I LOVE to watch flicking but am not a huge fan of the "pivot" of the needle, so I do a slightly modified version of this but instead of holding my right needle over hand, I hold it like a pencil (underhanded, balanced in the web of my thumb) and all I have to do to create the same fluid movement is straighten out my fingers and it wraps the yarn tip perfectly without needing to pivot. It's the exact same movement for the pearl stitch. I also wrap my yarn around my pinky, and ring finger on my right hand and then the yarn is laying between the needle and my index finger. I enter the stitch and make a quick (also flick type) movement by simply straightening out my fingers = tip wrapped! I'll probably end up doing a tutorial for it since I've literally never seen anyone (even on youtube) do it quite like I do, but I feel it's a smooth (dare I say "easier") modification since the pivot never comes into play. I disliked the need to pivot while I was trying to get comfortable with flicking, but simply changing my right hand grip to an underhanded (pencil style) grip since I'm already SUPER comfortable holding a writing instrument and BAM!!! THAT was my instant game changer since I was able to get comfortable with it literally instantly rather than an overhanded grip needing to practice never missing the yarn while your trying to perfect the "pivot." It also complete eliminates "thumb fatigue" from the overhanded grip and pivot.

What length cord did you use?

I LOVE this style. So much that I might take up knitting again. Which I had earlier thought was too clumsy and cluttered with the needles for me.

I came up with almost the exact same method. I wrap my yarn in an indescribable way through my fingers and complete a stitch in one coordinated movement. It is at least as quick as continental. I never knew what it is called though. It is very enjoyable. I also enjoyed your video.

I'm an English knitter to, a flicker too, but I do not need to wrap the yarn around my hand, only around my pinky and around my index forefinger. A lot faster, a lot less letting go and wrap again.

Can youbwork a cable down the center of the sleeve with this method?

This is kind of like knitting 2 socks at the same time. No counting!

Thank you so much for your video! I am wearing a sweater with uneven sleeves, so I know how valuable your technique will be for my future sweaters. Your explanation and video are both as clear as an Ontario (Canada) lake. <dimpled smile>

How do you flick the purl?

This is how I do my tension for knitting as well! I have never seen anyone else wrap their hand like this for tension before. It's nice to see someone else using them tension method...

Thank u for sharing ur knitted garments of the last two years. Its very interesting to see what u chose to knit. There are so many choices of what to knit or crochet. I don't think we will ever get bored from it. 🤩

U r adorable. I enjoy listening to u. My mom is full blood german & she named me Kathleen also. My yarn stash is huge. i went a little bit crazy after all my children moved out & my husband died. So i have totes & totes of beautiful yarns to knit & crochet with. I just love ur delightful verbal & facial expressions about ur yarn & projects. It all encourages me to remember my first love of yarning & to just delight myself in my privilege of knitting & crocheting beautiful items💜

I have been looking for a way to knit both sleeves together so I’m thrilled to find your video. I have such a difficult time making two identical sleeves when I knit them separately. Thank you very much.

thank you soooooooo much. it is very helpfull.regards from ankara

I’ve never seen the pivot point mentioned before! And I’ve watched a lot of flicking videos! Thank you!!

Instead of wrapping around the whole hand, try to wrap yarn around your little finger and put your thumb under the needle in a way that the needle cradles between the thumb and index finger . Hold the needle with your thumb and support the yarn with index finger and knit . Don't keep your index finger up in the air like you're doing in the video You can knit way faster if you try these tips

This is so helpful to me. Thank you so much.

Lovely podcast and beautiful projects! Just found your podcast via your tutorial on knitting 2 sleeves at a time which is so helpful. I'm going to try the technique on a raglan I'm currently knitting so thank you so much for that! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I've been knitting for over 30 years, in many different styles, but I had never seen this whole hand wrap tensioning technique. I tried it out while knitting a swatch and I LOVED IT! It seems to add a bit of extra twist to the yarn as I knit, and is so much less fiddly, so I am knitting faster. I'm using this technique to knit up a pair of socks on 9" circular needles right now and it is such a game changer. Thank you for sharing!

I notice that you have yto let the needle go every third or fourth stitch to adjust your tension. That is a lot of letting go.

these are all so amazing!! thanks for the pattern and yarn inspiration! i love that you showed projects from a longer period of time, reminding us that this actually takes so much time, and thats part of its beauty! <3

The Moonset Pullover looks so lovely on you ,I cant wait to have one myself ,thank you for your podcast ,so helpful

Which needles are you using, as in name brand. Thanks for the vid.

I can do this for the knit stitch, but purling is more difficult for me. Any suggestions?

I flick this way as well but I don't throw the yard with the right hand, too much movement. Instead I use my left forefinger to grab the fairly tightly held yarn on right hand to pull the yarn through to make the stitch. Try it. 😊

The STUPIDEST way of knitting. The american way. I was always thinking why would anyone do such a thing.

have to say that your Spring Bloom really does the pattern much more justice than the photo they have up on Ravelry, yours has a very beautiful stitch definition and yarn color. Ive got the pattern for that Cumulus blouse and have some mohair to make it just haven't gotten to it yet! do really like the look, my colors match yours i think they are camel? guess i'm not really excited to start working with mohair because you have to be perfect.

Like you i love PetiteKnit patterns and currently finished the NO FRILLS CARDIGAN which I really enjoyed knitting. It was for my daughter who happens to be the same age as yourself. Although the pattern suggests one yarn held with silk mohair I used a drops DK which was more affordable but still turned out lovely.

Thank you for this video, I have a quesiton, if I need knitting increases where do I knit them on both sides of the six increases or on both sides of the markers ? Sorry because the English is not my first language

What yarn is this sweater knit in?…..It’s beautiful. Thank you.

If you let the yarn come from your left hand, its much faster !

What a beautiful collection of yarns .Thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all , Thank you for sharing

Hi 👋🏻 thanks again for another lovely episode, beautiful projects .Definitely going to knit that Slip pattern and green is my favourite colour, so we can be knitting twins ❤

Nice, I really enjoy looking at Kim Hargreaves's patterns on Ravelry and dreaming about collecting all her books.

Thank you. 😊

As an English person with an English surname this method of knitting is the most natural to me.

I tried a crochet cast on for socks and it is really great. Very stretchy and neat. Oddly, I rarely attach memories to my time knitting garments. My memories are mostly of when I wore the garment or when the person I made it for wore it.

Thanks for that. I suppose it is easier if you use a needle with a sharp point.

I continue to enjoy your podcasts as your knitted items are all beautiful! Concerning the top you’re knitting for your friend: I have made my adult daughter( who lives 5 hours away) 2 knitted tops. I was able to successfully knit them to fit her by getting gauge, having her bust measurements, and having her length measurements. Trust yourself and your abilities. You can do this! 💕

it's another way of saying knit n purl no difference!

Thanks for this information

How do you purl with flicking? Does one only flick with knit and not purl?

Love your podcasts! You’re an intelligent, beautiful woman and a great knitter! I feel the same with many aspects of pattern reading and achieving gauge. Thank you for such a pleasant video 💕
