oh DB 1978, we are all so grateful to our moms and grandmas for sharing these skills - we send you lots of love and hope that knitting helps to heal the pain of losing your mom xxx much love, Merion and the LoveCrafts team x
I knew going into this would be hard, and its not even hard physically, but my memory problems are causing me struggles to learn it and Im trying so hard to not cry right now, I am determined to try and stitch one row lol
@@idk-kx8nx watch a few different videos and you will find one that works for you. Also, I tried so hard with crochet and was shocking at it, but knitting just clicks for me. You might find something else is easier to start with?
Well I heartily approve, I would rather be learning how to knit! Keep up the good work (but don't forget to finish the essay!) kindest wishes, merion x
I am a 55-year-old grandfather covered in tattoos and love to ride Harley Davison while looking at me you would never imagine that I’d love to knit. And I would like to thank the woman in this video who showed me how to knit you are a wonderful and blessed person you took your time and I was able to understand you 110% the first thing I made was a #4 Rainbow yarn for a hot plate. Now I am going to knit my two granddaughters scarfs w/#6 I will show you them in a picture God bless you and thank you. I’m having so much fun
I love that Men now learn to knit n crochet .. keep on trucking n pushing those needles n hooks..it's sooo relaxing for the mind n body n creative..teach ur grandkids too n anyone..n learn to crochet too❤❤❤❤
For a person with adhd & a learning disability brain this tutorial was so helpful & I understood it so fast. The repetition & slow pace & an image of what you’re doing over & over helps a lot to learn in no time. Crocheting is so hard I gave up on it I couldn’t understand it or pick it up so I’m trying knitting & everyone says knitting is harder but this looks so much easier!!
It’s been really hard trying to improve my knitting after years of vigorous crochet. Getting a hang of it is a slow process and I keep returning to my crocheting hook out of sheer frustration. That being said, your tutorial is incredibly helpful and you sound so encouraging that it makes me feel better about myself just a tad bit more
Have you been able to learn it? I've been trying on and off and at this point I think I'm donating my knitting needles 😭 I can barely get two stitches and they're always so tight
@@alwaysreadin163 I still don't know why we can't use some very long crochet needles, like the hook is SO helpful, why make a pointed end instead? The tension is always wrong and it slips
@@glacialimpala true that! Isn't there a type of crochet that has a lot of loops on the hook at once? I think it's called Tunisian crochet, I've seen it floating around pinterest a lot. I usually have natural nails that are on the longer side (ie a bit over my finger tip) and I usually have to use my nail so I definitely second the hook thing lol
Just keep going in spite of the mistakes. I'm finding it easier as I just keep doing it and not trying to be perfect. I still prefer crochet but my wrist hurts if I do too much, so knitting will be an alternative.
I'm a 78 year old man trying to keep my little grey cells ticking and and thought knitting was a good idea, I've looked at a few sites before finding yours and although I've only just started watching I'm so impressed that I though pausing the video as you began to stick and telling you how much I'm impressed. Many thanks, martin
I see so many people here with a story for why they decided to learn to knit…. I just saw knitting needles when I was buying yarn to crochet with and thought “why not” and decided to learn
Thank you SO MUCH! I’m just learning to knit at 34. Have never picked up so much as a needle or yarn and was becoming a bit frustrated with some of the RUclips tutorials I was coming across. However, the way you explain things in a way a newbie can understand and repeat the motions is so helpful! I learned more watching 15 minutes of your video than I had in 2 hours fumbling through others!
Oh Cesar, thank you SO much for such kind words. I am thrilled to bits that you have found the video helpful and welcome to the world of knitting! It's great fun, and once you get those fingers working you'll never stop! Kindest knitting wishes, love from Merion and the LoveCrafts team x
Knitting and crocheting have been difficult especially to find videos that have clear and concise instructions with a demonstration. This is definitely the best video I’ve seen.
