Knitting 101

[emmers1965]

I wish I had learned your way first. It's so much faster!!

[Stormtress]

You are too cute, thank you for the laughter! 

[shuvva]

Oh boy... I was impressed that a man made a knitting tutorial. But I knew there was going to be trouble when I noticed he didn't have ANY decorative items even for a man, no pictures, vases, no sheets. Not even the cheesy Scarface poster or any sports paraphernalia.

[maggwhlz]

Omg I laughed myself into an asthma attack and I'm pretty sure I pissed myself!!

[punkonthis]

I am still trying to learn to crochet and I just catch on. I feel stupid. This video made me feel that I wasn't along. I haven't even begun to attempt knitting.

[maxximmc]

Yarn can't feel pain.

[Kanjiis4u]

I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts and my eyes water... Yes! You cinched it! All that goes through every knitters mind for every project- even after knitting for 50 years. This is my new all time Favorite YouTube Video!...I am just that grateful. %)

[TomasinaCatanari]

This deserves to go viral! What a HOOT!!



[RadiantTimes]

Best quote! "We're not making mistakes. We're making experiences" Hahahahahaha!

[bessieclements74]

and I say..shut up! LOL!!!



[stephiecs0]

Yep, I'm from Ravelry too. This is the best knitting tutorial EVER.

[JACQSIErae]

Will u please knit me a blanket. I really want 1 that's red and yellow!

[LiveLife2theeFullest]

The yarn may not feel pain but ouch. Great video, loled all the way.

[sissyknitting]

this is just really sad. there is a book that helps but sadly i need a video to teach me how to knit on youtube. but your video lost me in the beginning. lol

[andybiersackslover12]

dude that is really funny hahaha lmfao

[StickyKnits]

Really come to Ravelry.com, all of us knitter's would help you!

[Kabeth12]

holy crap, I love this so much

[herie7]

Too funny - only I guy would use tape and a stapler!!

[LadyDCrochet]

LOL too funny! love the glue part :)

[mikeandersonwa]

we're not making mistakes, we're making experiences... best line ever.

[coolsteven2]

Ravelry brought me here. Haha. This is funny. My first project was NOT like this haha

[beeutifulfreek]

This looks like my first knitting project....love the video!! Your inspiring!!

[sister1976]

We're not making mistakes, we're making experiences" :-D

[SexyNinjaMonkey]

F*cking brilliant

[ayanared]

I love this! You are so hilarious!!!!

[McNerdius]

Like they said... Can you teach me how to crochet ? I never quite got the hang of it... Help a fella out ?  :)

[mysterjaythang]

You should try your hand at crocheting,

[lilypad4140]

You are not the smartest knitter Dan!!!!!

[susanhamson]

Staples!!! BWAH!!!

[MonsterKnits]

Oh my, LOVE the staples!!

[feltingme]

Ha ha ha. That is funny. But seriously, Dan, maybe you should watch us knit in the coffee houses more intently, then your scarf would be more functional.

[shannonarmstrong3]

oh my goodness i almost just peed myself!

[themightytrickster]

I TRUSTED YOU!!!!

[articsocean]

Do you think chopsticks would be an acceptable substitute for those fancy knitting needles? 

[thecurbsidestomp]

I love you, Dan.

[StephPlusJimmy]

I don't knit in public to show off, I knit in public because it's really time-consuming and needs to get done :(

(also, what else am I gonna do with my time just sitting on public transportation or waiting for my caffienated beverage?)

[JamGraDub]

I knit all the time now but when I was little this was exactly how I thought knitting worked. I remember taking two pencils and randomly jabbing them into a wad of yarn, trying to make a scarf!

[candiceeric]

From one knitter to another, Good Job!

[knitoriousmrsb]

yarn, I feel your pain!

[aleiakay]

LOL this is too funny :)

[crandall522]

I loved the stapler and glue.

[acceber98]

Wow, your wrists are unusually tiny...

[secgem]

dweeb!

[MyOddMusings42]

"Because tape is like knitting for everyone."

"there's a lot of scarf in this area, this area, not so much."

the stapler,

"we're not making mistakes, we're making expiriences"

"i think wands sound like guns."

Dan, you rock my socks. XD

[speckledhound]

"I think wands sound like guns." LMAO

[yoitsrissabel]

Lol at the douchebags who think this is real...

[leslieditt]

I teach knitting and have included several YouTube videos for my student handouts. Yours has just been added. In fact, I decided I need to bring a laptop to class and show this at the beginnning.

[nbienville]

Staples...hahahah!

[plawry5271]

If you say, "Dan, that doesn't look like a scarf, I'd say that's rude. I don't come to your house and say your shoes aren't your shoes or your sister isn't your sister. I expect an apology". LOVE IT.

[anunmaker]

Tape, glue and staples, who knew!

[stashymama]

funny(1) Masterfully done! LOVE THIS!!! Thanks for the fantastic laugh <3

[dreadpiratekel]

As a knitting teacher, I approve this video. And tape. And snake blankets.

[tangled0in0yarn]

lol a blanket for snakes... peed a little ;)

[lizabeth83]

Oh Jebus Christ this is so painful and yet hilarious.

[xmasberry]

Awesome. I am going to try your method the next time i knit. It is definitely superior to other techniques.

[ReverendDi]

"Yarn can't feel pain." *snort*

[8Martib]

Dude - you give knitting teachers a bad name. I can teach even you how to knit for real....... just sayin'!

