Just purchased two of your books! Rest In Peace.. I’m loving your videos!!! You will live on in immortality!!! God Bless you. You are special And help me inspire other with art classes. Also, history of Moebius in your book is entertaining and funny. Love you!!!🧶 Creativity is your Kafma🙏🏻☕️🧶💕😘👍🏻
I loved your explanation of wrap and turns. I've never knitted socks before, but now I just want to try. Love your sense of humour. It makes directions easier to understand. Thank you.
You've probably gotten this trillions of times before, but once more (with feeling!): you are BRILLIANT and have saved me from strangling myself with sock yarn. Thank you SO MUCH. *worships* If all goes well, hope to go to Portland in August! :) Mary-Keith from Charleston, SC
Thank you!! I also have a huge smile on my face - love all your stories - when I need ANY help at all, I automatically check your site - I have countless thank-yous for you!! You have the knack to make the hardest things turn simple!! You are MyNumberOneKnitter!!!
This is so helpful. Learning wrap-and-turns and it was leaving an ugly mark where I have knitted my stitch with the wrap. THANK YOU!! Never saw this in any of the other numerous videos I watched. Genius.
Thanks, Cat. As always, you have demystified a knitting technique. So much better than what I have seen in print directions for wrap and turn. Now I can finish my Hannah Fettig Whisper Cardigan with some nice looking short rows.
Best way I have seen it done. Thanks Cat. I needed a refresher as I suffer from Fibromyalgia which affects my memory among other things and had already made one sock and finished the other part way through and couldn't remember what way I had done it. So I frogged back the first sock and had another brain freeze. So thanks as now I can finish both of the socks.
Thank you Cat...This video tutorial you did was the ONLY way this ever made sense to me.I never was able to figure it out in books and always got holes and just a total mess. You've made this very easy to understand and execute.
I just wanted to say I love your videos and the way you describe things! I like how you focus more on describing the motions rather than focusing on "left and right" needles and such. Makes is much easier for lefty's to follow your directions.
THANK YOU! especially for using multicoloured yarn, because it makes seeing the wrap so much easier. WOOHOO! I can tackle short rows without fear now! :D
Thanks for this demo! I've made a couple pair of socks and this is the best method I've seen for the W&T! I used it to make some socks for a birthday present.
I attended your class at Camp Yawatink and then watched the video for review. Thanks I enjoyed them both. Although, I missed seeing your face in the RUclips video, Elizabeth Palmer
Your new method works beautifully and I've already used it on three projects! It's great to be able to review the video before each. I've enjoyed all your videos, and I look forward to even more! Thanks so very much.
this is AMAZING! I have a hard time with other knitter's videos, for some reason, but you are a great step-by-step teacher, Cat! I learned to knot socks from your "Socks Soar on Two Circulars" book. I've been through three copies of it (I wore them out) and now found your videos! yay!
At first, I thought this would be a waste of time due to the severe bluriness. But she actually pulled it off pretty good. The multi-color yarn helped I think. Other than saying knitwise and slipping purlwise, she helped me get the hang of it.
Luv ur videos they are clear cut easy to follow. Luv how u explain the technique with stories, very entertaining, fake blond😂. Keep the videos coming. xoxo.
What if your pattern requires you to pick up the first group of wraps (the ones that you wrapped from the purl side) on the right side of the work -- not the wrong side. These stitches are wrapped in the opposite direction. How you would knit the wraps together with the stitch?
My friend, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but when I finish doing everything you explain so well and put the whole lot together (stitches) ONE side has a gap/hole in it. Can you help me, please??? I thank you in advance! (Regina)
Hmm, I think you might be saying that they do in fact count as Row 2 from my pattern. Because after I turn, I then have stitches on my LH needle ready to knit, i.e. "working back in that direction," and I think this might count as Row 2. Though I haven't completely "finished" Row 1 since I turned, I think what is meant by the term Row 2 is working the stitches back in the direction on the other side from which I came. So confusing, but your video really has been helpful, so thank you!
many thanks for that I think I know what to do now :) I would love to get a copy of your book but it appears you can't get it in the uk, do you have any distributors over here?
I would like to know how to pick up a purl wrap in stocking stitch on a circular needle. I have tried several times and nothing works.....it still leaves a hole.
Cat I can not find a video anywhere for the purpose I am trying to do. I am trying to knit a hat in the round with some writing of a second color in the front of the hat so at the end of each round I have to do the wrap and turn or the picking up of the wraps. It is driving me nuts that i can't find a video anywhere. Some video's never show you to pick up the wraps. None show there being a stitch maker for the beginning of the round and where to slip it also. I have huge holes. HELP... please
On the first purl wrap, you put the yarn in back, slipped, then wrapped to the front. On the second one, you put the yarn in front, slipped & wrapped to the back. Does it matter?
Thanks for the explanation, I have been having trouble with my wraps looking bad. One question - why do you wrap the last (unwrapped) stitch on the row together with the last wrapped stitch, at the very end?
Hi Cat, thanks for the great demo that has really helped. Can I just ask ... when you finish the wrapping do you unwrap all the Knit side 1st or do you do a row and unwrap a knit then go back over and do the same on the p side etc...? cheers
Unfortunately, the quality of the video is so poor, I can't see it but I am trying to do it by your word instructions. Please, redo this. You seem to be a great teacher.
Ok, first, when she says "knitwise" on the purl row, she made a mistake...it's a free video, and sometimes you get what you pay for ;-) She means purlwise, you slip knitwise on the knit rows, purlwise on the purl rows, to make the concealing part easier. When she slips the middle purl row by moving the yarn second, that was another mistake...although it's only a difference in tension...try it both ways, and see which gives _you_ better tension! Then be consistent.
Again, Cat, please create a clearer video. The technique is so good, but I know that I get very distracted by squinting and trying to see what you are doing. I don't think I am alone here, and apparently you delete these kinds of comments eventually.
Just purchased two of your books!
Rest In Peace..
I’m loving your videos!!!
You will live on in immortality!!!
God Bless you. You are special
And help me inspire other with art classes.
Also, history of Moebius in your book is entertaining and funny. Love you!!!🧶