@@lovecraftscom not really but can u explain me in a way that everyone understand cuz umm and can u explain how to do the slip knot and thank u very much I hope u see this message and explain [ no hate ]
i’ve been struggling a lot with my anxiety and depression for years and have decided to take up a hobby and knitting has always always tooken an interest in me. i’ve always been drawn to it in a way. and this time i’m taking some action into learning. and here i am watching this video on repeat hoping i can catch on and once i’ve caught on and learnt my plan is to get the yarn & needle & practice and practice then hopefully start my own business once i’m good enough.
Took five days, two hours a day, but I'm finally understanding! Thank you so much for your How To. It's been immensely helpful in training my hands to do the work.
I remember my grandmother teaching me how to knit when I was very young. I am now 59 and have not knitted since the age of 10. Your tutorial was so helpful. I completed my first little knitting project in no time. I am looking forward to learning more. Thank you!
This was a perfect tutorial. I sat down with my grandchildren (10 & 7 years old) and my daughter and we all learned together. The 7 year old picked it up very quickly thanks to your tutorial.
My grandmother taught me to knit when I was a child. I remembered the knitting part but not the cast on/off part. This was very helpful. I appreciate it! :)
Hello Brodie!! I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the video - and I am delighted that it comes across as a friendly helpful hand! Thank you for leaving us a comment and telling us! Happy knitting! Love, Merion xx
my cousin was teaching me but she moved to California, thanks for helping i am making a blanket for my neighbors 15 year old who is blind, deaf, one eyed, and diabetic
Thanks for sharing your talents. I'm new to knitting, but can crochet and Tunisian crochet, so I'm going to learn knit. I'm starting with a basic like this so thanks. Pretty hands also 😊
Your calm and clear explanations are so appreciated! I started crocheting years ago and stopped without finishing my first scarf. I thought I had no interest or aptitude in knitting but your video has inspired me to seriously reconsider!
Hi Sophie, we're so thrilled you found this video helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment xxx I'm delighted you're getting into knitting, it's the most amazing hobby! Sending love and knitting wishes, Merion and the LoveCrafts team x
this is so genuinely peaceful and nice... I was having trouble with another tutorial and decided to try this one. I’m glad I did! you are so sweet and lovely, and everything just clicked for me when you were teaching ❤️
Oh Meagan you are so kind! I'm thrilled that it has helped you get started! Knitting is very personal and you just have to find your comfort zone!!! Sending kindest knitting wishes, Love Merion and the LoveCrafts team xx
After watching several tutorials (and I failed miserably) I finally learned thanks to you!!!! It’s slow coming but I’ll keep trying. I crochet better but there’s just something about the knit stitches I prefer. Thank you!
Struggled for 48hrs to learn this knitting until I found this video. Thank you! It was clear and concise, I was able to get the hang of it within 14 mins. Big thank you to the content creator!
You are so, so, so lovely! I learned this stitch as a child, but my Nana was the one who cast on and cast off for me. It seemed like magic! Thank you for showing me how to do magic in this video ☺️💖
THIS IS AMAZING! After watching your tutorial I just continued knitting and I am already halfway through a scarf. Such amazing instructions and I feel so happy doing it! Also gained the confidence now to knit something else. Thank you so so much!
Hey even if it’s old I still like it it was my first time watching this and I ask my dad can he buy me knitting supplies and he told me if only someone teaches me and u did I love this videos so much I now know how to knit
You taught me how to knit today! ❤️ I was told by my son’s school - today - that for his online (we just started last week) handwork class the only way for him to learn knitting (which imbibes so many skills for a 7 year old) was if I learnt how to knit and then taught him - as online handwork for little children is an oxymoron - as one needs the teacher by ones side. I was in a panic because knitting has never been a part of my world - embroidery, yes but never knitting. You managed to teach this to me......and online too! Thank you! ❤️
I cannot praise this video enough! I have tried to learn to knit several times and it never stuck. This video helped me actually learn and I'm so appreciative!
