Make One Left

[HeyRuka]

You have a very soothing voice. :)

[KellyKautz]

Thank you, thank you. This didn't make any sense until I saw your video.

[nabtvs]

You are a Goddess! Thank you so much for posting these fantastic videos! Now I can make the patterns I was always afraid to try! :)

[sophiemarie49]

Thank you so much for making this video. I just could not understand it from book instructions!

[Imnotdumbimjustcrazy]

How do you know when you need to make a stitch that will lean to the left and when you need to make a stitch that will lean to the right? The mittens I'm trying to knit just say increse.

@Imnotdumbimjustcrazy - If the pattern does not specify then it does not matter. Use your personal preference. Just make sure you use an opposite increase on the other side of the row. If you do a m1l at the beginning of the row, then do a m1r at the end of the row.

Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. I'm a beginning knitter and I have some friends that are wiling to teach me, but I live about 300miles away in the boonies so I can't really pop over to their house to ask them a question. Your videos are very easy to follow! Thanks again!

[SirahOracle]

Wow, this is my second time trying to learn (self-teach) how to knit. I even asked what a M1 was the other day on Ravelry! I have never been able to understand it.. just plain Make WHAT??!?! But, now I think I may go back and work on some patterns I had passed up in the past.

[mychachaheels]

I'm reading a pattern that says "paired m1 (make one) increases:

first increase of each pair: using the left needle, pick up horizontal strand between last

stitch and next stitch, from the front. Knit through the back loop.

second increase: using the left needle, pick up the strand from the back and knit."

could you tell me the difference between this and "make one"?

I would be extremely thankful if you could help me with this.

[theknitwitch]

It does not seem that there is any difference to me - they are just explaining it so that you know whether to do a m1r or a m1l.

[mychachaheels]

Oh thank you so much for you reply!

As a starter, your videos have been a great help for me, I'm your fan!

Just to make sure it goes like this: "PM, k1, PM", so it means that on the first PM, I'll m1l, then I'll k1, then on the other PM I'll m1r?

[theknitwitch]

You got it!!! :)

[EveStarr]

Clear as can be. I love the labeled sample as well. I would recommend every video by this contributor to my friends who are just starting out. These videos were obviously well-planned and the quality of these close-ups are really professional.

[loopy6idol]

Hooray! I love your videos! Thank you so much!

[ElectricAnimations]

[rwilkes47]

Thank you very much! You are a great help!

[jls1ct]

I'm confused ... isn't this an increase?

[theknitwitch]

Yes, this will increase one stitch.

[bimblerluvsgrub]

You have saved me countless hours of trying to decipher knitting techniques from books. Your videos are invaluable, I can't thank you enough!

[rcosel]

This is terrific. i finally understand this stitch

[srovercast]

I'm a beginner knitter but am trying to increase my knowledge. Your videos are invaluable. Clear, slow enough to follow along and exactly what I need. Thanks so much!

[stilaboo9]

Thank you for your videos. They are so clear. I am a visual learner. I have to see someone doing the stitches before I can do them on my own.

[seri888]

This is so cool to watch. Ive started knitting lace and at times its confusing me still. Though with your explanations its all easy! Many thanks and greetings from Germany.