[rubberkeyhole]

I want you to know, that when people suggest I should learn how to knit, this is EXACTLY what it would be like, and how it is in my mind.

[KaySkywalker]

Too funny. Come to Raverly.com. we'll teach you how it's done :)

Stcks and tape lol

[DrFrige]

You sir are a RIOT!!! I am ROLLING!! THANK YOU!!!! SUBSCRIBED!!!

[reakin20]

lol....you are my favorite.

[mikeandersonwa]

If you don't want to make a scarf, well you can make a snake blanket... so brilliant! I love this...

[taurigal]

Very, very funny! I enjoyed watching this, and may have even learned a thing or two. Never thought of employing the stapler like that - would have made some projects much easier! I draw the line at glue, though. I almost wept for the poor yarn. Hope it dried clear. LOL

[Mackena67]

You cracked me up!! Brilliant!!

[Zalamita]

Can someone please give this man lessons? :D

[cylverdust]

seriously funny!!

[thechosenone941]

I don't even care anymore

[lsealey20]

Oh my. I am still laughing. Hilarious.

[crochetnknit2]

Am going to be teaching some ladies how to knit starting this week. When they get frustratrated with their attempts will show them this video. It is sure to releave their tension by the time we all stop laughing and we will continue with our lesson. You have made my day!

[NewKidontheBlogg]

Too funny. Actually there is help on youtube, but this will calm the nerves for beginners!

[kainimura]

Oh you poor thing. come on to Ravelry.com we'll help you.

[SusanShriverHowell]

amen!

[Jamison2015]

I love this. Sooooo much.

[sannakji]

I'd like to see brain surgery 101

[MonkeeGroupies]

Hey Dan, how about Crochet 101? ;)

[aemdm1]

saw this on Ravelry.... we're peeing ourselves laughing over there.

[rc61174]

LOVE THIS! The people on Ravelry are LOVING this! Thanks for the laugh... oh, and if you really want to learn - head over to Ravelry - we'll teach you! (you know, for real...)

[invisiblemusic]

SNAKE BLANKET

[APippinger]

Someone posted your vid on Ravelry, a knit/crochet social network. LOL we are enjoying your video tremendously! There are a lot of guys who knit so if you ever really wanna learn, head over there and we can help :)

[hashbrown7782]

And with this video, I will finally convince my mom to knit everything for me.

[insertnamehere84]

*starts stapling scarf* i don't even care anymore!

[neko3usagi]

I've been a knitter for ten years, and I think that I need to switch to this method because it is obviously more productive! :D

[zaboomafooba]

I think that's the best knitting that I've ever seen, Dan.

You are a brilliant teacher.

[consopo10]

But... my sister isn't my sister.

[DutchRoom]

'you dont have to use yellow and red.. but i would..' CUZ IMMA GRYFFINDOR!

[RoarNox]

so im silently cringing because i knit, but also laughing hysterically because sometimes i've felt the urge to staple & glue my stuff together because yeah. because sometimes a pattern sucks. yeah.

[Karen1andKaren2]

thumbs up if you found this on sparklife

[OnlyTeish]

Can I use Green and silver instead?

[starshine8139]

It's ok to pull real hard, since yarn can't feel pain. ( 2:00)

At this point, I lost control and started LOLing out of control, much to the odd looks of my mother

[sydneynotaustralia]

i was kind of hoping dan would actually manage to make a scarf by the end.

[creepyflyer666]

That scarf is so cool. I wish I could buy it.

[bessiebyrum]

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. I do think you should be forced to wear that in public though. :o)

[sweeneybird]

oh sweetie, I want to marry you. or dope slap you. 

[faeriebell]

Really I think I love you.

[everybodywants2love]

Like a Gryffindor scarf????

[IloveCopicmarkers]

What happens if I can't get my snake blanket off my snake after drizzling glue on it?

[soccerchick980]

So. many. hilarious. quotes. I'm not even going to bother typing them out.

[ninadotdotdot]

I wish I had your knitting skills...

[fairycakes566]

Knitting is the new winning.

[townsofpaper]

looks like spaghetti

[WittTiger09]

Yarn can't feel pain. I'm pretty sure this video and Dan's knitting demonstration proves this statement wrong....

[askFred]

As an experienced knitter (who works in a yarn store) and who was knitting argyle knee-high socks while watching this video, I'm not sure if I want to die of laughter or cry for the yarn and knitting needles (which bamboo ones do make excellent wands).

[runwaybaby59]

your glorious facial stubble is gone!!! but you're awesome, so it's okay :)

[newyorksmabbie]

A for effort?

[ArikaPF1]

LOL. Use tape XDD

[LikeSoTotallyRandom]

ROFL Dan you are the greatest. I'd go with Black and Yellow yarn though

[inthemoment875]

@LikeSoTotallyRandom Hufflepuff pride! :D

[loveisxjo]

:) this was so much fun to watch! I'll get my knitting needles out right now!

[SkySayzRawr]

How are you so brilliantly funny all the time? Wait, wait. I'm sensing that the answer has something to do with chromosomes. Or loam.

[6MisterFist9]

I'd rather use green and grey yarn.

[TheUhh66]

this causes me to feel worry

[anneflint]

Knit. Knit. Knit. Knitting.

I love you Dan!

[JennaVendetta]

"we're not making mistakes. we're making experiences." i am definitely using that line.
