Thank you so much! I now like purling! Your technique is so much easier on my hands.
Happy to help! I tend to do a lot of purling in my patterns!
I used to be a thrower but now use the Portuguese method and I love it!
SO glad to hear that, Margie!!!
I'm a Continental for 50 years and I love this style-- so much easier on my right hand/thumb!!!
So glad to hear that ! I have heard this testimonial many times, but it makes me so glad when I hear it again!
Absolutely a life saver for a new self taught knitter. Thank you so much ❤️
Most welcome! Let me know if you have suggestions! 😊
Hi Andrea, thank you for this extremely clear tutorial on Portuguese knitting. The purl style is going to be a game changer for me! Just shared this with my knitting bestie, and we are both very excited. Best wishes to you from Australia 😁🧶😁🧶😁
Most welcome! I hope to visit your country one day!!!
Portuguese knitting is the least tiring and neat way to knit, the tension of the yarn is always the same because your pin or neck tension is constant so this gives someone a consistent shape of the stitches. Before I realized from time to time why some rows looked different bigger or irregular to my eye, after switching to portuguese style, all the rows are uniformly same and no wrist pain or right thumb numbness. I learnt knitting from TH-cam videos. Unfortunately almost all videos show how to start knitting with English or continental way, I was looking for an easy method to purl, I thought to myself there should be more than this then came across to your channel. People like and comment more to this video for people to see it on top when someone just starting to knit.
Thank you so much for your accurate testimonial!
When I use to teach in a yarn shop, years ago, my students were thrilled that the stitches were so even!
Little by little the word about Portuguese Knitting is getting out there, but still surprises me how many people have not heard of it and start learning this way. Again, I appreciate so much your help!
Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I am just learning to knit and I have watched some very good and clear instructions but it was either continental or english style. Right away the continental style was preferred over english but I was having such difficulty with tension and my index finger was starting to feel sore and it just felt a bit strange. Then I saw a video demonstrating this Portuguese style and was intrigued. I have found your video to be the most clear and straight forward and this style actually feels natural to me even though I’m just learning. I am looking forward to going through your other videos.
Thank you so much! I am glad I could clearly show you the basics. Yes, I will have more videos coming and if you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know.
I've always struggled with uneven stitches due to poor tension. I was taught the throwing method. Continental knitting helped. The Portuguese style of knitting though has been a huge game change for me, especially for my ribbing. With ribbing before the second knit stitch left leg was distorted, I tried knitting the first purl stitch a little tighter to close any gap and generally knitting tighter. It was so exhausting. My purl row was always a bit loose. When shifting or sliding stitches tension was lost and every now and then along a row there was the odd large stitch or two. Now my 2x2 rib is cleaner, neater and I can feel proud of it, hence for the first time I'm knitting with confidence. My advice is try different knitting styles until you find the one that suits you. Thank you for these tutorials.
I agree Avril! Thank you so much for your comment! Trying different styles is key as we are all very unique people. So glad Portuguese was helpful to you!☺️☺️☺️😉
I bet this will help me do 1-to-1 ribbing more smoothly. Thank you.
You bet! A lot of knitters get yarn over between stitches because they don't position the yarn at the right place before making the stitches...
Yes!
Thank you this was perfect refresher after being away from knitting a few years.
Glad it was helpful!
The different knitting styles are really interesting. I love these kind of knitting videos getting to know the different styles. I have been knitting for over 60 years and I'd rather stick to the continental way though. To me the Portuguese way looks just as awkward as the English "throw over" method.
That's totally fine. You are open minded to check other styles and at least learn something about them. If Continental works for you, that's wonderful! Keep knitting!

Thank you!
Have used Portuguese knitting for corner to corner baby blankets and sweater.
Good projects! Keep up the good work!
I sure would like to see a video on your knitting a sock on your crochet hooks you sell. I bought some but I bet more people would buy them if you did videos using them. Thx.
Great idea!
I have a video that demonstrate the use of hooked needles already in the channel. Tell me if you think it is not helpful. Thank you!
Muchas gracias por su vídeo.Desde que he descubierto el tejido en estilo portugués, lo adoro. Me encantan sus vídeos.
De nada! Keep in touch!

Any English? I cannot understand...
Greetings! Do you have any KAL planned for the future?
No, I don't really have done any KAL. I am sorry. Is there any project you need help with?
@@AndreaWongKnits No...I'm good! Was just asking. Thank you.
