    wow, i have a friend of mine that does backwards knitting, and i never even knew the technique existed until she showed me. it's a perfect technique for any piece that is made simply in stockinette stitch... BUT i have a question...can backwards knitting be done for ribbing??

    Thank you for your very clear videos! You go nice and slow and repeat the stitches so that it becomes clear. I also appreciate the camera being close up, nicely in focus, and the non-distracting simple blue background.

    Your videos are a great example of what instructional videos should be. Great job!

    Another GREAT tutorial Miss Knit Witch!!! I did not know there was such a thing as that. I thought it was a "tink" (reverse knit) video for correcting mistakes.

    I will practice all your videos with my cheap white acrylic yarn. Thanks again!!

    wow. amazing. I can definitely see the advantages to being able to knit backwards. I am going to have to try that with some of my scraps and do a swatch.
