This video is over 3 years old. I recorded a new version. Better recording quality, better audio, more tips, and more beginner-friendly. Watch it here: th-cam.com/video/Pc1WqraEvag/w-d-xo.html
Sorry about that. I switched the micro and lens ever since I recorded this video. It was one of my first and I hardly new what I was doing (video-wise :p)
Hi Norman, I want to thank you for your clear and helpful explanations which give such pleasure to follow. My mother taught me to knit Continental style when I was 5 just after migrating to Australia and I absolutely loved knitting. Later on at 14 years of age at school (1967)..I was told by my teacher to “knit using English method only as it is the correct way otherwise you will fail the subject” . You can imagine how confusing it was not just for me but for my mother too who had never heard there was a right way…and wrong way to knit🤣🤣. The end result was….I now knit very slowly English method. Watching you knit Continental method seems more relaxing and flowing. I feel confident to try relearning this way with the help of your wonderful videos.
I started knitting after stopping for more than 5 years ago. I've forgotten all the stitches that I've learnt previously, but thanks to your tutorial videos.... when I watched how you do it, my mind just went, "Ahhh! Of course that's how it's done!". Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful and educational videos on knitting. I liked and subscribed🥰👍
Thank you so much! I just took up knitting a few days ago and I have the garter stitch down, now I’m going to be practicing this stitch, again thank you so very much!!
you are very welcome. Havve you seen my beginner tutorial? th-cam.com/video/zLSaApeG-vY/w-d-xo.html the video you are commenting on right now is somewhat..well old and it was among the first I recorded where I knew a lot about knitting and little about youtube ^^
Thank you so much Norman. I so appreciate how generous you are with your knowledge. Been crocheting and dabbling in knitting only a few months and your channel and blog are so helpful! So kind of you!😘
@@NimbleNeedles hey Norman, is it possible that you help me with a problem? when i turn the work around i dont end up with what you do. it looks inverted. i am following the videos to knit and then purl but when it comes to the purl it doesnt end up right. i cant even start a row because there are 2 strings of yarn. the backside is in the front. i really dont know how to describe the issue properly but when you take the moment of you turning your work around but don't start just yet, the yarn connected to your index finger is going through a loop. your loop looks like an arch. down-up-down. when i flip my work i get a u-shape at this position. it really confuses me.
@@fenrisnihilus3675 to be quite honest I don't understand what you are trying to explain. All I can say is that you should try to watch maybe this video and I hope things get clearer: th-cam.com/video/zLSaApeG-vY/w-d-xo.html it sounds like you bring the working yarn around coming from the top and this will create a double stitch as you pull it down so it'S in back
@@NimbleNeedles i will look into it again with the vid you linked. i hope it helps. i expected that it's some issue that i cant put into words. but thank you for answering
This by far the best knitting instructional video I've watched. Stockinette could be complicated and you made it easy to understand. I loved it. ❤thank you!!!
your vids got me finally started because i wanna make small plush animals. so im just learning the basics now. it's actually kinda difficult at the beginning. the cadt on took me many attempts but that works ok now. i just noticed that you dont tighten the loops that much. this could explain why im having it harder. i need to try it less tight and see what happens. anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Norman! Thanks for your very helpful videos. Do you have any tips for making stockinette even - I get bumpy patches and the purl rows are sometimes a bit looser than knit rows! Thx 💚💐
hm...there's many things you can do but well... it's hard to pinpoint it to just one issue. Maybe slowly start watching my tips and tricks videos: th-cam.com/video/Bs26eqfodME/w-d-xo.html
Hi Norman! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us through these videos. I'm having a problem with stockinette stitch that i was hoping you could help me with. I find my knit stiches end up being super tight (even though my tensions is a little loose), and the purl stiches are slack and very easy to do. But everytime i get to the knit row, it's a struggle 😭 Do you have any idea what could be causing this, and how i can fix it? Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your description says for beginners so supposedly it is a tutorial but i cannot almost see where your needle goes, where your yarn gone through... So therefore i conclude you're not teaching for beginners instead you are just refreshing the memory of those experts to this field who happened to forget how to do it..
Hi Nimble Needles, i love your videos, thank you! I can say, as a beginner, it wouldnt help to slow the video down, the work is quite far away from the screen. I know thats hard to remember when you are as advanced as you are. Thanks a lot for what you do
Agreed. Definitely not beginner friendly, and neither is the other video, sadly😕. It's ok. I'm determined to learn this. If I can learn crochet and make 3 blankets in 2 months, I just know I will get this eventually! Good luck to any other beginners out there. I hope you stick to it until you master it😊❤❤❤
Hello Norman, I'm sure I watched how to avoid straight stripe looking stitch in stockinette where it should look like \/ and just |/ instead in your channel. It has something to do with tension but I can't find it. Can you tell me in which video it is or I'm just mistaken? Thanks in advance
Norman! Help! Here is the question. What am I missing? So, the pattern I just started shows below. Row 1(rs) - k4 M1L knit to last 4 sts, M1R, k4 Row 2(ws)- k4, M1R knit to last 4, M1L, p4 On Row2, after knitting 4sts, where I have to do M1R, the strand is doubled because what I did on the first row. It makes a little hole. Is this right to you? I am confused... The pattern does not mention anything about the double strands. Please help!
Do you use two needles when casting on stitches, then removing one needle, as the means to get stitches that aren’t too tight? I try my hardest to remember to relax a bit when casting on and knitting the first row, but somehow still get tight stitches. I am new to knitting, and find this to be an ongoing issue.
Hello Norman, i have a problem and i want to ask you about this. When i do stockinette stitch betwen every second row theres a visible gap like one was made with less tension. No matter if i strech or tens row with knit or purl the efect is the same. I have no such problem when i make anythink in round with only knit stich. Please respond to this comment and forgive me for my language.
@@NimbleNeedles mabey you want me to beg u for forgivnes or somethink xd . I did nothink to offend you on purpose yet you have to tell me how mych proud you have to lecture me for nothink but not teling me anythink usefull. Shame to see what a kid you are, i hope you could grown up in future ;)

