As a new self taught knitter, I really appreciate these videos. I've watched so many and this channel is the only one that actually goes through the steps slowly. Thank you so much for these!
@@Honey_Bear17 I went really slow when I first started knitting. When I watched this video I did the steps with Devina as she did them. I accidentally dropped the stitch a lot but I kept practicing. I didn't follow a pattern when I first learned either, I did 10 stitches across and continued that until I got the stitch down. So all I can say is go slow, keep practicing, and if you get really frustrated then it's okay to put your project down and come back to it. I hope that helps, you can do this.
Even though I have been knitting for years now (with books, when YT wasn't a thing yet and Ravelry was just at its beginning), I wish I had a teacher like you back then. It would have save me a lot of headaches. Lol. You share your knowledge with kindness, generosity and humour - what a fantastic and not so common combo. We, viewers, are the lucky ones! Thank you so much for your tutorials and sweet personality - love your channel! x Radha
PLEASE HELP. I’m new to knitting. I have a problem. I have a project that requires an m1. MC: chain 3 Row 1: k1, m1, k1, m1, k1 How do I make the m1? I can’t get to the middle bar piece with only 3 chains below. Am I missing something?
@@Malibu_Man Hi! I am afraid I can not help you without reading the original pattern. To me, a chain stitch is for crochet, not knitting so this part already confuses me. 😞 Sorry!
I've been crocheting since I was 5. Yes 5 it was how I could bond with my mother. I'm now 33 and learning how to knit it's been 3 days I can knit purl and now I'm learning the cable. I think it's easier bec I crochet but the two needles and how I hold my yarn is definitely wrong but it's comfy lol but before Ifound theses videos there was no one else who taught it perfectly like her. So I actually get what is going on lol
Same. Crocheting since I was 8 years old or so. I’ve been thinking I was knitting but I was the purling. This was the most informative video I’ve seen.
The ancient world had such a deep respect for this art form, from the weavers of fate to Athena's contest with Arachne. It's even possible that one ancient Egyptian creation myth had Neith - the goddess of weaving - literally knit the world into existence. I loved the way you touched on that with the Roman Janus at the end.
My aunt Mary taught me how to knit when I was 10 yrs old she taught me the basics, now that I'm 34 I found myself wanting to knit but I needed a refresher course as well as learning different types of stitches You're one of the best teachers out there ❤️ Thank you for all that you taught me so far.
I can’t thank you enough for these videos. I’ve struggled doing the Purl stitch for years, and you’ve taught it in such a simple way. I literally exclaimed “I did it!” out loud 😂
Yay!!! i just bought my first knitting needles and started to learn from your videos today. Your videos are so clear and wonderful and I love it! I was able to learn in a couple of hours from your vids. Thank you!!
OMGosh! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve been trying to learn the purl stitch for 30 years or so…you know, before TH-cam. I just could not understand the pictures in the books I bought. I have mastered the knit stitch, but just couldn’t get that elusive purl stitch….until now. All thanks to you. I’m now practicing so that I can make something other than scarves.🧣 LOL 😂. Plus…you are so sweet and fun. I look forward to watching your videos and making a slouchy beanie. Love ❤️ your channel. Stay safe and I hope you have a great day.😀
Until around 4 days ago I would've never thought that one day I'll learn how to knit because it always seemed so hard for me but I just learned knitting from your videos! 🤯 Thank you so much!
i need you to know i have almost been in tears trying to knit as a crocheter. your videos are the ONLY ones that have made me successful. i have completed 2 rows one knit and one pearl. this is success for me. thank yoh
Your video made me realize I've been wrapping my yarn upside down on purl stitches for the better part of four decades - thank you so much for the detailed instruction!
Just started knitting again after decades of doing other activities. I have watched 3 tutorials and tried to follow the instructions for purl stitch with no success. Purl stitch was something I could not grasp even as a child. Then I found your tutorial and wow! I can follow you, purl is not difficult (or scary). Thank you so much.
Gosh thank you so much! I've been teaching myself to knit and have been using so many of your videos. Honestly can't stand most other knitting videos. You have the best voice and actually go at a perfect speed for following along! Thank you!
