OMG!, I’ve been knitting for about 9 years and I’m only now discovering the Incredible & Amazing Norman! First, let me say what an excellent teacher you are, and that even starting with your beginner clips, I am learning so much. I love the slow motion views. I love the finger dancing, so love that you aré constantly giving suggestions to make the knitting experience rewarding: different yarns work differently on needles made from various materials, so change yarns, change needles, be flexible. It’s all good. I so need to hear that.
@@sarahbruck7538 Well, my channel is only around for like 1 year, so that might explain things *grin* Still, thank you for your lovely feedback and very happy to hear I was able to help you along!
This was the most helpful beginner knit video I have found. I really appreciate that you taught not only a basic stitch, but you also went over how to switch colors, add different stitches, and add a fringe. I'm impressed by how much I learned with such a relatively short video. Very effective!
I'm "over 25" as I say, and am a beginner at knitting. My wonderful friend, so patient, is teaching me but I'm still struggling with remembering some of the instructions. Your videos have been a great help visually and I wanted to say "Thank you."
I am a self-taught crocheter and wanting to learn how to knit. However, I find that process overwhelming. Well, until your videos. You provide a clear, easy to understand, and learnable instruction. Just thought I'd share so that people who struggle with knitting will take the time to view the videos. Kudos!
Hi, I'm glad that you talked slowly, so that people could follow you. Some people talk so fast that you are looking at the video 4 or 5 times just to get instructions.Thanks Again.
Great video. I’ve just taken up knitting to ease anxiety and it’s working.I’m off to get cotton yarn, the right sized needles, and other tools. I’m a piano teacher of 37 years. I know good teaching, and you are a great teacher. The technique of continental looks a little tricky but with some rewinds I can get it. I love that in one video there’s three styles! Thanks again. 😊
Hi Norman, What a great tutorial!!! Thanks for the tip on sewing in the ends, I am also a crocheter and hiding ends are much easier in crochet, in knitting I never know where to go to hide ends.Thanks for all you do!!!
I've knitted for many years but I knit the English way. I'm a slow knitter and have been thinking about learning Continental knitting so more projects will get done :-). Your video was extremely good, both with the visual knitting aspect and your information, you answered many unanswered questions for me.
this is the best beginner video i have seen!! ive been struggling to understand other people but i understood exactly what you were saying!! thank you for posting this!!
I learned "throwing" b/c I learned knitting from pictures in a book. I LOVE that you show "picking" close up & that you explain simply but not simplistic. I have wanted to learn that method for a while now. Thank you so very much! :)
thank you for mentioning that we need to wrap the yarn counterclockwise on knit AND purl stitch, I thought that was so, but no one on any video I watched mentioned it!
I'm "over 25" as I say and a relatively new knitter. My dear friend, who is so patient, is teaching me. I have just watched your video on Continental Knitting, which is what I'm learning and it was very helpful to refresh the techniques. As so many of your other subscribers have said, the slow motion portions of your videos are extremely helpful to your worldwide followers. I, personally, would like to see some of your work since you have been knitting so many years. Thank you for teaching so many these skills!😊
This is so helpful! As many others I started with crocheting and was very intimidated by the thought of having to handle two needles at the same time 😅 But now it doesn’t seem so difficult anymore, thank you so much for your videos!
ive been trying to knit on and off for the past few months after crocheting fir the past year, and this is the onlu tutorial that clicked and let me get past casting on:)
I was searching for knitting teaching videos but so far all those were out of my understanding like it's for not basic but those with little knowledge with knitting.. But suddenly yt recommended me your video that's it.. It's easy to understand and very clear.. Thank you teacher 😊
Hi! I enjoyed learning and will practice more. I succeeded in finishing my first square though I had a hard time at first since my fingers and wrists were stiff😊. Thank you as your pace in teaching was just right for me.
they need to learn the new motions at first. so remember to take breaks and stretch them out a bit. and congratulations on finished your first little square!
Oh my goodness!!!! I just discovered your channel and I am soooo happy to find you!! I am a crocheter and I wanted to learn to knit and I have been trying some other techniques and they were so bad I really was about to give up but, this style of casting on is so much easier and cleaner than the others I tried. Thank you, thank you!!
ha...you don't want to know how much time I spend on manicure ever since I started this knitting channel. I'm telling you..macro lenses make make your hands look like you came straight from 4 hours of gardening even if you just came out of the shower, lol.
Norman!!! I made 2 coasters today!!! One simple and one fancy! Thank you, thank you! What's the next best project for a beginner? Or should I keep going with a few more coasters?? I defer all decisions to you. Your teaching is so clear and totally resonates with me. Around here, my family says I've been Normanized. So true!
haha...okay. But if you have been properly Normanized then you'd know that all the decisions rests with you and what brings you joy, Lisa. :P I have a tutorial here on youtube for super simple fingerless mittens. That could be a project you might look into and it's not very difficult either. Though, maybe a simple scarf in garter stitch using a nice chunky and warm yarn could also be a nice project - especally as it's virtually the same as knitting a coaster..just longer and wider :)
