I have crocheted for over 48 years and I never learned how to knit. After watching your video's I am going to go out and buy some knitting needles and give this a try. You have done an amazing job showing me how to do the stitches. Thank you for the inspiration.
I have been crocheting for 20 years and finally got up the courage to learn to knit using your videos. You are an amazing teacher! I am indeed purling away! I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you so much!
I have been crocheting for two years and tried to knit many times but gave up, believing I could not do it. You make it so easy! Thank you for these videos!!
Wow, after years of wishing I could knit and being terrified to start as I thought it was waaaay to difficult I've finally got the knack of it and feel confident to start making! These videos are brilliant! Wish I could find crochet video as helpful as this!!!
I watch my Late Nana - Late Mama & Late Aunties knitting when I was a kid and till now I treasure those sweaters knitted by them..I never give away I find it has hands of art and kindness love is all knitted for me.. so I started finding how to knit and I got 5 wools and 2 pairs of needles I started - 😂I drop the needle don’t know what to do next? So I rewind and start again..and finally I started with PURL its fun… I am a guy found it peaceful and concentration to my lonely heart and mind especially I am depressed and there’s nobody I can turn to..? Accept keep praying and start knitting ❤
I learned to knit a few years ago but I felt more comfortable crocheting, now i finally wanna go back to knitting but first I just wanna make sure I understood the basics and how to combine stitches, this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!!✨
I'm brand new to the purl and more experienced with the knit, and after a few awful attempts I was like, "Ehhhh, do I even need to purl? This sux." And then this video introduced me to the seed stitch! It's made purl practice less of a chore now that I know it'll lead to something very pretty. 😊
Ryan, just love your videos, I now can knit and am learning to purl. My mom bought me a book on how to knit but I have realized that I am more of a visual learner. You made it all so easy, thank you!
I love 😍 your videos cos it starts from the beginning, shows us what is Knitting, then shows the stitches. Fantastic job! Finally understood Knitting and how it is done. Thank you
You are really easy to watch, and learn from. It is definitely a pleasure learning from you. I am over 50 yrs and my mum tried teaching me years ago, as a kid - learning from TH-cam is way easier for me. Thank you so much
thank you for this @Ryan! your videos are calming and soothing to listen to and because most of the time i search for tutorials, I'm fed up and just want someone who explains things clearly and in the right pace, your videos do just that.
My mom taught me knitting when I was younger and had totally forgotten everything. Thank you, I enjoyed watching and hopefully can put it all to use. I’ve watched other videos, but yours is the best by far.
You made it a little more clear to me. I've been watching a lot of videos and find it all pretty confusing. You clarified things a bit. I subscribed. Thank you.
Funny watching you and many other guys knitting so I said let me give a try brought some wools and 2 pairs of needle and I started.I dropped my needle and all opened so I restarted and I am on the go… its fun I enjoy it - Thanks for your lessons…I find it helps me when I am depressed & lonely
My mother & I are teaching ourselves to knit. Unfortunately we live 3hrs apart. We’ve both been watching random videos of teaching techniques etc..& I happen to come across your videos. So glad I did…I’ve literally shared every video you have w/ her. She’s like…”why couldn’t I have found him 1st?” It actually all makes sense now!!! Thank you so much …please continue to share your expertise videos. They are so helpful in our journey of learning to 🧶!!!
Your videos are great. I am going back to knitting after many, many years of no knitting. This is wonderful for both a review and learning a new stitch. Looking forward to my next video.
Thank you for these tutorials! They're patient and step by step and easy to follow! I've been crocheting for a bit and picked up a pair of knitting needles from a secondhand craft shop and decided to give it a shot. Still trying to get the hang of the speed knitting but i'll get there :)
Just started learning how to knit and watched this video as motivation. Very well done and mesmerizing to watch the speed knitting. Life goals. :) Thank you for creating such great videos that make it easy to understand and for including pointers. By far the best learning to knit for beginners videos I have seen.
Dang, this is ten times easier than I thought it would be thanks to your videos--I learned to crochet first, but was unsatisfied because I really want to make a sweater someday!
Thank you so much for this video. I finally understand how to knit and purl. I also like the seed stitch and of course will be practicing it when I get home tonight.
Awesome videos!! Thanks for making them! I have only knit a few things and that was years ago. My husband really wants a hooded cowl scarf (way over my knitting capabilities as of right now), so I wanted to get back into it. I have learned so much from your videos!
I watched your videos for knitting and purling, and I wanted to know how to combine them but this is too hard for me to understand with the speed knitting added in. I have found your videos the most helpful and would love for you to do one without the speed knitting.
I totally agree. He's usually so good at explaining and showing us but then he straight away speed knitted and I cannot understand how to move the thread over to go from knit to purl! I tried and it did not work
@@AriRHen if you don't know how to do purl, just go to the video where he shows how to do purl stitch. I don't do speed knitting either but I get used to moving the yarn back and forth over the needle to alternate stitches as in when doing something like seed stitch or rib stitch. It can cause muscle strain but I just take breaks when I get that feeling! Purl is simply bringing the yarn to the front of the right needle, then putting the right needle DOWN the stitch instead of up like when you do the knit stitch, then wrapping the yarn in much the same way as you do with knit stitch and instinctively pulling that new loop through. Hope this helps.

