Very interesting thanks for the demo. I’ll try this.
This method works wonderfully for me! It's faster than throwing and it's a LOT easier, ergonomically, on my shoulders and hands. The yarn is easier to control, too. I love it!
Even though I am a hairdresser and use all of my fingers very well, and am fairly ambidextrous, I would rather throw the ball of yarn back in a bin than throw a yarn strand over a needle. For one thing, I get dyslexic trying to figure out where the yarn needs to be thrown, and which way the sticks need to be crossed. The "two thing", is that with me being a practical and pragmatic person, my brain itself abso-frickin'-lutely and indomitably refuses to do a halting, stop-start motion that ya can never get fast at, soon enough to satisfy my urgent need to want to learn to knit! Lol. Maybe I will try Carrie Craftgeek lever knitting th-cam.com/video/-d_t2l-iois/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-lqIFfOq11B7TJHx it seems to be pretty darn smooth and pretty darn quick. But correct now I am whipping along pretty darn fast with simple knits and purls. Yay for Yarn has a good how to knit faster video I saw a long time ago that impressed me but she was comparing things that I had no clue because I had not even begun to knit yet because I was confused by the many different ways to cast on and they don't even tell you what kind of cast on it is because they don't even know. Every time I looked up a cast-on video to learn how to do it, it was different, and I thought I was going nuts and my memory was leaving me!
I am an impatient learner. If I want to do something, I jump in, sink or swim, do or die, determined to make it to the other shore. Don't tell me anything. Quit palaverin' and show me. Lemme get my fingers in it. I am very "monkey see, monkey do". But if I don't see another monkey doin' it, l'll figger it out m'self!
After watching about a gazillion knitting vids - not any how to/beginner ones, no - and saving a billion wonderfully beautiful and textured but yet ever so easy to do knitting projects, mostly by Turkish, Russian, some Arabic and other Middle Eastern, ladies going strictly by the tone of skin, or the fact that there is actually Russian, Turkish or Arabic in the title and some with no English whatsoever much less subtitles or even accurate subtitles ( one Turkish video told me to make a three o'clock in the road with tires ), They seem to all be Continental style knitters except for one peculiar way that I have seen is also done by Portuguese, so the limited amount of those that I have seen, have at least learned it by a Portuguese person who intermarried on a trading route or something in distant history...
Oh, Boy! did I go and lead you through a rabbit warren or what? Sorrrry....
I have watched, Surely, more than 100,000 knitting videos and very few have been ones that string the yarn around their neck and place the yarn where it needs to go with their thumbs, a rare few have held a very long stick in a holster belt or under their arm and did the English throwing method in what they called lever knitting. This guy is not lever knitting. He is merely showing the advantage of knitting with the sense God gave a goose, in how to hold your needles to get your yarn where it needs to be, and make your stitches nice and neat, and as even as humanly possible. Rarer still is one video where I saw a lady knitting knit stitches on the back side of her needles and doing her pearls on the front stick in her needle in very directly into the right-hand side and drawing the yarn back through in a very simple direct manner. This one I saw on the day that I had decided "what is all of this rigmarole and twisting about when you could just put the yarn where you want it to be and drag it through?", and did so. I must have seen a video like it or even this video. I know better now, than to think that when I thought I had invented a new crochet stitch, that there is probably nothing new under the sun where it concerns any fiber art, So I will just say that I don't know what this type of knitting is called but it is similar to videos I have only recently began to watch about more specific things in knitting such as "how to purl ...Continental... English... Russian..." , or the easiest way to purl, how to knit faster, speed knitting, just every kind to see if I could learn some sort of trick or two that the pros have that was take me forever to learn because I don't speak "Knittinese"! Did you know that there is a proper and specific way to cast on for nearly every pattern design you'll ever want to do? There is even a knitted picot cast on! It took me years of watching knitting videos to even find that out or for it to even come up in my queue!
