thank you so much for doing this vid!! Ive been reading the pattern to how to knit a mitten and when i got to the thumb part i had to idea what to do with the yarn that was left behind, so i cut it. Yes it was little tricky afterwards but i got through it D: Anyways these vids are so helpfull!! thanks again :D

This is great! I am working a sweater where the entire body is worked and then the sleeves - the pattern calls for BO stitches, then the next row cast them back on again - what a pain! I will try this "afterthought' method instead. Can a person do an increase, if needed for other applications, in the holding yarn and be able to pick up the freed loops later when adding the appendage?

What a wonderful explaination!!

These videos are super helpful! I always seem to have trouble with the thumb gussets. I'm glad you're showing different ways to do them. And I'm really glad it's clear enough to understand.