Best tutorial I’ve ever seen. I have dyslexia and comprehension issues so it’s really hard for me to follow tutorials. I’ve watched SO many videos on how to knit and I just thought I couldn’t do it. Until finally, I saw this one and learned how to. You 👏🏻can 👏🏻do 👏🏻it 👏🏻 to👏🏻
@@lovecraftscom omg! U read my comment! Right at this very moment I’m knitting a blanket for my baby sister’s doll. I’m 12 and love to crochet and now I love knitting too! I didn’t have knitting needles so I made my own out of a tree branch 😅 and my Christmas list is like only yarn now😂
This was the first knitting video I watched and I loved it. I couldn’t find it when I looked for it again and peeked at a few others - a world of difference! I was determined to find this video again. Both the technique and low key presentation of this one are ideal for a beginner, thank you so much!
I've been knitting since I was ten years old...almost 50 years and was asked to teach a young person. I am not great at teaching so this tutorial was just the perfect video. Thank you for explaining it so simply and showing it slowly. Beautifully done!
First timer here, using a make-shift Needle my husband made me from a bamboo skewers and makrame. Your explanation is very detailed and I made a beautiful bag out of it ❤️❤️
Amazing ... i went back to my school days.. just recollected what ever learnt 20 yrs before... thankyou so much the way you explained each and every loops. Thanks aunty. ❤
Thank you so much for the tutorial! This is truly the best one I've found on the internet. It's so easy to follow and very beginner-friendly. I'm now enjoying the process of knitting and it's all thanks to you
oh Lyndra! That is SO exciting! I hope the audition went well! Sending kindest knitting wishes and lots of luck, from Merion and the LoveCrafts team xx
I’ve never cast on like this! I’ll have to try. Thank you for the detailed tutorial! I’m trying to teach a friend to knit but it’s hard to break it down as nicely as you do.
Hi Kendyll, there are so many ways to cast on! It's great to use the method you know best, or the best one for the project - and we're glad this video helped you teach your friend! That's what we love about crafts - sharing the skills with each other! Kindest wishes to you both, with love from Merion and the LoveCrafts show xx
This helps so much! Especially since I am a hands on learner. I've been crocheting for 3 years now, and some of my customers prefer the knitting look instead of the crochet. So I decided to learn it. I looked at so many other tutorials and non of them clicked until I came on here for this video! I definitely subscribed and I am definitely coming for the second part for different stitches and what cute crafts to make ! ❤
Wonderful tutorial! Very clear explanations and demonstration to be able to follow along. I can officially say I've learned how to knit! Looking forward to making a scarf now. Thank you! ☺️🧶🧣
Wonderful! Learning to knit at 62 as it has been something I always wanted to learn. Have done crewel and embroidery so struggling with working with big needles! Feel quite clumsy! Your instructions are super! Your voice….. tone, speed, etc are perfect! Thank you!
Never knit b4, ty for the slow and thorough instructions. Def going to soon give it a try. I'm a crocheter but I love the look of knit on shawls. So I'm determined to give it a go.
Thank you so much Nathalie! Grab your needles and have a go! I am a crocheter too, and I love them both for different things! We'd love to hear how you get on - come back and tell us! Love, Merion xx
I know how to crochet and I finally bought some needles and wanted to try out knitting with a friend. It's only been half an hour and I already knitted a couple of rows! This tutorial is super clear and I can't wait to see what I will make in the future and how I'll improve
You couldn’t possibly know how much I mean it when I say this: Thank you. I am an extreme introvert and sometimes I just need a little me time. Knitting is just so relaxing and it’s good whenever I’m overwhelmed. Thank you so much for making this video so simple. I truly mean it ❤
This makes us smile so much! Thank you for you lovely comment. It is absolutely wonderful to hear that you have found your happy place in knitting and hope you will enjoy it for many many years to come! 🥰✨
One of the best, beginner friendly knitting channels around. Love her gentle instructions for beginners here. Not a total beginner here but just want to be reminded again and so glad I found this channel.
thank you so much - 3 years ago i went to new york and learnt how to stitch, made my first keychain and swatch. I totally forgot and lost my needles and yarn. It took and hour to find it and I watched this video to learn again and it was super helpful - I absolutely love your yarn colour and the thickness and your needles, they are perfect.