Best comments ever!!!💯. It's frustrating wasting soooooo much time on bs videos that drag on without actually teaching properly. So glad I found this channel! One and done lol❤
I’ve been knitting for seven years. Today, you taught me how to do a purl stitch. I’ve been trying to learn but it never made sense until now, thank you!!!
I agree with everything NoRa said in comments, except that I am new to this! I really appreciate your pace, and that you share not just your knowledge, but you are also generous with your love for knitting. I can imagine that you make everyone feel like they can knit, and that is really extraordinary teaching skills on your part!!!❤
Your videos are the absolute BEST!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Before I found your videos I tried learning to knit from beginner books and other videos. They were all so confusing. I’m a visual learner, but no matter how many pictures and videos I watched and tried to learn from nothing helped me. Until I found you! I really appreciate how you’ve slowed down and showed us how to make the stitch, multiple times, and then you speed up and show us how you’d do it real time. I’ve seen all of your beginner videos and I’ve been raving to my husband about how much I’m learning from you. I’m so excited to learn more, thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher!
This is, (ahem) “hands down”, the best beginner’s tutorial I have ever seen….very clear instructions both visually and verbally! Thank you, from a very confused beginning knitter!,
I have taken in person knitting lessons in the past. I decided to start up again and could not remember anything! So happy I found your tutorials. They are simply amazing. I am learning so much more watching your tutorials than from taking knitting classes. Thank you!!!
I've tried learning to knit for years off and on with books and struggled with it. I watched your casting on, how to knit, and how to purl videos last night and feel like it finally makes sense now! Thank you!
I just have to say that Sheep and stitch is the best videos to learn from.. I’ve watched many and have tried learning knitting for a while now until I found these videos and I’m on my way to being a pro LOL being a visual learner she makes it so easy!! Thank you!
Just finished my very first knit stitch scarf and now over to purl. I learned the scarf entirely through your videos and purl is going great so far too! Your tutorials are invaluable, they're so easy to follow I could do it on my own without any other help!
You are the reason I got into knitting and I've used almost exclusively your vids to learn. You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for giving me my calming method
I just began knitting, I learned the knit sitch in 4 days. I learned the purl in a day. This is so easy! I love your videos that are perfect pace to learn!
@@alvisarker8621 not necessarily, if you're more used to knitting then crochet will be a bit difficult to get the hang of. Don't worry tho, the more u practise, the better u'll get :)
As a new self taught knitter , I watched many videos on TH-cam but none of them are that good your tutorials are step by step which is very helpful I learnt a little from your video Thanks❤
You are seriously so awesome!!! The first person to ACTUALLY make beginner friendly videos 🥹. I love that you go step by step and always clarify / repeat. Recently started knitting and it’s been such a struggle finding beginner friendly tutorials. They’re either too fast, camera is too zoomed out or they leave out the “basics” which is what total beginners actually need . I’ve watched so many of your videos now and it’s so helpful! I love the way you explain! Thank you so much!! ❤
When I first started to purl stitch, I had used the wrong size needle for the yarn I was using, so it was rlly hard and I gave up trying. Now, After trying it again, I couldn’t be more thankful for this awesome tutorial! You made it so easy!
I used to knit in middle school and stopped for whatever reason... It's been 10 years now. Finally remastered the knit stitch a few days ago but could not figure out how i ever purl stitched, and this was so easy to follow!! Amazing tutorial, thank you
This was so fantastic, the amount of times you repeated the steps and with different tips was just the right amount of times to make it stick in my brain
I have always wanted to knit, I picked up crochet at thirteen and am fairly accomplished at it. I learned how to cast on and knit at fourteen or so, but I have never been able to purl. I’ve watched video after video and read book after book, but I just couldn’t do it. I’m now 20 and on a whim decided to try again, and omg, I finally did it!! Thank you so much for this video!!
7:02 is when I started screaming because I finally understood. Thanks so much for making this video! I've only ever knitted garter stitch -- this was so cool to learn!
