Thank you for the video! It's a great help! Maybe it would be better to zoom out a little to give your hands more room for roaming. It's hard to follow when it's out of shot... But thanks for the tricks!

Thank you so much! After 50 years of knitting I have finally got the hang of this! I'm a really experienced knitter - done my own designing and thought I'd always have to use the 3 needle cast off till I found your vid"

OMG, I always thought I would never get it. With Your video, I did my first grafting with only 2 mistakes (140 stchs on both my needles). And although my mother language is not english, I went on murmuring: knit, slip, purl, purl, slip, knit... :D
That's what I call KNITTING HELP ;D
Thanks a lot!

Would this work on the lotus stitch?

Oh good gravy! You know how some things just do NOT click? The kitchener stitch has been one of those things for me. Until you explained it the way you did as to what the tapestry needle was actually doing in those terms,knit-wise, purl-wise, and slip, I wasn't grasping what was going on. I'd have to read the instructions step-by-step(usually in terms like, through the front, or from the back, and slide worked stitch off needle) every time I wanted to use it. I get it now! Great video! Thanks!

paperkite03, I came across that exact dilemma, so I did "knit (slip)" in the stitch nearest me, then "purl (slip)" on the remaining stitch before drawing the yarn to the back of my work to tie off and weave in. It looked pretty seamless. I hope that helps :)

I've watched several videos on this, but had trouble remember the steps. Your instructions were basic and veory easy to understand. The chant (k-sl-p, p-sl-k) really helped. :0)

Great method, but would be a lot easier to learn if the knitter's hands and needles stopped wandering out of camera range!