I don't normally write RUclips comments, but I've watched so many tutorials for beginners, and this is the only one that has made sense and gone slow enough to understand. Thank you so much
Hi Queen Prince and Ann without an e - you know what, you can do it! Just watch the video a few more times with no distractions and you'll get it! You can do it!!!! Love Merion & the LoveCrafts team xx
Amazing! Beginner knit student here, I've been watching youtube knitting tutorials all weekend to no avail and keep putting down my needle in frustration - I had a good feeling about your one - your calmness and kind demeanour helped motivate me to continue and I just knitted my first three rows ! yahoo! thank you!!
i've been crocheting for the last eight or so months and thought it would be fun to pick up knitting as well. just knit my first swatch thanks to this video! thank you so much, you made it so easy to understand!
I can not be the only one who physically can not get what he's doing, because it should be like looping around, I be like, ok, loops around, and then it will completely fail, I've been tryingfor an hour, I can not seem to get hang of this how
I mentioned my interest in learning knitting but having heard your tuition I'm incredibly impressed by your calm tuition and your voice is calm and relaxed, you also made me realise practice patiently and I'll learn, Many thanks again
Thank you for a superb instruction on how to knit for beginners. My 8 year old granddaughter has taught herself to do a stitch & is begging to learn the whole process. This is by far the best instruction for beginners. Thank you for this clear, easy to understand demonstration! So appreciated!
thanks! im 14 and an absolute beginner, im getting knitting needles for christmas. i love your voice its very relaxing and the video is really helpful!
It is December 2023 and I have just discovered your instructions and guidance. They are excellent -- and I am a 71-year-old absolute beginner, left-handed to boot. Thank you for the very clear instructions. Now I am going to learn to purl!
Was having trouble trying to crochet, so I switched to knitting. Used bamboo chopsticks as needles. Knitting's easier than crocheting. I'm glad. Thank you for this tutorial, madam!
I had already begun a renewal of long ago knitting skills as a girl, currently a retiree. From my in person tutoring, with your excellent video I have a good grasp on what to do. It is so very easy to follow what I see and what you say. I'm making cotton dish cloths for my first projects. Thank you!
Your instructions were so simple and easy to follow. And your voice and accent are very calming and enjoyable. I'm 52 and always wanted to learn, and today is the first day I have knitted.
I have always wanted to learn how to knit as my mum shared stories from her childhood of my nan knitting winter clothing for them. So here I am at 32 finally knitting all thanks to you! Your tutorial was so easy to understand and so much fun. Great teaching skills and I'm going to start on my scarf! You were right I was dreaming about the stitching technique 😅
I am a long time crocheter and have tried to learn to knit so many times over the years but could just never get the hang of it so I would give up and go back to my crochet hook. I decided to give knitting one more go and try a new RUclips teacher, found this video, got my supplies and FINALLY it has clicked! I am so excited! Thank you!
All my winter clothes when I was a baby knitted by my mom, now I'm learning from you so I can make a jumper for my mom, thank you very much for the first lesson
I had stopped knitting a few years ago, and this just makes me want to pick it up again. You have a very clear and soft voice which makes it easy for the beginner. Thank you for sharing! 🧶
I've been knitting for decades contibental-style, but to be able to use a knitting belt to aid with aching shoulders and fingers I had to learn to knit the British way. This is the first video I really understood! Thanks so much, you helped an old dog learn new tricks....❤
This fine lady is an excellent teacher. I don’t even have needles and yarn yet, but once I get them in, around, under, off!!!! Thank you Ms. Lady for an exceptional tutorial!!!!