OMG this is BRILLIANT! Thank you so much! I'm a man who knits and I have a BIG SMILE ON MY FACE :)

This is AWESOME instructions. I have have been afraid of wrap and turns until now :)
I just wanted to say I love your videos and the way you describe things! I like how you focus more on describing the motions rather than focusing on "left and right" needles and such. Makes is much easier for lefty's to follow your directions.
Oh!!! Thanks for the video!!!
I was frustrated that I couldn't fully understand how to w&t. Now! I clearly understand W&T!!!
THANK YOU! especially for using multicoloured yarn, because it makes seeing the wrap so much easier. WOOHOO! I can tackle short rows without fear now! :D
O yes! you are a trully TEACHER ! those sweet exaples compain this voice full of enthousiasm. lucky me i found you . thank you!
Thanks for this demo! I've made a couple pair of socks and this is the best method I've seen for the W&T! I used it to make some socks for a birthday present.
I do have a huge smile on my face! I loved your story, and it helped SO much!
Wow!! brilliant!! Concealing wraps! Cat - you're amazing!!
Thanks so much. This is the best wrap and turn technique I have ever done. It makes absolutely invisible turns.
I attended your class at Camp Yawatink and then watched the video for review. Thanks I enjoyed them both. Although, I missed seeing your face in the RUclips video, Elizabeth Palmer
I am so very excited to see this video series. I have been trying to do this for ages and every time rip back and revert to the heel flap.
Thank you! this is where I got stuck on my sock last night...now I'm off to use this. :o) GREAT video. Thank you.
Thank you Cat for this wonderful way to do it, must remember that next time I knit socks. Also thank you for your wonderful stories :)
Finally I can understand wrapping! Thank you so much.
Your new method works beautifully and I've already used it on three projects! It's great to be able to review the video before each. I've enjoyed all your videos, and I look forward to even more! Thanks so very much.
thanks, this was very clear so i finally understood what's behind 'wrap and turn'!
this is AMAZING! I have a hard time with other knitter's videos, for some reason, but you are a great step-by-step teacher, Cat! I learned to knot socks from your "Socks Soar on Two Circulars" book. I've been through three copies of it (I wore them out) and now found your videos! yay!
instablaster...
Thank you Cat!!! I hated the way it looked when I picked up my wraps, they always ended in the front!!! This helps so much!! God bless you!!
thanks for uploading this...i've been trying to make this w&t for my beret project. it all make sense now!!! :)
This is so helpful! Thank you!
oh my, this video and explanations are wonderful! Thank you!
At first, I thought this would be a waste of time due to the severe bluriness. But she actually pulled it off pretty good. The multi-color yarn helped I think. Other than saying knitwise and slipping purlwise, she helped me get the hang of it.
Very cool, and funny, too. Thank you, Cat!!
Luv ur videos they are clear cut easy to follow. Luv how u explain the technique with stories, very entertaining, fake blond😂. Keep the videos coming. xoxo.
Isabelle's a little confused...hahaha I love it. and very helpful too. keep up the good work.
thank you very much. I made one for my son. Love from Egypt