@@NimbleNeedles Ha! So true! I may do the scarf first. My big goal has always been the gloves. :) I do much better with small wins first. Thanks for being there for all of us, Norman!
@@lisadavis3643 well, then let's make a deal. you knit a scarf, then you try fingerless gloves...and in the meantime I'll work on a proper tutorial for gloves (which I am already planning)
Ugh. When I tried to do this pattern, something went wrong. By the time I got to the 5th row, I somehow had four more stitches than I started with. I don't understand. Thanks for the tutorials though. I find you to be the most helpful content creator on RUclips for knitting. Keep on being awesome.
Bringing back memories; I learned knitting in Germany when I was 5 years old. I knit already 77 years and enjoy knitting every day. I love knitting Fishermen's pattern for scarves and caps. But knitting the Fishermen's pattern in the round does not work for me. What am I doing wrong ?
Hi again, Norman- I am back with my cotton yarns to make some serape coasters for my hacienda. My question is about how the coasters work. I live in Southern California, ice in every drink. Do I need to put a backing on these coasters? Will the coasters wick the “sweat” from an iced drink without staining the wood coffee table? I’ve looked at your double knitting, is two layers safer for my table? In that case, would it be better to sew two layers together and hide a plastic barrier between the knits? These are more functional questions rather than strictly knitting questions, I know, but I did want to tap into your immense knowledge!
Well, cotton soaks up quite a lot of moisture so you probably won't need any backing. I mean...at the end of the day you can just try it but i never had any issues. Then again, it's not that hot here in Germany :P
Thx a lot! I used this video to try kniting for the first time. It was easy to follow step by step. It didn’t turn neat and surely it isn’t a square but it was fun! I just dont understand why from 19 stitches after few rows it became 35..😲🤨???
Hi there, could do with a bit of advice :) The wool you have is 16 sticthes, 22 rows 10x10. With that, you cast on 19 stitches and bind off at row 28 The one i have is 18 sticthes and 27 rows 10x10cm. To follow their pattern, how many more stitches should I cast on /rows to knit ?
I am not sure I can follow your questions? Is this about gauge? This is a little coaster for beginner, so size won't matter a lot. Also the gauge on a yarn label is typically in stockinette stitch and this is garter stitch, so you would probably be fine. And if your coaster ends up being a tiny bit larger...i mean, it doesn't really matter, does it? But you could just cast on one less stitch.
I need to learn how to purl continental style. I figured out how to knit this style, but I need to learn purling. I've knitted since I was 5 years old, and I just turned 74. My pointer finger middle knuckle is swollen and sore, and has been for a long time. I need to change.
Dear Norman, I bought wool and it said on the label for 10cm 28 stitches and 39 rows on 2.5 or 3mm needles. BUT when I knitted my swatch it was 31 stitches and 56 rows with 3mm needles. I did seed stitch instead of knitstitch. Is that a normal deviation from the gauge on the label??
Hello Norman! Thanks for this tutorial. I'm using the same yarn as You and Can You tell me how many coasters, like these ones in Your video, can I make from one yarn? More or less, I know that this depends on my technique and pattern, but I'm curious if I can make set of four from one skein of this yarn :) Have a nice day!
Yeah you can but because there isn't an edge at the end of skewers when knitting needles do, it can be difficult. But it's doable and is a creative way around spending extra money :)
for practise, sure. why not? :) But be aware that acrylic doesn't really soak up a lot of water..so for entirely practical reasons, cotton might be a better choice.
Hi there ! Great tutorial. I'm struggling bc my knits are so tight! I am constantly adjusting the yarn just so I can do that knit stitch. Any reccomendations?
Hey Rachel, happy to hear you like my tutorial! It's a bit hard to tell what exactly you are doing wrong there but I'd try a different tensioning method. Maybe just wrap it around your pinky/index finger (whatever you do) once...or maybe just weave it through your fingers? Does this help?
@@R.Z_09 I see. Well it's really difficult to put this in words but you "only" need to relax. And that will come with practice. Most beginners grip their needles too tightly cuz their muscles and brain aren't used to the new motions yet.
That will depend on the yarn you are using but the worsted cotton of this video is definitely thick enough. I mean, your hot drinks aren't 200° right? 😅😊
Thanks for the quick reply! I will be using cotton yarn and needles with size 5. Should I change something in the pattern due I am using different type of yarn and needle size or can I just follow the pattern? Haha, no my hot drinks are not that warm 😂
@@haranniumakanthan4 you should probably be able to follow my pattern to a word. I mean, your coaster will probably end up a tiny bit smaller so you could cast on 2 more stitches if that's something you are worried about (but that's hard to say because I don't know how tight or lose you knit).
I am so happy to find your channel! I am self taught and struggle sometimes. I would say I am an intermediate knitter but going back through your videos explains a lot that I have missed from being self taught! I love your explanations and speed is neither too fast or too slow….. just right! Thank you again….
Hey Amanda, I picked this cast-on technique for a reason. It may seem a bit complicated at first, but it makes all the rest of the project so much nicer and easier. If you want, you can also do the single-cast onnimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-do-the-single-cast-on/ It's much much easier but the first row will be very difficult to knit. You could also do the knitted cast-on: nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-do-the-knitted-cast-on/
Make sure to comment with all your questions and problems you are facing while knitting this coaster.