I felt the same way. I managed to make some very basic scarves years ago by hand. Recently machine knitting has been taking over and I can do that just fine, but I could never figure out how to pwrl. I knew that it is the knit stitch in reverse (basically) but could never place my hands right. Now I can move on to all the cool stitches and move on from bulky scarves.
Your videos are by far the simplest and easiest I’ve seen. I have completely learnt to knit a simple and the purl stitch because of your videos! Thanks so much.
After watching several videos tonight, it suddenly all clicked to me and I was able to do the purl stitch! Thank you for your helpful video! Glad I have this stitch down so now I can move on to combining it with the knit stitch to do the stockinette stitch 😊
Heya! Can you please do a tutorial on the Harry Styles jumper. I know a few youtubers have done tutorials but none them can compare to your level of quality when it comes to teaching us! Thankyuuu and kisses in advance! 😘 *Please like this comment so she will see* 💛💛💛
I can't believe how perfect this tutorial was and how amazing some of your other ones are. I literally was crying because I couldn't seem to follow a different video that others said was the best thing they could find and then I found this video and was so relieved to have someone that truly is a great teacher and wants to help others thank you so much
Thank you! I am finally ready for the purl stitch after 20 years lol. I honestly just stop but it’s actually fun doing this again. When I was a kid we only learn the basic but we were suppose to learn the purl but they closed our club afterschool then life happen and here I am back at it again. lol
Omg thank you! I really want to start knitting, I saw a video of someone showing how to do this and I could not pick it up at all!! Literally within watching you do the first stitch i knew exactly how to do it!!!!
Thank you for showing us so clearly the two basic stiches, the knit and purl. You are a great gifted Teacher. Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge .
I'm completely new to knitting and I bought a kit for a beanie with the Experience level supposedly at Beginner. It says to make a slip knot, cast on some stitches, and Knit 2 Stitch and Purl 2 Stitch. I had zero idea what any of that meant and these videos are helping me so much. Thank you!
I have only been knitting for the last couple of months just starting with the basic stitches but after watching your vid, I managed to do a few purl stitches. I definitely need to practice this stitch more though. Thank you for sharing, clear and concise instructions 🧶
My Great Nan with whom I share a name was an amazing knitter I am told, so I want to learn to see if any of her skill has passed down to me. I am, however, a complete beginner and this is by far the best youtube channel for me. I really appreciate the slowed down step by tiny step approach as well as the animations and other visuals, it's incredibly helpful. Thank you for dumbing it down without making me feel dumb😂. I will be revisting many times when I eventually begin a proper project.
I learned "purl" from Words With Friends, so entering "purl" brought me here. I have never knitted in my life, but it was cool to watch and to learn all the different knitting techniques.
You do a great job teaching! I am a beginner knitter and watched several teaching videos to learn basic knitting and stopped at yours! Like someone else said it here, you take your time and do a great job showing slowly how to knit! Thank you! I am working on my first scarf thanks to one of your other videos! Can't wait to learn more!
Im a happy crocheter of 23 years and thought knitting was difficult only to find Youre amazing tutorials! I'm looking forward to knitting my first hat without using the sentro or loom but needles
i love how clear and concise you are and that you repeat the same things to make everything clear and make for good repitition of the correct technique i should be using when working on a piece!
Thank you so much! Ive been trying to bond with my grandma more through knitting but i couldnt seem to grasp this stitch from her. I didnt want to break her little heart so i said id keep working on it at home. This video was perfect!
You are a GEM!!! I have watched different videos and they always lost me. They did not take the time you have done. I have to make a new blanket for my granddaughter. Believe it or not I only knew how to cast on and knit stitch. Never knew you were supposed to knit then purl Yep I made 7 blankets for grandchildren only using the knit stitch. I also used to donate 4 inch squares which I volunteered to do. Yea me. Been doing it wrong for 11 years! Oh well they worked. But I wanted to do something different. You ought to see the yarn I have in the floor next to me trying to learn this stitch!