Great technique! Thanks.
I love that you named your stitches, haha. Thanks, this was very helpful!
Very nice, dear Cat!
loved your video thanks for teaching us.

great video and great help. ... thanks
I'm eager to try your method.
many thanks for that I think I know what to do now :)
I would love to get a copy of your book but it appears you can't get it in the uk, do you have any distributors over here?
Question: After my pattern says w&t, it goes directly to Row 2. My question is, after I turn, do the remaining stitches count as Row 2?
Hallo Cat, that sounds interesting. I have a question, which advantage has this method against w&t tip to tip on the knit side? Thank you so much.
I would like to know how to pick up a purl wrap in stocking stitch on a circular needle. I have tried several times and nothing works.....it still leaves a hole.
Cat I can not find a video anywhere for the purpose I am trying to do. I am trying to knit a hat in the round with some writing of a second color in the front of the hat so at the end of each round I have to do the wrap and turn or the picking up of the wraps.

my pattern is telling me to k to last 2 sts before the wrap and then wrap and turn?
On the first purl wrap, you put the yarn in back, slipped, then wrapped to the front. On the second one, you put the yarn in front, slipped & wrapped to the back. Does it matter?
Thanks for the explanation, I have been having trouble with my wraps looking bad. One question - why do you wrap the last (unwrapped) stitch on the row together with the last wrapped stitch, at the very end?
yes!! thank you!!!
Hi Cat, thanks for the great demo that has really helped.
Can I just ask ...
when you finish the wrapping do you unwrap all the Knit side 1st or do you do a row and unwrap a knit then go back over and do the same on the p side etc...?
cheers
Thank you!
finally i get it! Thank you!
Why are we eating up the last stich? Does anyone know? Is this a video that goes together with a pattern where this eating up is required?!
Some have asked for this video by Cat Bordhi to be redone as it has gotten blurred over the years. Ms. Bordhi passed away in September 2020.
looking, not counting? if only it were that easy...
Video is blurry.
i am wondering if you have an email address?
Unfortunately, the quality of the video is so poor, I can't see it but I am trying to do it by your word instructions. Please, redo this. You seem to be a great teacher.
I went to a different page and came back and all I heard was stuff about hair and operas. hah
Ok, first, when she says "knitwise" on the purl row, she made a mistake...it's a free video, and sometimes you get what you pay for ;-) She means purlwise, you slip knitwise on the knit rows, purlwise on the purl rows, to make the concealing part easier.

8:38 Lol... fake blond! Vicious! You have an active imagination.
Shame the video is poor quality. It was 2007 after all.
Again, Cat, please create a clearer video. The technique is so good, but I know that I get very distracted by squinting and trying to see what you are doing. I don't think I am alone here, and apparently you delete these kinds of comments eventually.
The filming of this is poor do you have a different one?
Video so is so blurry that I can't even really see what you are doing. Please remake video.
I like your videos but the quality of the video is so bad. Hope you get a chance to remake your videos as they would help so many.
Karma
WTF?
