Thanks Mikey I used to knit all the time made lots of cardigans .but.then I started crocheting.i find it easier on my shoulders to crochet.but it's nice to knit too.hope your ok after the hurricane.🌻🌻
Nice video. I could actually see what you were doing! I wish you had been around when I was learning to knit. A lot of the videos I watched they had their hands too far away from the camera, or the yarn was the same color as the background, stuff like that. I had my mind in the gutter when you were making the comments.
I think that it stops the yarn your looping round from sliding off. I'm having that issue with the continental knitting technique and watching this has stopped it..
I think it's a "to each their own" type a thing. For me, I quit trying to knit several times because I couldn't get it. It was frustrating because as a crocheter, I understood what I was seeing but I couldn't make my hands do what I was seeing. When I found left handed knitting, I got it. Now I can do both. I'm better at whatever technique I've been using most and therefore intentionally switch it up. I think people who are new to knitting should try both styles to see if they have a preference. My favorite is left handed.
I find it easier and faster to knit with the yarn in my right and purl with it in my left. Each person is different, there's so many different ways to knit. I also prefer to rib russian style as it's much neater. Lots of options to try! Xx
I am mainly a crocheter, I taught myself to knit 16 years ago, for most people who mainly crochet, they find continental knitting easier as you hold the yarn in your left hand as in crocheting. It can actually be much easier and faster, I am a combo knitter LOL, depending on what I am making I do it the way Mikey shows and I also do continental, purls either way are a bit slower.
you called that the kitt stitch and in my head i said no that's the pearl stitch then i second guessed myself and said its been 20 years girl you're wrong he knows what's what you don't anymore then you said it is the oeral stitch lol

Awesome thank you 🌻👍🏾
Great refresher course for all of us who have been crocheting. Can't wait to start up my knitting again.☺️
Great explanation as always mikey if I couldn’t knit already I know I would be able to learn from your videos thank you 👏Amanda xx💖💕
Maybe if I watch you knit enough times I will get brave and try again🤣
Watching you knit makes me want to start a knit project 🧶❤️( I mainly crochet but knit a little bit) Thank you for a relaxing tutorial 💕

I love how you call knitting videos the knit crowd haha
Mikey, why don’t you hold the yarn in your left hand like when you crochet? It’s much more efficient.
Not necessarily

I’m ready for another crochet CAL. knitting isn’t my jam. ☺️
Neat 😊❤
Thank you! I am a terrible knitter, my tension is ... ARGH!
I am slowly learning I can do the knit stich but the purl stich is much harder for me when I try to knit and purl I get lost thank you for sharing

I never realized I was counterbalancing all these years!
There is a much faster way to knit both for knit and pearl stitches. It’s called the Continental aka German method.
I use that system. It's similar to holding my yarn for crocheting. It's faster than "throwing" the yarn as shown in this video
When I tried knitting my left index finger became sore due to pushing the needle over and over.
Ha ha The Knit Crowd. Can't wait til you show Continental Knitting which I pefer. Easier for Athritic Hands

“Purl” stitch.
He’s knitting not purling.