So, I've watched SOOOOOO many videos on how to knit, I think that this lady is THE BEST. I find it's very easy to understand and follow the instructions!! 💞 I have a 2 year old grandson and I think my first project will be a scarf for him lol! He's 2,so he won't care!!
Thank you so much for such clear instructions. I tried watching a different video last night and completely gave up. Your instructions were so clear & easy to follow for a COMPLETE beginner like myself. This was my first time knitting ANYTHING! and i’m super proud of my little square!
I am a long time crocheter and love it. I have several patterns I want to do but are for knitting. I have watched probably 20 videos on learning to knit and just could not get it going! I was so frustrated. I have given it up at least 4 times. I LOVE this video! Your calm NOT condescending voice and how well you show things from several angles and slowly enough to follow along and not have to stop the video every 30 seconds to catch up! Thank you so much. I am going to see if you have other videos so I can keep going~
Thanks for teaching me how to knit. I have always felt frustrated looking at others' beautiful projects Your patiece and clear explanations have enabled me to start doing something I never dreamed possible. Blessings.
I learned crochet in lockdown and wanted to learn knitting next. Thanks to you I have made a small knitted swatch, thank you so much! For my first project I will be making a scarf for my husband.

“sticks” lol
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
You are so, so, so lovely! I learned this stitch as a child, but my Nana was the one who cast on and cast off for me. It seemed like magic! Thank you for showing me how to do magic in this video ☺️💖
This is so precious🥰 Happy making✨
I love this lady so much now I know how to knit and kitting is actually really fun!
Thank you so much
Once you get pass that first row it is enjoyable
@@pb5619 yes when I was first started it was really tight but when I went to other rows it got better
THIS IS AMAZING! After watching your tutorial I just continued knitting and I am already halfway through a scarf. Such amazing instructions and I feel so happy doing it! Also gained the confidence now to knit something else. Thank you so so much!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
Seven years old and my mom started knitting. and she’s mostly crochet and I thank you so much that you help me learn how to knit it was the best ❤
Hey even if it’s old I still like it it was my first time watching this and I ask my dad can he buy me knitting supplies and he told me if only someone teaches me and u did I love this videos so much I now know how to knit
Thank you so much Salaya, we're really happy that you've learned to knit! Love, Merion and the LoveCrafts team xx
I’m a crocheter and out of all tutorials this one helped me the most thank you sm (for what it’s worth I’m also using pencils)
You taught me how to knit today! ❤️
I was told by my son’s school - today - that for his online (we just started last week) handwork class the only way for him to learn knitting (which imbibes so many skills for a 7 year old) was if I learnt how to knit and then taught him - as online handwork for little children is an oxymoron - as one needs the teacher by ones side. I was in a panic because knitting has never been a part of my world - embroidery, yes but never knitting.
You managed to teach this to me......and online too!
Thank you! ❤️
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤❤
I cannot praise this video enough! I have tried to learn to knit several times and it never stuck. This video helped me actually learn and I'm so appreciative!
This makes us so happy- yay🥰
Love this tutorial, very good directions with lots of repeats!
Thank you Kimberly! Very happy that you loved it 🙂Merion x
I just want to say thank you I now can knit because of you
Love it so much thank you very much!
so simple in seeing but a little harder to beginner
@@lovecraftscom where did you buy this yarn where is it from x
Re-learning for my granddaughter that decided she wanted to learn Knitting.
IT WAS THE BEST CLASS OF ALL I LOOKED TO TRY AND REMEMBER.
Needed a “refresher” - This was PERFECT!
Same here. She’s so easy to follow to right?
