When I knit and purl I notice that my stitches come out big. I do the knit stitches fine, but when it come to purling my purl stitches are loose..I want an even knit fabric What am I doing wrong? is there something i can do to fix the problem? Please help.me. Thank you.
idk if im stupid or what, but i feel like every time i go down, pull it towards me, off the needle, im literally doing nothing but undoing my cast on. i have no clue what is going on
Your videos are great thanks! How do you stop your row from twisting? Mine is an absolute mess :( after doing two rows some of the stitches are large holes and some look like massive knots but as far as i can tell ive done it exactly like you have. HELP?!
this is hard youre going to fast i cant see witch hole you put it through but thanks for nothing!!!!!!! i hate this your a bad expalenr its making me angry its meant to make you peace full your going to FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.. whenever I do the second stitch, it's too tight to pull away and off the needle. Where is the slower version, because I think I must have missed something, haha..
sorry it toook so long for me to get back to you. I hope you've watched some of my other videos and figured out to knit one row, purl one row for stockinette or knit every row for garter stitch.
I think I'm getting this, but when I try to pull the needle with the new stitch on it, my yarn becomes too tight. Am I doing something wrong or is that how it's supposed to feel? Thank you!
i judy i am new knitter and i trying so hard to learn but i am useing the neddles that are shiney and have a hard time with them when i start to make my first roll my needle slide off the cross of the needle i can not keep them togather any tips would be so greatfull thxz kimbettara
i don't see why ppl keep complaining that these are too fast... I think you repeat it often enough for it to be clear... but that's just me... I mean I get it.
thank you so much. I always feel bad when I get it;s too fast and I feel so good when I get that it's so good. glad it worked for you and hope you have fun knitting. please look for me on facebook too.
@knittingtipsbyjudy i cant understandf why people say you do it fast you do it lots of times and the can also pause the video if they think it is too fast i underrstand it and i think that you are not doing it fast you are doing it normal dont hear what people say
thank you for that. I appreciate what you say and get so frustrated when I get the negative remarks. I'm glad you get it. Please keep watching and look for me on facebook.
You rock! I have this knitting kit with a DVD, but could not figure out the last part to the stitch. After watching you do it, it clicked for me. Thanks for putting these videos up. I will be telling my friends about you. Thanks again.
I just started knitting like 3 days ago and I can cast on, however when it comes to the knitting part it always unravels when I take the second stich from the left needle off. What am I doing wrong?
hi judy! i like ur voice! but u are kinda fast. im now knitting a scarf for a man, but i donno how many stitches should i made on the cast on. i am using 4.5mm needles and my yarn is....like the one u using in ur video... can u tell me how many stitches i should have on the cast on? :)
if you're work is too tight that means you are pulling the yarn too tight. just relax and it will go smoothly. keep practicing. look for me on facebook.
@yelnatsss1 One way to help is to cast on with a size or 2 larger needles than you will be using for your project, then knit the rest of the item with the smaller size needle.
Myself and my 8 year old sat down this eve and both watched and picked p straight away with your cast off and then this one the knit stich.She is gone to bed so happy now she can knit and I plan on getting better and possibly knitting my baby girl due in october a nice blanket.
thanks for the nice note you sent. It means a lot to me to hear success stories like yours and your 8 year old. hope you'll continue to watch and learn and enjoy knitting as much as I do. look for me on facebook too.
i cast on 10 stitches.....when i go to start my first row, i end up with 11 stitches and the last stitch is always very loose............also after i cast on and start my first row, i end up with a long piece of yarn in between the needles and it gets longer and longer as i'm working on my first row???
you need to keep trying. do it over and over till you get it right. watch and do just what I do and eventually it'll become easy. don't get discouraged.
Hi Judy! Thank you for your uploads! I'm really trying hard to learn how to knit. I do have a question though. When I finished the knit stitch and have done all the stitches then what? I'm not sure how to continue on from there. Is there a video for this? Right now I'm just hoping to make a simple scarf. Can you or any one more experienced than me help?
yes, go to my channel and watch all the videos in order from the beginning ones. How to Purl, How to Bind Off, etc.
Or, you can order my DVD's from my web-site. Vol. 1 is the basics, Vol 2 is more advanced. You can watch them over and over at your own pace. go to my web-site and click the VIDEO button for more info.