As if I didn't have enough hobbies already, I learned to knit a few days ago. I'm knitting chunky potholders I saw being sold everywhere. In lieu of 6mm rope, I'm using two strands of 3mm cotton macrame rope. It was my understanding that I'm doing a "knit stitch" but my stitch pattern looks like the stitch pattern example you showed at 07:00 in your video. My stitches look like that on BOTH SIDES. I'm a crocheter so I have no clue about knitting stitches but my potholder is coming along beautifully. The downside is that I want to learn more stitches! Great video.👍 Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
I love how you have enough patience to keep repeating the same action over again so that people can actually understand. Thank you so much for this, extremely helpful :) love
😳. 😳. I can’t believe how easy you made that. I can’t believe that you took something I have been struggling with forever and passed the skill on in a few min! Thank you so much!
Yay! I am so glad I found you. I gave up knitting in frustration many many years ago. Pearl was especially frustrating then and when I decided to try again, yep, still troublesome. Then I found your videos and I did a whole row correctly for the first time ever! Thank you so much! I kept looking at shawl patterns sadly but now I have hope!
Anyone else just trying to learn how to knit and thinking “How did people learn to do this?” Like at some point, some human picked up two needles or sticks or something, they put string or yarn or whatever on there in different ways and somehow figured out a way to perfectly weave it into things…. HOW? How did someone learn to do this?!
Trial and error. I’m sure at some point they stopped using literal sticks. Maybe they already knew how to weave using plants and went, “hey, how about we invent a more versatile form of weaving? Like, we can make different things with the same method?”
Lots and lots of trial and error, I imagine. We needed clothing, and we slowly learned what worked. Some things worked better than others, and those are what got passed on and taught. You do have to assume the ones who came up with it to begin with are the types who’d be engineers today, though. That required some abstract constructive thinking to an extent not everybody is capable of.
I've been trying to learn how to knit with many videos. Yours has been the easiest to learn from, thank you for narrating each step and repeating it 10 times! This is a video I can knit alongside :)
I’m currently teaching myself to knit and I cannot express how helpful this was for learning the purl. I’ve been battling it for some unknown brain block reason and this is definitely the cleanest, clearest tutorial yet! Thank you so much!
I have been wanting to knit for years, I finally got myself a little how-to booklet and your tutorials have helped so much!! The booklet I have makes it so much harder than it needs to be 😅.
THANK YOU! I have watched 5 different videos and still couldn't understand purling and you have made it incredibly simple and easy to understand. I will definitely stick to your tutorials from now on.
That tip about what to do with the tail around 1:40 would’ve been useful for your knit stitch video. I didn’t know what to do with it for a while until I just watched the video over and saw what you did. It’s not a big deal. I’m glad you mentioned it in this video.
These tutorials are sooo helpful! I’m a beginner(but already love knitting!)and it’s so helpful to see a stitch done slowly but also multiple times. Thank you so much for these videos!!
Best knitting tutorial channel ever! Not only are the videos funny but the rythme is perfect, explanations clear and demos to the point! So happy I found you guys. I can now take my knitting skills to the next level !
i’ve been trying to learn to knit for over five years and given up so many times because i didn’t understand the purl stitch. with this video i got it on my third try. marvelous tutorial thank you 😊
@@sheepandstitch ...hello Davina!...i just posted a comments but i cant see it...just saw the purl stich video but got confused on what is the point about knit stich...i love your videos !...i learnt how to knit stiches and made my 2 first scarfs...not perfect, but ok...but got lost about the purl stich 🤔...I learnt on this video how to do it..pls let me know...thx !
After finishing 12 rows of yoke stitching someone told me I had twisted stitches. Turns out I had learned how to purl wrong this whole time. Thank you for this video!!
Thank you so much for this. you've made purling so easy for me. i've been confused with the purl stitch for over 2 weeks and im so glad to finally purl!
omg i’ve been garter stitching for a month now and i thought purl stitching would be difficult 😂 glad to see it’s so easy! thanks for the video tutorial, i’m going to make my cousin a baby blanket!
I am so glad I found you! I could never get the hang of the purl stitch. Now, thanks to you I'm enjoying knitting. I just knitted the stockinette stitch.
