How to Knit - Changing Between Knit and Purl Stitches

Hello knitters! This video is designed to give you lots of clear and helpful information about changing between the two foundation stitches of knitting: the knit stitch and the purl stitch. I have also posted detailed videos regarding the individual stitches and how to make them.

Happy knitting!

Useless. You move too fast for me to see anything. It was totally unhelpful. How are you supposed to learn from that. God, doesn't anybody think before posting these? Too fast, no good.Too far away, no good. Its constant.

@hellboundsweet I feel your frustration! To answer your question: yes, I think before I post videos. I think about what challenges knitters might face when learning a new technique, and I try to help as much as I am able. However, as you've noticed, there are limitations to what can be achieved in videos. I suggest that you stop by your local yarn shop and ask them to show you how it's done. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help you. Good luck with your knitting adventures!

Check your tension. If it's too loose then you're not holding your yarn tightly enough or you're using knitting needles that are too large for your individual tension.

You have no idea how stupid I felt! I've been looking for weeks and no other resource I've found so far has explained this. Thank you so much!
