  • Confuuuuuuused

  • Thank you! I have knitted and crocheted for years, but never used double pointed needles! I always avoided patterns that called for them.

    Your video made it so easy! I stopped and knit, stopped and knit, until I got it!

    thanks also to gigglebox102 for her tip!

  • Thank you, you make this look so easy! I've never been able to figure it out just from a diagram in a book/magazine before!

    

  • SUPER clear and helpful! Thank you!

  • @dramaqueengwn it's a sparkly cardigan lol

  • really helpful video!

    but, what is that sparkly black shirt thing in the backround?

  • Thank you Jan! Nice environment for your video as well as useful information I needed.

  • I keep trying this because i want to make a sock monkey, but I'm new to knitting and having trouble controlling my needles and as it only calls for 7 stitches to start with and that few of stitches is floppy. Can you please suggest anything that might help me get started easier?

  • @gigglebox102 this question was driving me crazy until after I reviewed a few dozen videos...hold the working and tail ends together. The empty needle goes into the tail end and use the working end to start kniting. Geesh I just confused myself but try it as I descrbed and good luck...I FINALLY got my circle to join.

  • Thanks for this!