Thank you so much for this video. I have wanted to learn to knit for years. Your video is the first one that did not cause me to have a panic attack! I am definite subscriber
this video is so helpful ^^ i like how you speak slowly and clearly when demonstrating, it makes it very easy to follow along without needing to replay areas
Thank you so much I was about to give up on knitting until I saw this video! The way you explain, speed and angle is perfect! THANK YOU!! I wish there was a video like this to make a scarf with brioche stitch like this one. I think it's supposed to look the same pattern back and front.

I felt the same way. I managed to make some very basic scarves years ago by hand. Recently machine knitting has been taking over and I can do that just fine, but I could never figure out how to pwrl. I knew that it is the knit stitch in reverse (basically) but could never place my hands right. Now I can move on to all the cool stitches and move on from bulky scarves.
Your videos are by far the simplest and easiest I’ve seen. I have completely learnt to knit a simple and the purl stitch because of your videos! Thanks so much.
You’re so welcome! I’m glad I’m doing something right! 😄
After watching several videos tonight, it suddenly all clicked to me and I was able to do the purl stitch! Thank you for your helpful video! Glad I have this stitch down so now I can move on to combining it with the knit stitch to do the stockinette stitch 😊
Wonderful! Once you "get" the purl stitch, you can do so many other cool stitches!
Heya! Can you please do a tutorial on the Harry Styles jumper. I know a few youtubers have done tutorials but none them can compare to your level of quality when it comes to teaching us! Thankyuuu and kisses in advance! 😘
*Please like this comment so she will see* 💛💛💛
yes, please!!!!!!!!
I can't believe how perfect this tutorial was and how amazing some of your other ones are. I literally was crying because I couldn't seem to follow a different video that others said was the best thing they could find and then I found this video and was so relieved to have someone that truly is a great teacher and wants to help others thank you so much
Thank you! I am finally ready for the purl stitch after 20 years lol. I honestly just stop but it’s actually fun doing this again. When I was a kid we only learn the basic but we were suppose to learn the purl but they closed our club afterschool then life happen and here I am back at it again. lol
Omg thank you! I really want to start knitting, I saw a video of someone showing how to do this and I could not pick it up at all!! Literally within watching you do the first stitch i knew exactly how to do it!!!!
Thanks to you you helped me find my new career! Now I love knitting! My grandmother knits too!
So does mine! She doesn't knit as much anymore though. Nice to meet you. :-)
Thank you for showing us so clearly the two basic stiches, the knit and purl. You are a great gifted Teacher. Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge .
I'm completely new to knitting and I bought a kit for a beanie with the Experience level supposedly at Beginner. It says to make a slip knot, cast on some stitches, and Knit 2 Stitch and Purl 2 Stitch. I had zero idea what any of that meant and these videos are helping me so much. Thank you!
I have only been knitting for the last couple of months just starting with the basic stitches but after watching your vid, I managed to do a few purl stitches. I definitely need to practice this stitch more though. Thank you for sharing, clear and concise instructions 🧶
My Great Nan with whom I share a name was an amazing knitter I am told, so I want to learn to see if any of her skill has passed down to me. I am, however, a complete beginner and this is by far the best youtube channel for me. I really appreciate the slowed down step by tiny step approach as well as the animations and other visuals, it's incredibly helpful. Thank you for dumbing it down without making me feel dumb😂. I will be revisting many times when I eventually begin a proper project.
I do crochet for years and this is the first time i see that knitting isn't as hard as i thought. Thank you
I learned "purl" from Words With Friends, so entering "purl" brought me here. I have never knitted in my life, but it was cool to watch and to learn all the different knitting techniques.
You do a great job teaching! I am a beginner knitter and watched several teaching videos to learn basic knitting and stopped at yours! Like someone else said it here, you take your time and do a great job showing slowly how to knit! Thank you! I am working on my first scarf thanks to one of your other videos! Can't wait to learn more!
