How to Knit : How to Join Yarn & Change Colors in Knitting

[mleemur]

After searching soooo many videos, finally one that teaches you how to carry the main color with the new color. Thanks for the video!!

[amzxoxo1102]

half twist....?

[chasingsarcasm]

hate the way she says "white"...

[8PAlice]

OMG! I'm a beginner trying to teach myself how to knit and this has been the best video I've seen so far about how to change colors. Other methods I found online required cutting off string, or making a mess on the 'back side'. This one is just what i was looking for! Thanks for the great video!!! :D

[katherineluisa]

I.LOVE.KNITTING O.O

[JewSunStar]

Thank you for sharing this video.

[TheNeener81]

Thank you for this helpful video!

[PilotDJ192]

This video reminded me of the Cool Whip episode from Family Guy......

[jaredngarrett]

Your 'half twist' movement is too fast for beginners. Slow down, Flash.

[blossempower123]

UURRRGGG!! THis is confusing! NOw i can't knit a stripe scarf for my crush for Christmas! (He LOVES stripes!)

Hwait. I remember Stewie in Family Guy, Cool Hwip XD

[zombigrl137]

Haha! HWhite. She moves too fast. I have no idea what she's doing.

[Mimilicious84]

Thanks, this was very helpful! :)

[lmdr25]

Okay. i can get pas tthe hwite and all that jazz but is it ever maddening that I can't figure out how to not get the dumb dotted line on the other side of the scarf! is this normal!?! Not all scarves have this!! MADDENING!

[zajasna]

Great video , thank u :)

[shaylynarchuleta100]

did u see all that yarn!

[theSarkis]

Please knitting lady... Say cool whip!

[JazyGirl26]

sooooo what do i do with the strings in the end? if i cut them will they unravel?

[4bobo7]

Me and my friend invented our own way.

Ha!

I t was much easier!

Ha!

[cheezymouseful]

if you should be mad at anyone, it should be expert village. she was asked to do this, she didn't make this video. there are plenty of other videos out there that go step by step in detail...go there...but i'll tell you it's the same thing.

[hendsama2011]

how to i pick up a slipped stitch on the end i am a beginner.

[torilpd]

Dude she is just a good teacher, and i can learn from her like every day! She is just very amazing with her knowledge of knitting.

[ldskiba]

why are you going so fast?

[raevt]

This is actually a very good video, and I'm a continental-style knitter learning to change colours and it was nice seeing a video of a continental knitter changing colours. So what if she pronounces the "h" in white. That's the way its pronounced if you speak RP English (Received Pronunciation English - the way the BBC international radio broadcasters speak!) although this lady is American and all her other words are American pronunciation. Doesn't bother me. The video's great!

[12MarchHare]

i don't get it..

[CristaFabulous]

Hold on, so we don't need to tie any knots anywhere?

This is easier than I thought it was. So we just weave in the ends when we're done?

[foxyzzzzz]

It's an excellent video. If you find it too fast, you can stop the frames at any point to imitate the fingering, or back it up to any point. Tthat's the advantage of videos over diagrams or photos

[RabidBoi2]

Holy crap this woman knits fast. And I wanna slap her for saying hhhuuuwiat. Instead of WHITE, your not supposed to pronounce the H so much geez.

[hendsama2011]

certain people say white the correct way which has the W more pronounced and it just depends on where you were raised not everyone talks the same or life would be way too boring. they used to say white that way until it evolved over time.

[afropoppette]

Thaaaank you!!! I'm a beginner (started knitting on December 29th, 2010), and just watched your video today (January 6th, 2011). This was VERY easy for me to understand. I've only been crocheting since October, but I've gotten that down with Youtube videos too, but knitting takes the cake!

[heartsandstars98]

hwait....cool hwhip....:)

[drumerboy212]

YESSSS FUCKINNN FAMILY GUYY!!

[tp3reloaded80]

yep this demo is too fast. Def not a video for beginners but you know what even if I wasnt a beginner, the vid is supposed to teach someone something so it really should be slower. arrrrg!

[JewSunStar]

Thank you for your explanation. the half twist is a little fast demo.

[TheSilentPrincess]

Ok, some of you seriously need a lesson in manners >_>

Anyway, this video was a little tricky to get, but not as bad as most of you are making it out to be. I watched it twice and was able to pick it up, you can't just automaticly "get" something, you have to practice. Knitting isn't easy people, calm down lol

[eclipseworld20]

Thank You so much for this, I every 12 rows would cut my yarn everytime I wanted to switch, now I don't and this makes it look so much better!!! Thanks again!

[DiamondGirl1286]

How the eff is a 'half twist'. I don't get 0:50 - 1:12!!!!

[beanmoal]

Thanks a lot for uploading this video and for explaining how to change colors in knitting, it was very helpful.

[KelseyBeePink]

WTF. She goes WAY too fast there, buddy.

[gblan]

Something so simple couldn't possibly be made more complicated.

[microtdrift]

say white right

[TheDebbyG]

...The back looks like shit

[RE2LeonS]

The only thing I'm getting frustrated with is that she goes all slow for the pointless parts but when I want to know how the hell she weave's in the other end of the blue/green, her hand gets in the way of the camera and does some weird loop and pull and does it all fast and she loses me! So ANNOYING

[GrrlCurry]

Excellent, just what I was looking for. Now back to making those striped fingerless mitts.

[xVani11a]

You have no idea how many times I wanted to punch this lady because i couldn't get it. = =

And who says hwait instead of white? srsly.

-frustration-

[hendsama2011]

if you don't like it watch a different video instead of criticizing her when she is just making a tutorial if you don't get it watch one that you will not every video works for certain people.

[tdesty]

@xVani11a haha,ikr she only sits there and talk

[FindingLaika]

@xVani11a

the /hw/ phoneme (vs. the /w/ phoneme) is the original pronunciation.

and many people pronounce the /hw/ sound -- it's much more common than you may think. keep an eye out for it and you'll notice it.

(google search "phonological history of wh" for more info.)

also, i find that i hear it from intellectual people more often. i don't know if it's just me.

[BeStrixed]

Hi, thank you for this, it's excellent! Would you share your technique for stripes/color change in the round with magic loop-circular needles?

Thanks! :^)

[merlindog11]

???how do i do a "half twist"

[MoonChild1981]

Thank you for explaining this and using continental method when knitting. :)

[samleelv]

Dear Alison, thanks so much for this video, I corrected my silly mistake immediately. U R so right, just the other day I tried to add another yarn to my existing work, as I didn't know how to bring along the old yarn, it became 1 long strand up the side & too tight after several rows. I had to rip off the whole new yarn!

[MufletsUnite]

best yarn joining video on you tube

[SBETH4]

this is great Thank you. I bought Knitting for dummies to learn all the things i didnt know but sometimes its easier to hear and see it done than read it.

[randomROCKstars]

that really helped im akin a striped bracelet

[LaTiera09]

i've been tryin to get that done, this helps

[CottonCandy1378]

thank you I'm only 10 yrs old and I've been trying to add color for weeks! =)

[SallieJeane]

How do you do this if you are changing colors back and forth on the same row??

[luvumore31708]

thats what ive been trying to find out :/