Well I can follow until the push it down thing...then I have no idea what you're doing. XD I keep triny but...no sucess...whatsoever. I just mess it up and have to cast on all over again.. well, At least I'm an expert at that now. XD
please keep trying. watch my video and do what I do. you can also purchase my dvd with the first steps of knitting. you can stop and pause, etc. if you're interested fo to my web-site for details.
I just wanted to tell you that thanks to you.. I am finally knitting!! ...{clap-clap}
I've always wanted to learn, since I was a little girl.. but didn't have anyone to teach me.. but after typing in a few words, you popped up, with step by step instructions,, even for someone that is very slow to catch on.. like me! LOL
You have choices. Watch my videos on Stockinette Stitch and Garter Stitch for some. There are many different sititches. Have fun with knitting. Keep watching and look for me on facebook too.
@knittingtipsbyjudy thankyou =) found them not long later... finally 1/4 way through my scarf, although something went wrong at one point and I lost 2 stitches without noticing... oh well, beginners cant always be perfect ^^
oh, so glad you're knitting. make sure those lost stitches aren't lurking about somewhere. you probably knitted 2 together though. keep knitting and thanks for letting me know.
I'm a 41 year old male trying to learn knitting hoping it will help with my depression, my stitches are looking a little sloppy but I guess that is a tension problem and will change over time.
How great that you've taken up knitting. With time and practice everything will fall into place. I find knitting to be very relaxing so I hope it will be for you too. Please keep watching and learning.....and having fun with it. Look for me on facebook too.
sounds like you have to practice your knitting. Watch my video again and do it just as I do it. Go slow. You're obviously doing something wrong. Please keep at it.
@crazyoagirl - yes, that's exactly what happened to me. I also noticed that whenever I did the final one, it seemed to go wrong so when I was doing the 2nd row, there was a bit wide bit at the top. Even when I do 5 stiches I end up with about 10. Not quite got the knack yet.
I'm so glad you started knitting again. How lucky for your little sister that you are knitting a doll's scarf for her. Please keep watching and please keep knitting.
I started knitting a few weeks ago. As I was watching videos I realized it's normal to hold the yarn in the right hand; I developed the habit of holding it in my left. I checked, and I'm doing the stitches correctly with no extra wraps or twists.. just holding it weird compared to everyone else. Is this something I should start working on changing? I am very fluid at knitting and purling with the yarn held this way(finished my first hat tonight!) but will it have negative consequences later?
Everyone has their own way and whatever works for you is good. Nothing negative. Just keep doing what you're doing and have fun knitting. Thanks for writing. Please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.
Thanks so much! Your videos are by far the best on the internet! I just had on question, though. I can do the casting on part just fine, but every time I try to switch which needle the yarn is on,(the knit stitch) I mess up and when the yarn ends up on the left side, it always ends up messed up and the stitches dont look very good. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much! Sierra
Oh my goodness. It sounds a mess. I hope you will watch my videos How to do the Knit Stitch and How to do the Purl Stitch. Do what I do and you'll be fine. Keep at it. Practice makes perfect!
I watched you purl stitch video after doing something where I used this stitch. however. the purl stitch seems to look the same as my knit stitch. I must have done something wrong. Could you link me an example of what the 2 will look like once about 5 rows are knitted or more. Just so i can determine if my stitches are coming out correctly.
the yarn between the needles always seems to get bigger and bigger as i progress through my stitches. By the time i get to the last stitch, I have all this left over yarn. How do I fix this?
I think I'm getting the hang of this after watching your videos. Great videos. Do you have a video on changing yarn? Because I have two things of yarn that I want to make a striped scarf with. Is it just me practicing or does it get easier to do the knit stitch as you make more row?
it gets easier and easier, the more you knit. I do have a video on Adding color that should help you. Please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.
I am a 19 year old who wanted to learn how to knit, but none of the books I tried or youtube videos could explain it clearly. Within ten minutes of watching your videos, I understood it perfectly. Thank you so much!
At the :30 mark where you say "Push it down," I can't figure out what you're pushing it down through. It looks like a loop, but where did it come from? I've been trying to learn to do a knit stitch for two days now, and keep failing miserably. If only I could figure out how you got that loop that you push through in the video, maybe I could finally succeed. I've replayed this video over and over for almost two hours. I must be crazy.
