PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... i need to know what lighting you used for your video. I am filming my videos in daylight, indoor light and an expensive DSLR camera... and the video is sooooo dark...WHAT am I doing wrong?
@Rozikess This video is part a larger mitten tutorial. If you go to the Knit Picks channel, you can select the playlist at the top where you will find Kelley's Mitten Class. Click on that to see all of the videos contained within this tutorial set. Kelley goes over a few different thumb options so it might be best to watch all of the sections of the thumb to decide what direction you want to go in.
@mccartancaitlin Kelley mentions that she will be using a worsted weight yarn. Using a worsted weight yarn and depending on your gauge, you will want to use a US 7 or US 8 needle size.
@chibimisumi yes, if you do not want to do magic loop, you can always use regular double pointed needles to make mittens. I would suggest following how Kelley splits up her stitches into two section, and then use 2 double pointed needles for each half. Then, as you follow along you simply must knit across two of your double pointed needles for every half of Kelley's magic loop.
I love those needles! Dont have them yet but they are so on my wish list :P Thanks for the tutorial :) I have seven children and cant wait to get started!
Kelley I love your tutorials! I am a new knitter inspired by your sock class and now I want to try those entrelac mittens (is that what they are?). Thanks!
I think that Mittens are "easier" than socks because there's no heel flap and such like with socks, which of course is easy, but is reletively harder than making a mitten.

@bozomahoney In additional to lots of natural light, we also use a basic photo studio kit for additional lighting.

You mention a 32" cable, but what size needle are you using?
