@Super16081974 All natural, baby!

what do you do with the increased number of stitches, if you are supposed to have for eg.20 and now with a yarn over you have more, thanks

@michaelB144 If you want a hole but no increase, knit together the two stitches after the yarn over, and this will keep your total number of stitches the same.

Thank you so much. I found this while trying to figure out why my lace knitting never ever comes out as planned. I was convinced that I was making YOs incorrectly. That was kind of true, but the real problem was that I have been making purl stitches incorrectly for years! This video finally pointed out the mistake and I have my first successfully rendered lace scarf in the works. Thanks you so much for setting a self taught knitter onto the road of correct purling and YOs

@echobrook85 What a sweet comment. I'm happy to have helped. Enjoy your non-wonky knitting!

I think that you are so clear in your instructions and go at a pace that makes it doable. Also, great tone of voice. You are awesome, and most of all THANK YOU!

Your teaching video is EXCELLENT! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. Its so much easier to understand when you see someone do a technique than when you read about it in a book.

You explained it so well, thank you

Best wishes

I really enjoy your videos. I'm teaching myself to knit and I cannot learn from written instructions. Your pacing/explanations are excellent. And it's a nice bonus that your voice and hands are beautiful. You've helped me learn several things just tonight. Thank you :)

I am knitting from an old pattern book. Part of the pattern says yarn over, slip one, knit one , psso. After the yarn over do I slip as a knit stitch or as a purl stitch.

@echobrook85 the people who say that YOs are incorect didn't have a try at all...

I just wanted to say thanks for such a lovely and informative video! Not only did you explain how to do a yarn over, but also showed how it affects your pattern. I learned so much in 2 minutes! :)

@lilchook1 Don't knit one extra stitch - just slip the next stitch and knit the stitch after that.
