This is really great. I have a question. How do you knit ribbing this way? Can that be a next video?

[plainandtall]

Ribbing could be done this way- but because ribbing tends to be a slower knit overall- the time saving of not turning your work would be negligable. The only reason why I can imagine a person would knit ribbing in the back and forth method was to avoid repeat motion injury.

:-) FYI Just found a great easy pattern at ebeginnersknitting (.) com

Thank you so much I love it

Interesting... but you did it too fast. Slower and more close up would be helpful.

Love your video Sarah, but you are going a little too fast for me to follow. Especially the 'backwards' knitting. That is SO cool, but I couldn't really follow what you are doing. I've never seen backwards knitting before.

Loved it.. thanx alot for sharing this video.

Enjoyed this video! Note that this method works incredibly well with entrelac knitting. You'll save enormous amount of time using this method.

Thank you Sarah!

Have you ever knitted a small circumference article, using the magic loop method, with two circulars?

If so, how does one move or transfer their initial cast on, on a size larger needle(s), to the smaller needle(s), as called for in a pattern, or to obtain gauge, please?

Many thanks.