Im a happy crocheter of 23 years and thought knitting was difficult only to find Youre amazing tutorials! I'm looking forward to knitting my first hat without using the sentro or loom but needles
i love how clear and concise you are and that you repeat the same things to make everything clear and make for good repitition of the correct technique i should be using when working on a piece!
Ive been watjbhing your videos for the pjst couple of months and you have been a massive help! Thanks so much x
Thank you so much! Ive been trying to bond with my grandma more through knitting but i couldnt seem to grasp this stitch from her. I didnt want to break her little heart so i said id keep working on it at home. This video was perfect!
This is the first tutorial I've seen that explains the purl stitch this well, thank you so much 😭❤️
I am the definition of a total beginner and your videos are the only thing that is keeping me going, thank you so much!!!
You are a GEM!!! I have watched different videos and they always lost me. They did not take the time you have done. I have to make a new blanket for my granddaughter. Believe it or not I only knew how to cast on and knit stitch. Never knew you were supposed to knit then purl Yep I made 7 blankets for grandchildren only using the knit stitch. I also used to donate 4 inch squares which I volunteered to do. Yea me. Been doing it wrong for 11 years! Oh well they worked. But I wanted to do something different. You ought to see the yarn I have in the floor next to me trying to learn this stitch!
Your videos have been the easiest and most helpful to follow along with on my knitting journey, thank you
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching! 🤗
As if I didn't have enough hobbies already, I learned to knit a few days ago. I'm knitting chunky potholders I saw being sold everywhere. In lieu of 6mm rope, I'm using two strands of 3mm cotton macrame rope. It was my understanding that I'm doing a "knit stitch" but my stitch pattern looks like the stitch pattern example you showed at 07:00 in your video. My stitches look like that on BOTH SIDES. I'm a crocheter so I have no clue about knitting stitches but my potholder is coming along beautifully. The downside is that I want to learn more stitches! Great video.👍 Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
I love how you have enough patience to keep repeating the same action over again so that people can actually understand. Thank you so much for this, extremely helpful :) love
😳. 😳. I can’t believe how easy you made that. I can’t believe that you took something I have been struggling with forever and passed the skill on in a few min! Thank you so much!
Love your step by step guide for beginners like myself! Thanks for sharing! I’ve even got my 11yr old daughter following your tutorials.
Yay! I am so glad I found you. I gave up knitting in frustration many many years ago. Pearl was especially frustrating then and when I decided to try again, yep, still troublesome. Then I found your videos and I did a whole row correctly for the first time ever! Thank you so much! I kept looking at shawl patterns sadly but now I have hope!
Anyone else just trying to learn how to knit and thinking “How did people learn to do this?” Like at some point, some human picked up two needles or sticks or something, they put string or yarn or whatever on there in different ways and somehow figured out a way to perfectly weave it into things…. HOW? How did someone learn to do this?!
Yes!
Trial and error. I’m sure at some point they stopped using literal sticks. Maybe they already knew how to weave using plants and went, “hey, how about we invent a more versatile form of weaving? Like, we can make different things with the same method?”
I wonder whether they started using their fingers, then moved onto bone @@Xunaru-64
Omg I asked my mom this today!!
Lots and lots of trial and error, I imagine. We needed clothing, and we slowly learned what worked. Some things worked better than others, and those are what got passed on and taught. You do have to assume the ones who came up with it to begin with are the types who’d be engineers today, though. That required some abstract constructive thinking to an extent not everybody is capable of.
Seriously, BLESS YOU. Your teaching style with repetition is so fantastic. Thank you ❤️
I've been trying to learn how to knit with many videos. Yours has been the easiest to learn from, thank you for narrating each step and repeating it 10 times! This is a video I can knit alongside :)
I’m currently teaching myself to knit and I cannot express how helpful this was for learning the purl. I’ve been battling it for some unknown brain block reason and this is definitely the cleanest, clearest tutorial yet! Thank you so much!
You’re so welcome! Glad to demystify the purl stitch for you!
I have been wanting to knit for years, I finally got myself a little how-to booklet and your tutorials have helped so much!! The booklet I have makes it so much harder than it needs to be 😅.