Best tutorial I’ve ever seen. I have dyslexia and comprehension issues so it’s really hard for me to follow tutorials. I’ve watched SO many videos on how to knit and I just thought I couldn’t do it. Until finally, I saw this one and learned how to. You 👏🏻can 👏🏻do 👏🏻it 👏🏻 to👏🏻
This is so amazing! Thank you so so much for your wonderful comment- it really means a lot to us. Happy making, Merion x
@@lovecraftscom omg! U read my comment! Right at this very moment I’m knitting a blanket for my baby sister’s doll. I’m 12 and love to crochet and now I love knitting too! I didn’t have knitting needles so I made my own out of a tree branch 😅 and my Christmas list is like only yarn now😂
Very nice video instruction. It was 45 years since I knitted, I had forgotten much! This was one of the easiest to see and follow. Thank you!
This was the first knitting video I watched and I loved it. I couldn’t find it when I looked for it again and peeked at a few others - a world of difference! I was determined to find this video again. Both the technique and low key presentation of this one are ideal for a beginner, thank you so much!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤❤
I've been knitting since I was ten years old...almost 50 years and was asked to teach a young person. I am not great at teaching so this tutorial was just the perfect video. Thank you for explaining it so simply and showing it slowly. Beautifully done!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤❤
as a crocheter it feels like Im in a parallel universe
Same how do you slide it under the stitchhhhhhh
First timer here, using a make-shift Needle my husband made me from a bamboo skewers and makrame. Your explanation is very detailed and I made a beautiful bag out of it ❤️❤️
Your voice is so soothing to this American! Thank you for being so encouraging
I'm in UK and I also commented that her voice is calming.
She has a very nice British accent. 👍🏼 😁
Amazing ... i went back to my school days.. just recollected what ever learnt 20 yrs before... thankyou so much the way you explained each and every loops. Thanks aunty. ❤
You are so so welcome❤️🥰
Thank you so much for the tutorial! This is truly the best one I've found on the internet. It's so easy to follow and very beginner-friendly. I'm now enjoying the process of knitting and it's all thanks to you
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
Thank you - I have an audition tomorrow in which I have to knit and you saved me! :)
oh Lyndra! That is SO exciting! I hope the audition went well! Sending kindest knitting wishes and lots of luck, from Merion and the LoveCrafts team xx
I’ve never cast on like this! I’ll have to try. Thank you for the detailed tutorial! I’m trying to teach a friend to knit but it’s hard to break it down as nicely as you do.
Hi Kendyll, there are so many ways to cast on! It's great to use the method you know best, or the best one for the project - and we're glad this video helped you teach your friend! That's what we love about crafts - sharing the skills with each other! Kindest wishes to you both, with love from Merion and the LoveCrafts show xx

This helps so much! Especially since I am a hands on learner. I've been crocheting for 3 years now, and some of my customers prefer the knitting look instead of the crochet. So I decided to learn it. I looked at so many other tutorials and non of them clicked until I came on here for this video! I definitely subscribed and I am definitely coming for the second part for different stitches and what cute crafts to make ! ❤
That is so amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this with us and Happy making❤️
This is the best teaching I have seen.. It's great, easy to see and understand very simple. I'm ready for more.
Wonderful tutorial! Very clear explanations and demonstration to be able to follow along. I can officially say I've learned how to knit! Looking forward to making a scarf now. Thank you! ☺️🧶🧣
Wonderful! Learning to knit at 62 as it has been something I always wanted to learn. Have done crewel and embroidery so struggling with working with big needles! Feel quite clumsy! Your instructions are super! Your voice….. tone, speed, etc are perfect! Thank you!
This is such great feedback- thank you so much ❤️
Never knit b4, ty for the slow and thorough instructions. Def going to soon give it a try. I'm a crocheter but I love the look of knit on shawls. So I'm determined to give it a go.
Thank you so much Nathalie! Grab your needles and have a go! I am a crocheter too, and I love them both for different things! We'd love to hear how you get on - come back and tell us! Love, Merion xx
I've tried(and gave up) multiple times to knit but this tutorial is just *chef's kiss*
Aww that means a lot! Thank you so much ❤️
A lovely tutorial. So easily understood with lots of repeats. ❤ Thanks Merion.
