  • Beginner Knitting with Marly Bird and Marly's Mom Lesson 3 Changing Colors! Time for your online knitting lesson ;-)
    Add some excitement to your knitting by changing colors. Marly shows you (and her mom) how to do basic stripes and how to float the color up from row to row. She doesn't get SUPER in depth with intarsia or fair isle or anything like that, in time sje will get to those things. For now, you and Marly's mom just need to know the basics of color changes.
    Plus, there is the added bonus that having stripes in your knitting will help when Marly teaches how to fix common mistakes in Lesson 4!
    Marly and Marly's Mom start the video discussing the experiences, challenges and funny moments Marly's mom has had since the last video. Then they get to the knitty gritty (no pun intended) around 5 min.
    Homework:
    Use the long tail cast on and cast on 12 stitches.
    Knit 1 row,
    Purl 1 row,
    *change colors
    Knit 1 row
    Purl 1 row
    Repeat from * for at least 5 in [13 cm]

    Your mom is so cute. I wish I had you close by when I was learning to knit. I know exactly how she feels.. I'm in your BiCrafty Bootcamp and learning to read your stitches and learning to fix mistakes has helped me tremendously. Thank you so very much. Blessings. Stay safe and well.

    Mom hang in there . I have learned so much over the last two years on a lot with knitting. I think I’m pretty good when you can watch a Russian knit and speak Russian and you do what they did . I only speak English,also I did a dishcloth in Spanish . I’m slow at knitting that’s one thing I just can’t get fast like I see so many doing . But the finished product to me is what counts . And mom when you learn all this then go to socks . Ole my if I didn’t have a time with that little tiny needles and yarn . So how I got it was I love this cotton from hobby lobby . Yes they say don’t use 100% cotton for socks but guess what they worked . And they wear good . Then I moved down to sock yarn . And I made a infant pair . That was fun . My next challenge will me a sweater, yarn is in the mail .yea

    These videos are the best! I am an experienced crocheted but have knitting in about 45 years. These videos have been so very helpful,especially the o se about dropped stitches. Your mom is a %great example so I can learn from her.

    I learned to crochet first when I was a teenager. Just started to try to learn to knit a few years ago and it is a real "challenge" to me. These videos are a lifesaver to me. Sometimes I forget how to do something and I can review it with you. Love the way you and your Mom are doing it all from scratch. I can really identify with your mother and learning something new.

Been crocheting for a few years and have tried learning to knit a few times and just placed it back down....until I discovered your fabulous videos. Thank you...for this journey in knitting to go with crochet.... so excited to start and actually complete my first knit item. Loved your videos. You and your mom 🥰😂😊🥰

    I have recently started my own custom crochet business, only to find my possibilities are endless if I learn to knit as well. I learned to crochet when I was young, but being left handed made it difficult for my right handed mom and aunt to teach me when I was young. I got tired of seeing all their beautiful completed gifts, and decided to surprise them last Christmas with my own crochet projects. Needless to say, I loved it so much, I turned my living room into a production area haha! Thanks to your videos, I mastered crochet! Naturally, now that I'm ready to learn to knit to expand my little business, I came right to your channel for the "how-to's" - I am so thrilled to see you teaching your mom! I've learned so much from these videos, I made a purple and white striped ribbed scarf for my niece. My mom was so impressed, she asked me to teach her how to knit! So I get to sit with my mama and teach her too! Thank you, and your mom, for opening up this awesome world to me! My 12 year old son is showing interest in crochet and knitting, and I'm looking forward to teaching him, and my daughters as well! Aside from all that, I have a couple questions:
    For knitting a light weight, soft sweater, in stockinette, something very A-line and simple in shape, yet not heavy, and very soft, (we live in florida so heavy sweaters aren't necessary) what yarn would you recommend, and what size needles? I don't want very open stitches, but I do want light and soft. My niece has asked me to make her this, and im having trouble picking a yarn and needle size.
    2. can you please post a finished project from your mom? or share a link to one? My mom and I are cheering her on together and so excited to see her progress!

    I have watched like 16 videos trying to learn to knit. I have crocheted for years. I taught my own mom to crochet, but I couldn't figure out knitting for the life if me. I would became the hulk lolbut I found this video series [just finished ten rows of knit, going to watch the next video now, but was letting these run in the background] I am so excited because for the first time I have a search of something that looks pretty. I need to buy bigger needles though, my only ones are 3.5 and its hard to tell which side is what at the moment lol. I love watchibg you and your mom together. Thabk you for this series

I'm only a few rows away from giving that a go, but thanks in advance for this video. Regards and thanks to your mom, too. :-) (And yes, I have 'smashed' that Like button.)

    Hi Marly & Mom ! i live down under in a very small town town called RAGLAN on the West Coast of NEW ZEALAND! I have been knitting about a week, & like your MOM there is a lot of Ripping Out involved. Hahahaha. Summer here is fantastic but winters I need an activity to stop me smoking. So , this is it. I have been doing Ok trying my hand at Ballerina Bloom (so cute) legwarmers. I am up to the 2nd M1l & my yarn seems twisted. I need to learn how to reverse knit Mack 6-10 stitches to fix it. I think I accidentally split the yarn & it has gotten a bit caught up.. Can you help? PS: AB FAB TUTORIALS.... i can watch while knitting. Thanks for all your hard work & welcome to LIL OL NZ!

    Question ~ would you cut or carry when doing socks on dpns? (yes, I'm doing the KAL ;) ) On my next pair I'd like to make it similar to your linen and suede stripe ones. #MarlyBird I've never knit in the round before the knit along and I haven't changed colors on my first pair.

    Where is the video made with your mom in which you were using circular needles and huge yarn to make a blanket throw. I'm returning to my knitting bag after probably a year (consumed with my husband's medical needs) BUT I can't figure out where I am or what stitch to start with. Need the original basic instructions to retrace what I learned to lead me to just where I left off. Can you help me find that video?

    Hi, ladies! Knitting is good for a person's health. I had taken my knitting with me when I went with my husband for his appointment. She asked what I was knitting. I told her that I was knitting an enterlac scarf. She said knitting is good for the mind.

    In the changing colors you had your mom the the new color on the existing color....but you never showed how to remove the knot nor did you show how to weave in the ends....Are you going to do a video showing how that is accomplished or does one already exist.??

    • @MarlyBird
      @MarlyBird  6 лет назад

      Removing a knot is the same concept, you would remove the knot, and make sure you’re at the end of a row and rejoin the yarn.
      As for weaving in ends, there is a video I did with Anne Berk showing how to do that that you can watch if you’re interested.