I am so happy I found your tutorials. I just started knitting again; you helped me pick it up like I never stopped. Thank you thank you!
THANK YOU! I have watched 5 different videos and still couldn't understand purling and you have made it incredibly simple and easy to understand. I will definitely stick to your tutorials from now on.
As a beginner in knitting, you are my favorite! Your tutorials are amazing, you make it clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
You’re so welcome! Thanks for your kind words, made my day! 🤗
Thank you so much. I have watched like 5 videos and haven’t been able to get it, but you explained it so well and now I got it!
Davina is back!!!! Yay!! Your videos are so helpful and inspiring. I’m working through them and your projects. Hopefully more from you to come!
Haha I am! Thanks! I always love the warm welcome back 😊 and glad to hear you’re having fun knitting!
I feel blessed that I found your channel. I can make my very first purl stitch. Please make more videos like this! Thanks for the tutorial.
That tip about what to do with the tail around 1:40 would’ve been useful for your knit stitch video. I didn’t know what to do with it for a while until I just watched the video over and saw what you did.
It’s not a big deal. I’m glad you mentioned it in this video.
Thank you so much! I learnt how to knit in a single day because of your videos. Now I receive requests from friends to make them things. Thank you ❤️
These tutorials are sooo helpful! I’m a beginner(but already love knitting!)and it’s so helpful to see a stitch done slowly but also multiple times. Thank you so much for these videos!!
Excellent explanation! I like how you not only teach the steps to be followed but also think about what’s happening in every step.
Best knitting tutorial channel ever! Not only are the videos funny but the rythme is perfect, explanations clear and demos to the point! So happy I found you guys. I can now take my knitting skills to the next level !
The easiest stitch I've done. THANK YOU ❤🎉
i’ve been trying to learn to knit for over five years and given up so many times because i didn’t understand the purl stitch. with this video i got it on my third try. marvelous tutorial thank you 😊
So glad it helped!
@@sheepandstitch ...hello Davina!...i just posted a comments but i cant see it...just saw the purl stich video but got confused on what is the point about knit stich...i love your videos !...i learnt how to knit stiches and made my 2 first scarfs...not perfect, but ok...but got lost about the purl stich 🤔...I learnt on this video how to do it..pls let me know...thx !
After finishing 12 rows of yoke stitching someone told me I had twisted stitches. Turns out I had learned how to purl wrong this whole time. Thank you for this video!!
Thank you so much for this. you've made purling so easy for me. i've been confused with the purl stitch for over 2 weeks and im so glad to finally purl!
omg i’ve been garter stitching for a month now and i thought purl stitching would be difficult 😂 glad to see it’s so easy! thanks for the video tutorial, i’m going to make my cousin a baby blanket!
I am so glad I found you! I could never get the hang of the purl stitch. Now, thanks to you I'm enjoying knitting. I just knitted the stockinette stitch.
Awesome! So glad to hear you’re purling away now! It’s such a useful stitch
Thank you so much for this video. I have wanted to learn to knit for years. Your video is the first one that did not cause me to have a panic attack! I am definite subscriber
this video is so helpful ^^ i like how you speak slowly and clearly when demonstrating, it makes it very easy to follow along without needing to replay areas
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🤗
I’m good with purl stitches but still watched this cos I love your presentation style!
Awww thank you so much! What a compliment! 🤗
Gowri Chocckalingam you have five! Yay!
(also yay for sheep and stitch and i subbed to the channel)
I'm suffering from a spinal injury and I'm learning to knit, but the purl has eluded me until this video. Thank you!
Glad you’re getting the hang of the purl. Hope you get well soon 💐
i'm a first time knitter and your videos are SO clear and concise! It was so easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you so much I was about to give up on knitting until I saw this video! The way you explain, speed and angle is perfect! THANK YOU!! I wish there was a video like this to make a scarf with brioche stitch like this one. I think it's supposed to look the same pattern back and front.
Very helpful, thank you!!! I kept putting the working yarn in the back and was wondering why I couldn’t do it, this helped tremendously!!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen. Short, concise, and to the point. Great explanation
