[iLoveTheFurry]

Hi, great video! :) Sometimes, like when I create stuffed cubes or something, I use a different method to start because it gives me loops to stitch the corners. You use one needle and begin with a slip stitch. Then, you take the working yarn, make a loop, flip it, and slide it onto the needle, continuing until you have enough.

[mrsjamesfrnco]

cant u also just to stiches with one needle?

[mikeyssmail]

@mrsjamesfrnco knitting is usually done with tow needles or a loom......when crocheting you use one hook.....does that help??

Thank you! I looked through a book and other videos but i kept getting confused. Your video made so much more sense.

[Smetlana]

Hey, I tried to start knitting with a book guide, but it was totally confusing but then I watched your video and learnt how to start it in 2 minutes! You made me have a new record, this was my very first time! Keep going on, dude! And thank you, by the way ;)

[vdizzle18]

THANK YOU!!! I tried a couple of times with other videos but I kept messing it up. After watching your video i saw accomplisment. lol Keep doing what you do.

I only got the starting part, I'm left handed, so I get confused I guess XD

[HOCWarrior]

[thedan1000]

your a fukn pussy

[thegreatCOOPS]

i learned to knit in 4th grade... i always forget how to start up (haven't done it in years), but it wasn't this way...

i only know how to knit scarves though (and i guess maybe blankets, never tried it)...

[philosgal]

thanks a lot for doing this mikey.

I learned to knit using the throwing method (English) but later taught myself the continental method and oh my gosh, it's so much faster. However, I don't care about speed, I knit because I find it therapeutic, not just to get a finished object. I also wanted to learn another method of knitting. It's good to have another way to knit. I know once I was in a rush to finish a blanket and my hand got very sore. That is when it paid off to have two ways to knit.

Nice video. :)

[CURIOUSSERA]

I didn't learn that way. Could not knit like that. I put my yarn around my neck and then left finger...adjusts tension better 4 me :)

[Bethintx1]

Ahh! the cable cast-on. Did you know that if you slide this off your needle, it will appear as a crochet chain! I was knitting for three years before someone showed me how to do this cast-on. It's so much easier than the other methods!

I also see that you "throw" your yarn too. This is known as the continental method. The English method is harder for me.

[SueVlogs]

Continental knitting is when you hold the working yarn in your left hand. If you hold the working yarn in your right hand that is commonly called the English method also known as throwing. :)

[Bethintx1]

I always get them mixed up! So I do the English method, not the Continental... Oh well! LOL!

[SueVlogs]

I hear ya, I always got them mixed up too! hehe
