    I literally almost cried I learned how to do the cast on method in under 30 minutes. I have autism so this was a big accomplishment for me. I found discounted yarn at Walmart for 71 cents. Thanks for the upload

    This THMB is how my grandmother taught me as a child..... she was an avid knitter and crocheter all her adult life, won many prizes for her work... I sit and watch all those complicated methods and shake my head, why would you cast on any other way than the THUMB method

      My mum taught me the thumb method too! (I had just forgotten some of how to do it but it came back to me). Her mum used to knit pullovers as a job in Ireland mid last century, didn't get paid much though. Unfortunately I seem to have been taught the English method of knitting which is slower than Continental, Shetland etc etc so I will have to retrain my muscle memory somehow. I would rather do things more efficiently, knitting is so slow for me!

      Ummm.....what “proper” way? There IS no “proper”way, other than that it works for the purpose you’re using it for. I was taught to cast on this way and I see no good reason to complicate things.

    I picked up my needles last night and grabbed some yarn from my crochet bag and went to town following your videos. Today I have a decent little start and I’m already feeling more comfortable with the motions! I’ve shared your videos to a friend and told her to try as well! My husband saw and went to Amazon to buy me a kit to work with! LOVING IT! Your how to videos are great and I look forward to watching and learning many more knitting skills/techniques from them! Thank you!

I hate asking her every time as I'm currently makeing a blanket out of a bunch of small squares. The fact your videos are so simple and well structured means I usually only need to skip through them to remind myself of what to do. ❤