Hi again, Norman- I am back with my cotton yarns to make some serape coasters for my hacienda. My question is about how the coasters work. I live in Southern California, ice in every drink. Do I need to put a backing on these coasters? Will the coasters wick the “sweat” from an iced drink without staining the wood coffee table? I’ve looked at your double knitting, is two layers safer for my table? In that case, would it be better to sew two layers together and hide a plastic barrier between the knits? These are more functional questions rather than strictly knitting questions, I know, but I did want to tap into your immense knowledge!

Probably when u turn around, u pull the stitch down or the yarn gets caught and that creates two loops.
Hi there, could do with a bit of advice :)
The wool you have is 16 sticthes, 22 rows 10x10.
With that, you cast on 19 stitches and bind off at row 28
The one i have is 18 sticthes and 27 rows 10x10cm.
To follow their pattern, how many more stitches should I cast on /rows to knit ?
I am not sure I can follow your questions? Is this about gauge?
This is a little coaster for beginner, so size won't matter a lot. Also the gauge on a yarn label is typically in stockinette stitch and this is garter stitch, so you would probably be fine. And if your coaster ends up being a tiny bit larger...i mean, it doesn't really matter, does it? But you could just cast on one less stitch.
at the begining, my last cast on stitch fell off, how do I add it back on
By casting on one more stitch 😁

I need to learn how to purl continental style. I figured out how to knit this style, but I need to learn purling. I've knitted since I was 5 years old, and I just turned 74. My pointer finger middle knuckle is swollen and sore, and has been for a long time. I need to change.
Have plenty of videos on purling here on my channel 😎
Dear Norman, I bought wool and it said on the label for 10cm 28 stitches and 39 rows on 2.5 or 3mm needles. BUT when I knitted my swatch it was 31 stitches and 56 rows with 3mm needles. I did seed stitch instead of knitstitch. Is that a normal deviation from the gauge on the label??
The gauge on the label is a non-information. Still, seedstitch is a k-p combination so it will have a drastically different gauge.
Does the potholder have to be made of cotton? Or can it be acrylic?
Well, cotton soaks up moisture...acrylic doesn't 🤷
can i use way thicker needles? im a newbie and a friend said its better to use thick and big needles for a beginner.
I'd disagree. Forces you to adapt the wrong motions. The bigger the needle, the harder to handle. 4-6mm is ideal for most beginners
Hello Norman! Thanks for this tutorial. I'm using the same yarn as You and Can You tell me how many coasters, like these ones in Your video, can I make from one yarn?

for this coaster? no
can i use 15mm needles? thats what i have to work with
Hmm..well, you'd need equally chunky yarn and the result would be closer to a blanket than a coaster

It's much much easier but the first row will be very difficult to knit.
You could also do the knitted cast-on: nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-do-the-knitted-cast-on/