I bought a Boye learn how to knit kit but the book was hard to follow. I found your video and now I know what I’m doing. I’m going to watch the speed knitting video now. Thank you so much.
You’re soo talented and calm! I really appreciate you! You also seem very patient. ☺️ I pride myself on learning how to knit 🧶 for the very first time, using your beginner video. Although I was really extra and you told us how many knots to make well first of all, I couldn’t decide between which yarn so I ended up using two at one time on top of that I ended up making like 40 kn on one stick and you know that was way too much LOL I had a lot of challenges with that but it turned out very pretty but the only problem is that when I put it down I might pick it up the next day and the the needles have moved and then some of the thread/yarn comes off and now I have a bunch of messed up spaces. Maybe if I show you a photo of what I have done, maybe you can tell me how to salvage it, give me some pointers or tell me just to throw the whole thing away 😆
Maybe you have different way to hold and do knitting but thanks to you , i've learned a new stitch today "seed stitch" 😍❤️ And it's very cool thanks again ☺️☺️
Great video! I'm learning so much from your channel! I would also love to see a video showing the garter stitches for the edges if you haven't made one already.
I wonder if you could do a slowed down version of alternating between the knit and purl stitches... I'm not sure what I did wrong but the top of the yarn (attached to the needle) ended up becoming horribly criss-crossed instead of being uniformed, neat and straight like yours.. and I don't understand what is going on 😅
Watched it again and see a lot more, now that I'm getting better at it. I made a few wash cloths but wanted to practice purling so am trying to do the seed stitch.... All I can do is laugh at how confused I get. Especially if I've made a little mistake. I'll get it. Just have to laugh.
Hi Rj, Great videos, thanks for the detail in this video. I ran away from knitting years ago when all I could make was a large blob of the row after row of knitting with tonnes of holes in it. After spending a few years in crochet, I thought I'd come back and try knitting. Your videos are really helpful. I did have one question about when you combine the knit and purl stitch to create the ribbed fabric. After doing a knit stitch, when you are switching to the purl (when it's on the same row), are you just moving the yarn from the back to the front, moving between the needles? I can sort of see what you're doing in the video, but since you're speed knitting and your hands are fairly close together, it's hard to see for sure. From what I can tell you're wrapping the needle with the yarn before you go in for the purl stitch. And in doing this, will it create an extra loop on the needle or no?
Very well explained 👍Can you upload video on men’s vest with simple kneet and pearl switch ? I want to make it for my husband who’s birthday is in January .Thank you 😊
I am trying out the speed purl method that you demonstrated. I have always knitted in using the continental method, but have always found the purl stitch awkward. I would like to see how to do a "yo, p1" using the speed purl method.
How do we start a seed stich? If say we want to make the entire project that way. Is it possible to do that? Thank you for your awesome videos!! You are my teacher.
every time i try to combine the knit and purl stitch something goes wrong, i cant seem to do it without making knots or tangles or somehow the stiches on my needles arent actually stitches, i was hoping youd show how to transistion between the two instead of just the common patterns with them, do you have a video that shows how to go between the two stiches?

I picked up a knitting needle for the first time ever yesterday. Your video was the first I chose to view. I'm glad I did!

Brilliant teacher - really clear, patient and encouraging!
Your videos are great! I made a scarf just by watching the basic knit, purl, and how to combine them videos. The sky is the limit.
You can try knitting a 'Tower of Babel'!! 😆
i couldn't understand knitting until i saw your videos !! you are the best knitting teacher :) thanks a lot.

I already tried that

Очень просто и красиво! Удачи на канале!

Great tutorial!!!!
Finally, I GET it!!! Thank You!
I wish you'd slow down to see you how you transfer your yarn between knit and purl.
How do you transfer the yarn between knit and purl?
You're a sweetheart . Thanks for your help. Where did you learn and get your passion for knitting? Thanks
