    This addendum makes more sense how you start with 4 stitches from the end to the beginning. Your other video didn't demo that. I've seen other knitters demonstrate the magic loop trick by moving over 1 to 2 stitches over to the beginning of the round using magic loop or dpn. I'll try your method in the future when I knit again. Thanks.

    I know I've said this before however this brilliant technique deserves to be celebrated again and again! Fabulous tips for anyone keen to give this a go and avoid the potential stress of ladders in their beautiful work. Many thanks again Frank, I have been very happily working with this for years with many different types of patterns, it works! Thank you thank you 🧶👍

    I wanted to learn the magic loop and by happenstance. I stumbled upon the improved technique and then linked me to the addendum. I cannot tell you how amazing this is to have learned this for the first time and to learn it correctly without having these ladders, and now I am knitting fire pit mitts by Tayler Earl and they are gorgeous without these ladders! Thank you so much for the excellent wisdom and technique! ❤

    This helped a lot, I watched several videos on how to avoid laddering and many of them have conflicting advice, thanks!

    I love this method. I was also frustrated by tension when I tried magic loop the first time. I also always use a stitch marker to show the beginning of the round. Thanks for the videos!

    I have to knit flat for a couple of rows to avoid twisting the stitches. I have a hard time telling if the stitches are not twisted when I get to the second half of that first row.

    • @KnittingbyPhrancko
      @KnittingbyPhrancko  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a problem I have not encountered. I agree it can be difficult when you start with a large number of cast-on stitches to be joined in the round. Is that what you are referring to?

      @@KnittingbyPhrancko Yes that is what I was referring to. I have that problem even with only 60 cast on stitches.

      I'm afraid I don't have any tips on how to make that any easier. It's just a problem that takes some careful observation and manipulation. The cast on edge must not twist around the needles or the cable. Carefully make sure it is at the bottom from needle tip to needle tip as you place your beginning-of-round marker and knit the first cast-on stitch. That's all I can suggest.

    Does this method also work with knitting with 4 or 5 pointless needles? I cannot get used to knit with a circular needle.

    • @KnittingbyPhrancko
      @KnittingbyPhrancko  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The method relies on the flexibility of the cable where it attaches to the hard needle. Without that flexibility I don't see a way to use this technique. If you find a way, please us all know.

    • @annezwier9616
      @annezwier9616 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I probably did not express myself correctly. I am knitting with 4 straight pointless needles (like one used these in the "old days". Can I then also put the 4 last knitted stitches on the next needle to avoid ladders?@@KnittingbyPhrancko

    • @KnittingbyPhrancko
      @KnittingbyPhrancko  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      "Pointless needles"? I am not sure what that is. Just give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

    Can you use this magic loop technique with colorwork?

    • @KnittingbyPhrancko
      @KnittingbyPhrancko  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. If you are doing stranded colorwork, then instead of moving 4 stitches every time, move more than past the previous color change so the strand gets sized correctly.
