*
You gals are adorable!😍😁😂😂😂
Thank you!
Why did you decide to teach English knitting versus continental? Love the video btw!
That is what she wanted to learn :)
I've discovered from watching your videos that I've been wrapping the purl and knit stitches wrong, lol!!
+Lisa Vitale well, now you know and will be an even better knitter :)
❤️❤️❤️
can you do a video on your Denim infinity scarf
What size knitting needles are these
awesome,so much funn
I think marly's mom learnt faster than me. It took me over a year since I thought myself
Marly please say work the stitches. I was so confused with knitting the knit and knitting the purls.
I can appreciate your confusion. However, because I am trying hard to teach the importance of reading the stitches on the needle, saying 'Knit the Knits and Purl the Purls' requires the knitter to actually take a second to look at the knitting and read it.
I hope that make sense. You can always just ignore me and in your own head say 'Work the Stitches' :-) I won't be mad.
I hope you are doing well Debra and I can't wait to see what you knit!!! oxoxo
I learned today in watching a video of Gayle King interviewing Michelle Obama, that Michelle Obama spent the Covid years teaching herself to knit watching RUclips videos.
Why isn't this CC? I need to have all the videos CC. I'm hard of hearing and I'm also speaking on behalf of the hard of hearing and deaf community.
We are working on that. I have asked for help in this area. Not all videos uploaded are automatically CC.
Are there only four videos?
+Dianna Stoutenburg There are more coming as she learns. I have an entire series planned for her.
Omg !! yesssss!!! thank you!
why is my last stitch always so loose?
+Amy Ramos because it doesn't have a stitch on both sides to hold it in shape. When you knit your first stitch of the next row, wiggle the stitch made and tug the yarn at the same time. That will snug up the stitch.
Thank you! I finally figured that out after I played a bit.
I am not a kniter I know nothing about knitting but watching your Mom knit is confusing,,,sorry I am not trying to be mean ,, but it looks confusing watching her knit?????
Hi Susan,
I understand you consent and that is I why I also knit along with her. Her involvement is supposed to show the viewer that their struggles are not only theirs.
I do have to ask, did you watch video 1, or 1.5? Did you knit along with us?
You two look more like sisters. Your Mom does not look old enough to have a grown daughter!
+Virginia Jackson mom says THANK YOU!!
You to are sofunny
