    Thanks a million Roxanne. I have been forced to help my wife with her knitting for the past year. She has dementia and has really been loosing her skills that she has had down pat for many years. You know how very important it is for people to keep their hobby alive, even though they are having a difficult time of it.

      I'm so happy to hear that my video was helpful to you. My mother has dementia, so I do know. Good luck to you and your wife in your (now joint) knitting efforts. :-)

  • @danl1451
    @danl1451 2 года назад

    I really like your technical explanations. I tried knitting recently but a bunch of stitches fell off at once and I couldn't get them all back on evenly so I gave up and went back to crochet. Recovering from a mistake in crochet is 100000 easier than knitting, especially since knitting mistakes don't seem obvious to me until a couple of rows down.

    • @RoxanneRichardson
      @RoxanneRichardson  2 года назад

      There's a great trick for correcting knitting mistakes from previous rows: you can ladder down a span of sts, so that you don't have to rip back any of the sts that were knit correctly, only the ones that were a mistake. ruclips.net/video/-RmexrJRIDo/видео.html

    AMAZING! Thank you so much! This is so clear and very useful and deals with different types of hole. I never realised how knitting can be stressful and sweat-inducing in our attempts to get things right so that the finished product looks really good and professional. I no longer fear making a hole as much as I used to, even though it still needs attention, practice and calm when fixing problems..

    Hi Roxanne, this is a great video because I struggle with holes in my socks when I turn the heel, and then have to pick up the stitches from the front needle. It makes a hole at the top of the join, where I start decreasing the join. So frustrating! Now I know how to fix it. I wish I understood knitting enough to avoid the holes. Thank you for teaching this! Cynthia
