I started crocheting and knitting in memory of my great grandmother who past away in last December. She only taught me how to crochet, but never to knit. This weekend, I got all her knitting needles and hooks. I looked at other videos online and yours is so crystal clear. Thank you so much for the video!
you saved my life! I doing a play called ‘ The Diary of Anne Frank’ and I’m Mrs. Frank, my director told me to learn how to knit but unfortunately I don’t have a clue who to ask. So once again thank you for helping me learn how to knit!
best video i’ve seen on the subject.
Wow. I’ve never knit in my life. I’ve admired it from afar. This is very helpful, even the background music helps me focus on the visual! It all makes me marvel at the creativity and intelligence of the humans who figured out how to use 2 sticks and some strung-out lamb’s wool to create clothing! People are amazing. Anyone know anything about the early history of knitting? How’d it start?
This is insanely helpful. Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to use the book Stitch ‘n Bitch, which is actually much better then any other book I’ve found, but I need to see what’s going on in real time. Thanks again!
I didnt have any knitting needles around, so i used juice box straws XD
Perfect! Thanks so much for this very easy to follow video
I am trying to knit a sweater and i have a question in the pattern it states:
cast off 4(4-6,-69,8-9,11-12) it is for shaping a armhole can you help me thanks
Thanks a bunch cyberseams!! I Can Knit Now.
You made it easy
Thank you!
I think knitting would be a very meditative activit and i would love to make gifts for all my friends and their babies! I have to learn from someone my gramma wont teach me.
lols i like how the music keep things exciting :p
@jojopng1 Because this isn’t an actual pattern, there’s no defined length to begin with. In the video the yarn end was about 15 inches (38 cm) – always better to have a little extra than not enough.
@Gyarren I find the wooden and bamboo needles slide around a lot less than metal ones. I think they are better for beginners for this reason, but they do tend to cost a little more.
@toccatacat yes, the needle size will affect the stitch size, which will affect the size of the project.
How long must the yarn end string be? Please help me! ):
I don’t know what to do! I think I’m doing my stiches too tightly, but when I try to do them loose they look sloppy! Help!
Wow! Thanks so much. This video taught me how to knit.