@pokerjackal1 - I have exactly the same problem, been trying to learn for 2 days and I have tried to pause it but I can't see where she is putting it the needle down too. I think I'd like to see it close up, and perhaps from a different angle. I am getting a bit annoyed that I can't seem to 'see it' unlike others. I don't know anyone who knits and so I have to keep trying. It looks easy when you get thehang of it tho.
Hi, can you please tell me what is the difference between "knit stitch" and "purl stitch?" Are they just different styles of stitches? And do you have any youtube videos that teach how to finished at the end? Thank you so much!!!!
the knit stitch and the purl stitch are different. watch my video on how to Purl and you'll see. When you ask how to end do you mean how to bind off? I have videos on that too. please keep watching, there's lots to learn. look for me on facebook too.
It doesn't matter how many stitches you start with. I assume this is just for practice.
If you're following a pattern you need to start with as many as the pattern calls for. Keep knitting, keep watching my videos, and look for me on facebook too.
i love this direction! it has been 3 years since my last scarf....i bought some gorgeous cashmere red yard to knit my husband a christmas scarf...i am sooo excited. thank you (: (: you made it real easy to get back into this...and it is like meditation. oh...is 43 enough for casting on making a scarf?
I'm so glad you started knitting again and what could be better than a hand knit red cashmere scarf! Please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.
i love this direction! it has been 3 years since my last scarf....i bought some gorgeous cashmere red yard to knit my husband a christmas scarf...i am sooo excited. thank you (: (: you made it real easy to get back into this...and it is like meditation.
I need serious help!!! I started out with thirty stitches and I did a couple of rows and I continued to have thirty stitches and then, out of no where, I counted again, and I had 32 stitches. I figured it was no big deal, until two rows later, I had 35 stitches, do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Can you tell me how to fix this?
you probably put the yarn around the needle to make an extra stitch so take it out and go back to where you had the right amount of stitches. go slow to make sure you don;t make the same mistake again. are you doing garter or stockinette stitch? don't worry, practice makes perfect!
I've wanted to learn how to knit for so long, and you've made it a cinch! Thanks! I'm just practicing at the moment, not really making anything. But my main goal is to make knitted/crocheted stuffed animals. You wouldn't happen to have any crochet videos would you? :)
I don't crochet, only knit. I suggest you start by making a scarf. That's good practice. Then watch my other videos on increasing and decreasing, which you will need to know when you make animals. Have fun knitting.
I've tried over and over to do what you're doing but it falls apart after I take the right needle off the ledt needle. So I have my cast on which is 81 sts. I then go to knit the stich like you're doing. I put my right needle in the loop, stick the needle behind the left, place the yarn exactly like you are doing, and push the right needle down. Then it just doesn't work out from there. I must be doing something wrong. Can you help?
try looking at the photos on my web-site and try going slow. sounds like you're doing it right so keep trying. once you get it it will be easy for you.
hi judy i really love your videos but i need to know how to add a new ball of yarn when your skein is over i was tying knts but now they are coming out =( i find no good videos out there
I have got to be the biggest idiot on earth. I keep watching videos of how to do this shit over and over but when they're like "Ta da, new knot!" I'm like... uh... nothing changed. Wtf.
My oh my, I have been trying to learn to knit for so long! I got books, watched dozens of videos, but I still could not wrap my head around it, until finally I found your videos. I have to thank you for taking the time to really show how to do the stitches slowly and giving great instruction! :)
Perfect! Thank you. I learned the casting on and knit stitch years ago (more than 15 probably!) but I never could figure out where to go from there... Looking forward to your purl stitch vid!
finally!!!! harhar!! one question i have one pair of needles i found lying about and was like hey this could be fun... they're width 5 (?) do i need a thick wool coase mine seems to be going to tight for me to carry on or do i just need to practice?? also after knit stiching the whole row... how do i do more lol :D
if the stitches are too tight use a thinner yarn. When you finish the row turn the work around and knit another row. Or Purl. Have you watched my video on How to do the Purl Stitch? Please keep watching and keep knitting.
Could you please do a slower version of this. I still don't seem to be able to get it. Cast on slow version was AMAZING, I've finally be able to do that just need a little more help on this one and the pearl one. :)
ugh i need you to go a little slower!! please!!!

