    Thank you! This was extremely clear and offered an explanation of why as well as how, which made the whole thing make sense. I also really appreciate that you use different-colored yarn - another video I watched had bright yellow yarn, and I could not for the life of me actually differentiate what was happening.

    Thank you!! I just bought a beautiful "honeycomb baby blanket" pattern from my local yarn store. My anxiety shot through the roof when they brought the pattern's short rows to my attention. They assured me it would become apparent and not at all scary once I started knitting the intermediate-beginner pattern, but I was still afraid to even begin until after seeing your amazing video. (BTW - the tone of your voice and delivery was super helpful in addition to the extremely clear demonstration!)

    I am confused because some people like Very Pink knits show that you move the yarn towards you first then you slip the stitch then you move the yarn away from you and then move the stitch back. so can you tell me why you only move the yarn once? Does it make a difference? Also I would like to know if you do it the same on the purl side?

    Thx for this vid. Would you also know how to "unwrap" the same stitch? I am following a pattern that instruct me, after knit so many short rows doing kw&t, to then do un&t. below are the instructions, word-for-word.
    Row 1 (RS) Knit to the last st, W&T.
    Row 2 Purl to the last st, W&T.
    Row 3 Knit to the 1st St before the last wrapped st, W&T.
    Row 4 Purl to the last wrapped st, W&T.
    Continue as established until there are 10 wrapped sts on each side. (Each side meaning each of needle 3 & 4 to turn the heel of a pair of stocking I am knitting). The pattern continue to read as such: Row 1 (RS) Knit to 1st wrapped st, UW, W&T.
    Row 2 Purl to the 1st wrapped st, UW, W&T.
    Row 3 Knit to the next wrapped st, UW, W&T.
    Row 4 Purl to the next wrapped st, UW, W&T.
    Continue until all sts are unwrapped. Resume working in the round.
    Could assist clearing this up for me, I never heard of or seen anyone, "unwrap" a stitch. Thank you

    I love that you show why it has to be done. But you stop too soon -- and are coy about picking up the wrap! There's still an extra bit of yarn (which doesn't show much in garter stitch, but would be ugly in stockinette) -- the wrap -- that has to be assimilated in some way when you next knit the whole row.

      Start by just watching the video a few times, without trying to knit, just to absorb the concepts. Then after you think you understand, try it with yours. I agree that you wouldn't be able to follow it and look at yours, especially at first! It would be information overload!
