This was very helpful. Reading was just not working, I am a visual learner anyways. You took your time and gave precise instruction and repeated the process many times. I hate using DP needles and now I may be able to throw mine away. When knitting in the round I take the stitch from the left needle, move it to the right needle and then take the second stitch on the right needle and slip over the first stitch and onto the left needle. This closes the loop and makes for a clean closure.

Hi! I love your videos because you are very easy to understand. I've learned a lot from them. But how do you keep that first join from ending up with a ladder? You can always tell where my knitting started because of this and I was hoping that you would address this (that's why I went to you when I started looking for help) :-)

@Sqbrt Thank you! Usually any ladder at the beginning will close up as soon as you do a few rounds. You can also use your tail when you weave it in to help close any gaps. I also have a video that teaches how to avoid laddering in general - search my YouTube channel for "gaps" and you will find the video. Let me know if this helps!

delicious video! fun, cheeky attitude.Even tho I knit in the round with real smal circular needles, I always wondered how this was done well done!

@psdumas Well, thank you!! :) I'm so glad that you liked the video! I'm glad it gave you the opportunity to see how this is done. :)

@Melatina77 That's so wonderful! I am so glad that I could help you figure out Magic Loop. :) It's great once you get the hang of it, isn't it? Keep up the great work! You can find other videos on Magic Loop if you visit knitfreedom (dot) com , too! Enjoy!

I just couldn't learn this for some reason but last night I watched this video and I practiced! You made me understand it! Now I know how to do it and can not believe I was having trouble. Thank you so much! I used Susan Bates Velocity 29" circs. No problem these needles are great for magic loop because the cable is so flexible. I'm glad I bought them when they were on sale! Thank you so much for this video!
