for some reason I keep adding a stitch at the beginning of my row that I keep having to drop when I get to it. Any chance you know what I am doing wrong. I realize I am creating an accidental YO, but not sure how since I am scooping under the working yarn for that first stitch. Your video is the only one I'm finding using an English knitting method. (I can do continental, but my tension isn't consistent.)
@Wnderlnd Not being able to see your hands I will do my best to walk you through it. Be sure that the working yarn is above the right hand needle when you knit the first stitch on the left hand needle (front needle). This will prevent the yarn over. Keep me posted on your progress!
@knitpurlhunter Thanks so much. I still have no idea what I was doing differently, but now I have no problem at all. I might have just needed to set my work down, take a break and try it again.
I'd LOVE to see a video on magic loop starting with a purl stitch. Do you still scoop under the working yarn? I wouldn't think so, but either way it doesn't work for me. I have the same problem with DPN.
Thanks again! Your videos are by far the easist to understand and see!
@Wnderlnd You are most correct! You do not need to "scoop under" the working yarn when the needle begins with a purl stitch. I found this out the hard way as I was teaching myself the magic loop years ago.
Hi, can you do a video on knitting two socks at a time on two circular needles from the toe up. Please respond back when you get a chance to , thanks alot.
hi! i really like your video, however, I have a question: I am a continental knitter. Do I need to do anything differently?

@AbstractOddity No, everything is the the same for you except your yarn is in your left hand. Happy knitting!
