Although a great video, I will say that the background music is quite a distraction and annoyance and serves no purpose that I can see. Sorry if I sound gruff but feel you should know.

That’s cat for you

Lol I'm glad you said that about fingering weight because I feel uncomfortable saying it around people who don't do yarn crafts 😂 Also I have never heard of breaking yarn, every pattern I've ever heard of just says "leave xx inches at the end" or something

In the UK we call it 4ply yarn, but more and more people now refer to it as 'Fingering' Weight and I honestly hate it. Why can't we adopt 4ply as a collective instead it's so much nicer!

End yarn would be a better term instead of break yarn. 11:33 11:34

Thank-you for this review. I have been intrigued by these needles, but have not tried a pair myself. I would have the same issue with them; if the join is not good, they won’t work for me.

Thank you for this video! I'm not a native English speaker, so for me it was almost a linguistic class :D About the expression "breaking the yarn": I absolutely despise it >:D It provokes me a visceral reaction - in whatever language the pattern is written. I recognise it is silly and petty, but any time I read "break the yarn" I think: "Break? What are we, baboons? You CUT the yarn with a proper tool, you barbarian!" I almost only knit with natural fibers, but I will always cut my yarn, against the pattern instructions. I'm such a rebel XD

Your German demonstration is a lifesaver to me - I was just missing that last part. I'm a lefty so your 'English' way of demonstrating was helpful, even though I don't necessary knit that way.

I never thought about any knitting words as anything other than knitting terms. Until today. 😆🤣

I came for knitting words and subscribed for Monty Python!😄🌻

I don't think anything of term breaking yarn.

Hi. I only just came across your podcast and watched part 1 out of interest. I’m an English style knitter who is English and live in England! 😂 I use the knife style mostly but do also use the pen method. I also use 40cm long straight needles under arm. 55 years of knitting this way. I recently learnt the continental style for colour work which is useful. I’ve enjoyed learning different techniques. Thank you for you video 🎉

I bought a set and mine any of the ones I’ve used have taken my bodys natural oils are causing them to rust. Its ridiculous. This started happening not long a few months after starting to use them. I don't use them they sit. I doI wrote to them and got no answers. I feel like I deserve a refund.

If you tension your harm through the first two fingers of your right hand, you will find it us a lot less work

I am a Lever (Irish Cottage knittting) It is how I was taught

Thank you Carrie! I have been knitting socks for a couple of years now, using the heel flap and gusset method. I have just begun to branch out into different heels, and found this video really helpful, allowing me to try Cat’s Sweet Tomato Heel. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺🧶😊

I just tried the zigzag on double points and it was a pain dealing with the needles. I was wondering if you could put all the stitches on one needle, alternating them, and work them that way. Then it would be a 2 needle bind off with k1p1. I may try that with the next sock.

👍

That is so mesmerizing lol

This is a great explanation of how to do the garter repair. Thanks I will be saving this to my favorites!

I Love doing the old ways

Never knew it was called Lever knitting? I was taught English style by my mother!

Are completing the entire shadow wrap method, it was unclear to me in the video.

When you purl back are you. purling 2 together. Are you completing the shadow wrap method?

You should call that yarn Valentine's Day!

I have attempted this style but how long does it take to become comfortable with it? I'm a slow knitter and often become frustrated when it takes me forever to finish a project. I do enjoy knitting because it takes my mind off other things and keeps my hands busy....if you know what I mean.

Hi there. Your shawl came out, so lovely. Your hand spinning is getting so good, and that fiber sounds really nice. Your work really is beautiful, great job! I was just wondering what happened with that case the other day, so it was nice to get an update. ❤🐻

I really enjoy your TH-cam channel.

I teach newbies knitted cast on - multiple benefits: teaches knit stitch AND a versatile cast on! From there, it's an easy move to cable cast on. So what are the benefits of Chinese waitress CO? Does anyone know the gal who first shared it?

I’ve never been crazy about the long till Car’s done. If I want a cast on that is more stretchy I use the crochet cast on. It has all the qualities of the long tail cast on, but does not require you to estimate an extra length of Yarn needed for the cast on. It simply uses the ball yarn.

The Raglan myth surprised me! I taught myself the start of sweater design from an old Patrons sweater book. It was a book that had a bunch of different sweater styles and sizes, including raglan - but they were all in pieces and knit bottom up, because that was The Thing when this book was published! I've never heard anyone define a raglan that way, but I admit, I'd be annoyed if they did! 😂 And thank you for the long-tail cast on tip! Mine does often come out too tight, so the idea of spacing it out with your finger is something I'm definitely going to have to try! (I've also heard the advice of casting on on a slightly bigger needle, but I'm too disorganized to try and fish out Yet Another Needle Set just to cast on! 😅) Wait, why on earth would you mattress stitch a seam on a slipped-stitch selvedge stitch? Just, uch, no! If it needs a selvedge stitch (some stitch patterns definitely do), I'd much rather do a full stitch each row? So much easier to do a mattress stitch into?

Me: watching a video about knitting myths Also me: crocheting while watching 😅 (Its a bit too warm here to work on the things ive been knitting so i picked up a doily project to do until its a little cooler)

My favorite heel is the shadow wrap. Once I tried it, that was it for me. It's so clean and pretty and it's so much faster than my next favorite (the forethought or after thought heel). Denise (Earthtones Girl) has a fabulous tutorial showing how to do it, super clear and free 😊

Why would you choose long tail cast on over knitted cast on - to teach newbies? For any project?

Best demonstration of lever knitting that I have seen. I will be giving it a go. I swapped from English knitting to a combined continental style which was less stressful to my hands. Thanks

I, too, changed from an inside to an outside pull girlie. The yarn barf wasn't the kicker though... it was that my yarn would almost always kink up on itself while I was pulling from the inside of the ball. Just enough to drive me effin crazy

A cheap yoga mat under your wheel will keep it from moving

When you move to a different hook on the flyer try skipping every other hook and you’ll be able to fit more yarn on the bobbin and go longer between changing hooks. Suppose the hooks are numbered. Use odd numbered hooks as you go one direction on the flyer and even hooks as you come back.

People need to stop being so judgy. As you said, acrylic yarn has a place and is very popular for reasons. If people like it, good for them. You're funny (as in entertaining): subscribed 😊

Huzzah! Finally managed the like 😊 I loved your point about being bold. That is very important, and too many people hesitate when impulsivity is called for. Knitting is very forgiving. Mistakes can be fixed, unsatisfactory results can be ripped out, more yarn can be had. If it's supposed to be fun, there's no place for fear (I think).