Hi,Norman. I like your video,I learned how to knitt stockinette stitch in 10 minutes,thank you. What kind of yarn do you use in these learning videos? Really nice colour and consistency.
It's the Schachemayr Catania Grande. It looks nice on video but not sure if it's the best beginner yarn. It will show every tiny little mistake very well *grin*
hello, i am trying to relearn knitting and watching your videos is soo helpful, but i just cant help to get distracted with that little tapping noise xD, can u please tell me what it is
I hope you found this new video where I go through everything step by step: th-cam.com/video/zLSaApeG-vY/w-d-xo.html as for this video..this was one of my earliest videos where I knew literally nothing about videography, youtube or whatever. The tapping noise is my macro lens focusing. It's a constant uphill battle I am fighting. I can solve the problem by recording the audo separately...but that's a) very time consuming and b) often weirdly out of synch. I just bought a new lens and a new mic and see if I can fix it. but in the newer videos i always edit it out. But sometimes it's also the needles hitting the table, etc.
Ive been having trouble, how does your leading leg not change from back to front when fliping and starting a new row? I knit ambidextrous, so my leading leg doesnt change, and its all done with knits.
@NimbleNeedles because lets say when finished with a row, the leading leg of the new row resting on the new needle before flipping is a mirror version (but nonsuperimposedable) as it was when working it. Or am I wrong?
@@charmagne2102 I don't think you understand chirality..or are overthinking it. You never knit these stitches in the next row. So their legs never even matter.
Question, I know when you work on the flat you follow this, but someone told me when you work in a circle is different. Can you please tell me how is different when you are working in the round for stockinette stitch?
Ok so knit row, perl row, rinse and repeat What is that tapping sound in the background? Sounds like someone is typing the transcript of the video in the background 😄

Im really disapointed by your tutorial. You said it was for ,,beginers'' but its going so fast, I can barely see what are you doing. If you are a total beginer like me, you cant just watch a man knitting. We need a slow and precised tutorial and explaination.

This is called continental knitting. Literally millions knit like this, even tho it may not be the style you learned. It is often much faster than English throwing, tho, yes. But there are tons of TH-cam channels that teach you that.
maybe check out this tutorial if you need things a bit slower: th-cam.com/video/zLSaApeG-vY/w-d-xo.html this was one of my very first videos where i barely knew what i was doing ^^

you do know that you can press on the settings button and change the speed. So, if I am knitting too fast for you, just play ing at 50% of the speed ;-)
@@pratigya_berwal no worries. This was one of my very first videos I recorded and there's certainly a lot to improve. Just wanted to point that out because a lot of viewers are not aware of that. I recently started a second channel where I show things much clearer and try to include slow-mo shots as well
You promise to show “best cast on for stockinette” at the start of your video but then proceed to just start casting-on with long tail cast on (ONTO TWO NEEDLES btw! - which doesn’t improve stretch but only causes those stitches to be really large and slack but doesn’t improve stretch because the strand holding the stitches along the edge is what actually allows for the stretch 🤦🏼♀️) I’ve enjoyed your other videos but this one really doesn’t deliver. Look at the mechanics of the LTCO and you will see what I mean. Use contrasting colors to visually “divide” the long tail from the stitches you are casting onto your doubled-up needles and you will see exactly what I’m describing. I am so disappointed. Just wasted 10 + minutes of my life plus the time to comment. 🙄
Formost i promise "for beginners". If you expect content for advanced knitters, kindly click on a video that specifically mentions that. Secondly, I do knit 50% of my stockinette stitch projects wih a LTCO and around two needles. It doesn't look sloppy for me, and most people I meet are unsure whether I bought or knitted stuff myself. Thirdly, this video has a link in its description. Follow it, for cast-on alternatives. And, last, but certainly not least. Please, if you want to critize someone, do it with respect. If you want to teach someone, ask them first, if they atualyl want to. It might come across as rude otherwise.

You promise to show “best cast on for stockinette” at the start of your video but then proceed to just start casting-on with long tail cast on (ONTO TWO NEEDLES btw! - which doesn’t improve stretch but only causes those stitches to be really large and slack but doesn’t improve stretch because the strand holding the stitches along the edge is what actually allows for the stretch 🤦🏼♀️)
I’ve enjoyed your other videos but this one really doesn’t deliver. Look at the mechanics of the LTCO and you will see what I mean. Use contrasting colors to visually “divide” the long tail from the stitches you are casting onto your doubled-up needles and you will see exactly what I’m describing. I am so disappointed. Just wasted 10 + minutes of my life plus the time to comment. 🙄
Formost i promise "for beginners". If you expect content for advanced knitters, kindly click on a video that specifically mentions that.
Secondly, I do knit 50% of my stockinette stitch projects wih a LTCO and around two needles. It doesn't look sloppy for me, and most people I meet are unsure whether I bought or knitted stuff myself.
Thirdly, this video has a link in its description. Follow it, for cast-on alternatives.
And, last, but certainly not least. Please, if you want to critize someone, do it with respect. If you want to teach someone, ask them first, if they atualyl want to. It might come across as rude otherwise.