I know how to crochet and I finally bought some needles and wanted to try out knitting with a friend. It's only been half an hour and I already knitted a couple of rows! This tutorial is super clear and I can't wait to see what I will make in the future and how I'll improve
I literally use chopsticks as needles and works well!
That's amazing🥰
This is the only video that has been able to re-teach me how to knit, thank you so much.
"In, around, under, off" it's like a music hahaha thanks
You couldn’t possibly know how much I mean it when I say this: Thank you. I am an extreme introvert and sometimes I just need a little me time. Knitting is just so relaxing and it’s good whenever I’m overwhelmed. Thank you so much for making this video so simple. I truly mean it ❤
This makes us smile so much! Thank you for you lovely comment. It is absolutely wonderful to hear that you have found your happy place in knitting and hope you will enjoy it for many many years to come! 🥰✨
Thanks! This was really helpful
One of the best, beginner friendly knitting channels around. Love her gentle instructions for beginners here. Not a total beginner here but just want to be reminded again and so glad I found this channel.
Nobody:
Me: Trying to knit
My crochet hook: *laughs*
thank you so much - 3 years ago i went to new york and learnt how to stitch, made my first keychain and swatch. I totally forgot and lost my needles and yarn. It took and hour to find it and I watched this video to learn again and it was super helpful - I absolutely love your yarn colour and the thickness and your needles, they are perfect.
🥰🥰🥰
My first time learning how to knit, what is the size of the needle? What kind of yarn is the best for beginners?
I don't normally write RUclips comments, but I've watched so many tutorials for beginners, and this is the only one that has made sense and gone slow enough to understand. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! That is amazing🥰 Happy making!
Everyone else: learns to make sweaters, hats etc..
Me: still cant make a slip knot 👁️👄👁️
IKR !? :
Hi Queen Prince and Ann without an e - you know what, you can do it! Just watch the video a few more times with no distractions and you'll get it! You can do it!!!! Love Merion & the LoveCrafts team xx
If you look she actually crosses the one she's going to pull through over the yarn on her fingers before she pulls it through
Amazing! Beginner knit student here, I've been watching youtube knitting tutorials all weekend to no avail and keep putting down my needle in frustration - I had a good feeling about your one - your calmness and kind demeanour helped motivate me to continue and I just knitted my first three rows ! yahoo! thank you!!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤❤
im right handed
i've been crocheting for the last eight or so months and thought it would be fun to pick up knitting as well. just knit my first swatch thanks to this video! thank you so much, you made it so easy to understand!
That is super exciting- all the fun projects ahead ❤️🥰
I can not be the only one who physically can not get what he's doing, because it should be like looping around, I be like, ok, loops around, and then it will completely fail, I've been tryingfor an hour, I can not seem to get hang of this how
You are very patient,, thank you, I’m going to purchase yarn are bamboo needles. Can’t wait
This is so exciting- yay🥰
I mentioned my interest in learning knitting but having heard your tuition I'm incredibly impressed by your calm tuition and your voice is calm and relaxed, you also made me realise practice patiently and I'll learn, Many thanks again
That's such wonderful feedback- thanks so much and Happy making ❤️
Thank you for a superb instruction on how to knit for beginners. My 8 year old granddaughter has taught herself to do a stitch & is begging to learn the whole process. This is by far the best instruction for beginners. Thank you for this clear, easy to understand demonstration! So appreciated!
thanks! im 14 and an absolute beginner, im getting knitting needles for christmas. i love your voice its very relaxing and the video is really helpful!
It is December 2023 and I have just discovered your instructions and guidance. They are excellent -- and I am a 71-year-old absolute beginner, left-handed to boot. Thank you for the very clear instructions. Now I am going to learn to purl!
That is so amazing to hear-yay! Happy making ❤️🥰
Was having trouble trying to crochet, so I switched to knitting. Used bamboo chopsticks as needles. Knitting's easier than crocheting. I'm glad. Thank you for this tutorial, madam!