how did that happen?

sounds like you have to practice your knitting. Watch my video again and do it just as I do it. Go slow. You're obviously doing something wrong. Please keep at it.
knittingtipsbyjudy 11 months ago
@crazyoagirl - yes, that's exactly what happened to me. I also noticed that whenever I did the final one, it seemed to go wrong so when I was doing the 2nd row, there was a bit wide bit at the top. Even when I do 5 stiches I end up with about 10. Not quite got the knack yet.

I started knitting a few weeks ago. As I was watching videos I realized it's normal to hold the yarn in the right hand; I developed the habit of holding it in my left. I checked, and I'm doing the stitches correctly with no extra wraps or twists.. just holding it weird compared to everyone else. Is this something I should start working on changing? I am very fluid at knitting and purling with the yarn held this way(finished my first hat tonight!) but will it have negative consequences later?

Thanks so much! Your videos are by far the best on the internet! I just had on question, though. I can do the casting on part just fine, but every time I try to switch which needle the yarn is on,(the knit stitch) I mess up and when the yarn ends up on the left side, it always ends up messed up and the stitches dont look very good. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much! Sierra

knittingtipsbyjudy 1 year ago
I watched you purl stitch video after doing something where I used this stitch. however. the purl stitch seems to look the same as my knit stitch. I must have done something wrong. Could you link me an example of what the 2 will look like once about 5 rows are knitted or more. Just so i can determine if my stitches are coming out correctly.
MidoriGal17 1 year ago

the knit side is flat, the purl side is bumpy. Watch my video on Stockinette Stitch. That shows both sides.

the yarn between the needles always seems to get bigger and bigger as i progress through my stitches. By the time i get to the last stitch, I have all this left over yarn. How do I fix this?
obson90 1 year ago
I think I'm getting the hang of this after watching your videos. Great videos. Do you have a video on changing yarn? Because I have two things of yarn that I want to make a striped scarf with. Is it just me practicing or does it get easier to do the knit stitch as you make more row?

At the :30 mark where you say "Push it down," I can't figure out what you're pushing it down through. It looks like a loop, but where did it come from? I've been trying to learn to do a knit stitch for two days now, and keep failing miserably. If only I could figure out how you got that loop that you push through in the video, maybe I could finally succeed. I've replayed this video over and over for almost two hours. I must be crazy.

@pokerjackal1 - I have exactly the same problem, been trying to learn for 2 days and I have tried to pause it but I can't see where she is putting it the needle down too. I think I'd like to see it close up, and perhaps from a different angle. I am getting a bit annoyed that I can't seem to 'see it' unlike others. I don't know anyone who knits and so I have to keep trying. It looks easy when you get thehang of it tho.

It doesn't matter how many stitches you start with. I assume this is just for practice.
If you're following a pattern you need to start with as many as the pattern calls for. Keep knitting, keep watching my videos, and look for me on facebook too.

I need serious help!!! I started out with thirty stitches and I did a couple of rows and I continued to have thirty stitches and then, out of no where, I counted again, and I had 32 stitches. I figured it was no big deal, until two rows later, I had 35 stitches, do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Can you tell me how to fix this?
tiahnapan 1 year ago
@tiahnapan
you probably put the yarn around the needle to make an extra stitch so take it out and go back to where you had the right amount of stitches. go slow to make sure you don;t make the same mistake again. are you doing garter or stockinette stitch? don't worry, practice makes perfect!
knittingtipsbyjudy 1 year ago
I've wanted to learn how to knit for so long, and you've made it a cinch! Thanks! I'm just practicing at the moment, not really making anything. But my main goal is to make knitted/crocheted stuffed animals. You wouldn't happen to have any crochet videos would you? :)
pusiwillow 1 year ago
@pusiwillow
I don't crochet, only knit. I suggest you start by making a scarf. That's good practice. Then watch my other videos on increasing and decreasing, which you will need to know when you make animals. Have fun knitting.
knittingtipsbyjudy 1 year ago
I've tried over and over to do what you're doing but it falls apart after I take the right needle off the ledt needle. So I have my cast on which is 81 sts. I then go to knit the stich like you're doing. I put my right needle in the loop, stick the needle behind the left, place the yarn exactly like you are doing, and push the right needle down. Then it just doesn't work out from there. I must be doing something wrong. Can you help?

if the stitches are too tight use a thinner yarn. When you finish the row turn the work around and knit another row. Or Purl. Have you watched my video on How to do the Purl Stitch? Please keep watching and keep knitting.