Oh gosh how I have run on! The Bible does say, that "from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks forth". Well, I am just very excited about learning how to knit, because these ladies who either don't have any speaking at all in their demonstrative videos, or are speaking another language that can simply be turned down, are very very good at showing every step at good close range without their fingers in the way, They do a step very slowly and when something is important they will point it out with their finger or with other hand gestures to point out that you want to watch it at this step and they will even demonstrate "do this, don't do that" by pointing or with a waggle of a finger... it is just awesome I have learned more by not hearing anything then I have learned from the English speakers who talk a lot and sometimes who talk a lot about stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the knitting that they're showing us which is distracting and even confusing, or in the tutorial they are speaking of something that we as beginners have never seen and do not understand the comparison of and that is very defeating and I turn them off.
This style of knitting that I do may be put together of the many ways that I have seen and it changes the orientation of which leg is forward on the knitting needle from right forward to left forward with each pass/row. But unlike combination knitting you do not have to change the way you enter the stitch to make the back side of the stitch according to the Eastern or Western orientation. Did you know that besides all of the other types of knitting there is Eastern and Western as well? I have only recently which is really cool because I figured out this way of knitting and then I found a one in a million video that shows what I do and it is like their Russian grandma does! Is there something called Russian knitting I've seen some Russians knitting but it's not like that grandma. Should I call it Russian grandma knitting?
Now, are you hearing that song in your head, that goes " ...ain't nuthin' gonna break-a my stride. Nobody's gonna slow me do-owwn, oh no! I got ta keep on movin'..."? I am. Have a listen... th-cam.com/video/F8pL7a0Qzjs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bb5U0KzHOlN3Aix8 g , by the way, the girl mentioned in the song would be any other way of knitting than the way I have discovered for now. I will build my skills as time goes on.
Amazing! Thank you!!!
I came across your video while I was revisiting lever knitting technique. I had given up circ lever because having to keep knitting over the right thumb ended up hurting the said thumb. Your method might well be the answer to my problem. Thank you so much! I hope you are still active here, as I'd love to learn your technique more.
Thank you for this very helpful video. I am in the midst of changing my knitting style.
Thank you for this video. I switched to knitting this way when I developed trndin problems in my right hand. This method reduces rotation of the right wrist and thumb. The 90° angle of the needles and the lever technique on the purls are key.
This is very comfortable for me. Thank you!!😊
Excellent video - lovely clear instructions; thank you 😊
This is continental knitting. What makes it "lever"?
Very helpful!
Robbie, honey, do you need glasses? That label reads " LI'L DOLLOP". . . But the yarn company put the apostrophe in the wrong place. L - I - apostrophe -L is short for "little". A contraction, just like "we're, isn't, I'd've ( I would have, a double contraction - I've even made some triples )". See, when you leave off a couple of letters in a word, you put in an apostrophe in to replace 'em, showin' that they're not goin' ta be pronounced [see whut I did thər, writin' it the way it was pernounced]? It is a way that has developed in writing to indicate dialectical or colloquial ways of speech more phonetically. A "lotta" people have never seen this written down, so it's a li'l confusing, especially when they put the apostrophe in the wrong place - on a label no less - of a brand name!
"Dollop (dol'•ləp)" is a word of chiefly British origin, So, you know it has been around for ages - AND it is also another word many people just have never seen written down. It's pronounced like "doll up".
Have you ever seen that commercial for Daisy sour cream, and they sing " ...do, do a dollop, do a dollop of Daisy!"? A "dollop" means an indiscriminate, or unmeasured large glob or amount of a soft food, or even a granular substance, like sugar, that is served up, such as a big ol' plop of sour cream on top of a baked potato, or on top of your chili - if you've never tried it, don't knock it - ooh, now I want chili on a big baked potato with a " LI'L DOLLOP " of Daisy on top! Forget the yarn an' knittin' fer awhile, let's put the feed bag on!
TERRIBLE VIDEO QUALITY!!!! :p
TERRIBLE COMMENT QUALITY!!!
