  • i dont knit like either of those i must be special

  • Horrible camera work!!! What good does it do someone learning to knit to see it "mirror-style"?????

  • u cant even c wen she knitz because of the captions

  • I learned the American way from my grandmother, but hold the right needle resting in the crotch between my thumb and index finger, almost like holding a pencil. Then throwing the yarn with just my right index finger instead of with the entire hand and arm involved.

  • How do I control the thread tension in the American knitting style?