You are so welcome! Happy making 🥰✨
Thank you for a very helpful video ! I'm a crocheter who has never been able to knit. Your video has encouraged me to have a go at knitting.
I had already begun a renewal of long ago knitting skills as a girl, currently a retiree. From my in person tutoring, with your excellent video I have a good grasp on what to do. It is so very easy to follow what I see and what you say. I'm making cotton dish cloths for my first projects. Thank you!
Your instructions were so simple and easy to follow. And your voice and accent are very calming and enjoyable. I'm 52 and always wanted to learn, and today is the first day I have knitted.
This is so amazing!🥰
I have always wanted to learn how to knit as my mum shared stories from her childhood of my nan knitting winter clothing for them. So here I am at 32 finally knitting all thanks to you! Your tutorial was so easy to understand and so much fun. Great teaching skills and I'm going to start on my scarf! You were right I was dreaming about the stitching technique 😅
haha amazing- so happy you enjoyed it! Happy making 🧡😍
I am a long time crocheter and have tried to learn to knit so many times over the years but could just never get the hang of it so I would give up and go back to my crochet hook. I decided to give knitting one more go and try a new RUclips teacher, found this video, got my supplies and FINALLY it has clicked! I am so excited! Thank you!
All my winter clothes when I was a baby knitted by my mom, now I'm learning from you so I can make a jumper for my mom, thank you very much for the first lesson
That is so very special 🧡✨
I had stopped knitting a few years ago, and this just makes me want to pick it up again. You have a very clear and soft voice which makes it easy for the beginner. Thank you for sharing! 🧶
I've been knitting for decades contibental-style, but to be able to use a knitting belt to aid with aching shoulders and fingers I had to learn to knit the British way. This is the first video I really understood! Thanks so much, you helped an old dog learn new tricks....❤
So amazing! Thanks so much for your kind feedback ❤️
I just found this and I’m thrilled with the careful and detailed instruction you provide. I’m getting back to knitting after an 11 year break.
This fine lady is an excellent teacher. I don’t even have needles and yarn yet, but once I get them in, around, under, off!!!! Thank you Ms. Lady for an exceptional tutorial!!!!
You are so kind! That's such wonderful feedback🥰🧡
I have watched 3 other peoples.Trying to learn how to knit and watch your video once.And now I am making a massive blanket for my mum
So, I've watched SOOOOOO many videos on how to knit, I think that this lady is THE BEST. I find it's very easy to understand and follow the instructions!! 💞 I have a 2 year old grandson and I think my first project will be a scarf for him lol! He's 2,so he won't care!!
Thank you so much for such clear instructions. I tried watching a different video last night and completely gave up. Your instructions were so clear & easy to follow for a COMPLETE beginner like myself. This was my first time knitting ANYTHING! and i’m super proud of my little square!
That's so wonderful to hear! Thank you for your kind comment and Happy making 😍🧡
I am a long time crocheter and love it. I have several patterns I want to do but are for knitting. I have watched probably 20 videos on learning to knit and just could not get it going! I was so frustrated. I have given it up at least 4 times. I LOVE this video! Your calm NOT condescending voice and how well you show things from several angles and slowly enough to follow along and not have to stop the video every 30 seconds to catch up! Thank you so much. I am going to see if you have other videos so I can keep going~
Thanks for teaching me how to knit. I have always felt frustrated looking at others' beautiful projects Your patiece and clear explanations have enabled me to start doing something I never dreamed possible. Blessings.
This is absolutely wonderful, yay! Happy making😍🧡
Thank you! You are a great teacher!
I learned crochet in lockdown and wanted to learn knitting next. Thanks to you I have made a small knitted swatch, thank you so much! For my first project I will be making a scarf for my husband.
That is so amazing! What a wonderful idea- we are sure your husband will love it 🥰❤️
You have explained this so well, you're a great teacher! I'm 60 years old, have crocheted but never knitted. Thank you!!!
That's so wonderful to hear- it's never too late to learn a new craft right? Happy making✨🥰
