How are you tensioning the yarn? Is it around your neck? It seems to be coming from your neck or shoulder area. Seeing how the yarn is tensioned would be very helpful. Thank you.

With my finger, you can see how in my first lesson.

Thank you so much! I practiced your technique for knitting and purling, and it worked for me! Yours is the only technique I understand because I don't have to hold both needles in an awkward position like most knitting techniques. I finally know how to knit. Thank you! :-)

This is amazing. I'd heard about this on Ravelry, but all the stuff there didn't make much sense. Your videos are really amazing. The purl stitch makes so much /sense/.

Hi! I have a question- how do you do increases (purl and knit-wise)? Thanks.

yes this does look efficient. i was intimidated to try it at first, but if it's THIS easy, then i'm on it right away!
