Hey guy knitting is the same woman's work! : 0) (Just kidding) Thanks to a good demonstration, three loops, I remember. At all there is an opinion that knitting recover from stresses, as the communication-hand with wool softens the mood for the day. How is it to forge business?

Regards Tim.

@suvarak I often find myself very relaxed and in a meditative mindset when handcrafting, no mater if I am carving bows, needle binding or black smithing. Maybe this is one of the reasons I do handcraft, but then again the sensation you feel when finishing something you have done yourself is unbeatable!

Take care Tim!

Do you happen to know the name of this stitch? I'd been learning the oslo stitch, which is just the one loop instead of three.. I like the look of this one so I'm curious if you happen to know what its called? :)

Kind regards, Mika

I have been trying to figure this out from only illustrations for a year. It was so frustrating I had to stop. Along comes your video, and it is so easy now! Thank you for such a good instruction on this technique. I picked it up right away from watching you once. Even a basic stitch is more than I was able to do before. Now I can make a hat for my boyfriend who likes to pretend he is a viking. :)

@steintanz Thanks Tim! As said I am not an expert but I try to inspire people to try different techniques and in this way preserve some of the old techniques.

Cheers!

Mika
