I don't see TH-cam as a "cheat", back in the old days you had a grama, auntie, or community to show you, live and in person, how to do something when you got stuck. TH-cam is that person imo. LOVE your channel.
This, exactly--you're just learning from someone else . . . through the Internet instead of directly. It's really not that different.
100% agree
Yes, couldn't agree more, nothing wrong in using the resources we have available to us x
You're doing great! There is no one right way to knit, just like there's no one right way to crochet. Do what's comfortable for you. I tension the yarn with my left hand ("Continental knitting"); my best friend tensions it with her right. And everythi9ng gets better with practice.
Think of it as Gramma TH-cam!
For a non tutorial, I have to say..I learned waaaay more watching you “learn” than watching an experienced knitter explain it. ❤
Yes I agree
Aha! I never knew about moving the yarn from front to back! You’ve just “fixed” a major issue I had with learning to knit! Great “tutorial”, my friend. 😊
You’re knitting!!!!
I taught myself how to crochet doilies back in the late 80’s and about 15 years ago, my Aunt had a round lacy dishcloth that was knitted so I taught myself to knit so I could make that dishcloth.
Good job branching out!!! If you’re interested in a good “practice” project I recommend the “almost lost dishcloth” or “granny’s favorite dishcloth”.
Have fun!🤩
as a crocheter - you should try continental style - it may help your tension control - good luck.
Indeed, but as I mentioned in the video, I did try that style and my tentation was so tight I could not get my needle in the stitch most of the time, Im sure it will come with time but for now this is working for me :)
I was about to say the same thing. It seems more natural for a person who crochets. I always put my needle in the bottom then pull through. For purling yarn in front. For me in Continental knitting is easier and any way you do it consistently is correct! 🧶💙
@justvintagecrochet I would definitely give it a go again. It takes a little longer to learn but once you've got it you'll be really pleased you did. It's easier on the hands and wrists which is why I persevered and taught myself continental style. It only took a day or two to learn the difference 😊
@@justvintagecrochetIt took me several years to learn to do tension properly on continental style knitting, but it is so much better once you figure it out. I encourage you to keep practicing!
On an interesting historic note, the US switched from
continental to the English style you’re doing here during world war 2 as it was easier to learn so that people could contribute to the war effort.
I crocheted for more than 50 years. In the past 5 years I wanted to finally learn to knit. I learned to read stitches by remembering the purl stitch wears a turtleneck. I’m pretty sure I look awkward knitting too. But I’m making my first sweater.
I'm so proud of you. Knitting has just always escaped me, and if I try now it makes my hands hurt too much. But I crochet lace and doilies with a tiny hook and thread with no problem, so maybe it's all in my head.😂😂
I love that you challenge yourself to learn new skills. When I was 15, my Mom took lessons to learn how to knit at a local store, and "forgot" to tell the instructor that she was a lefty. The first 3 lessons, she was extremely frustrated when she got home. She threw the directions, needles and a pattern at me , saying "This was my last lesson if you don't help me figure this out". After she calmed down, I had her sit across from me on my bed and mirror what I did as I worked each step. I went with her to the rest of the lessons, she sat across the aisle from me, and the instructor didn't catch on about Mom being left handed until the 10th class. Mom did forget how to cast on in her 70"s, 40 years later.
Awaiting the rebrand: "Just Vintage Crochet and Knitting" 😆
As creative as you are. . . You'll be speed knitting in no time. I love to do both! 😊
You're doing a great job!!!! Never let the knit police tell you that you're doing it wrong!! Everyone does it different . All you need to know is that it looks good when fi wished
I would suggest watching " nimble needles " if you are going to continue knitting. Norm is absolutely amazing!!
Congratulations ❤❤❤
I taught myself to knit from a book as well during the dark ages before TH-cam 🤣 I got much better when videos became a thing. You’re doing great and as you practice more you’ll learn what your stitches are supposed to look like and you’ll get a feel for the tension.
I strictly knit but love watching your videos. My go to resource for most things knitting is very pink knits, she also does slow motion videos. But I’m off my recommendation soapbox now.
Absolutely love your content and love to knit to it, so thanks for the hours or entertainment I’ve had and that are in my future
What a brave girl you are!! Honestly is there nothing you can't do??? I am in awe of your needle work talents, Yay, you!
Me too!! I think she is a needlework genius!!
You did amazing for your first time. I'm a knitter and crocheter. If the stitches are too tight , try to hold the needle and yarn a little looser you'll find you'll find your tension a little looser.. keep up the good work..
I started to learn to crochet about a month ago and knit my first hat day before yesterday :) love watching your channel and the amazing patterns
Back loop of the first stitch and last stitch always makes the edge neater
You're doing fine. I do both and I'm having fun watching you do so well!
Do you know how refreshing this video is for one who crochets and sometimes knits? You hold the needles and throw the yarn over the needle just like I do on each stitch. Knitting is not my friend only because when you make a mistake, it is - to me - absolute misery to try to fix, and I have to consult a book to do it. There is no frogging that will work in my experience unless you thread a piece of extra yarn in a different color through all the loops on the hook every so often for a "lifeline". Otherwise, as you try to rethread the loops on your hook, they dissolve and the whole thing begins to come apart. At which point I get out my crochet hooks. I really want to make socks and don't care for the ribbing in crochet as much as in knitting. Oh well. Most of the videos for knitting are by experts who only knit, and they say how EASY everything is, and then proceed to demonstrate that it is NOT easy. Sigh.
i love knitting while watching your mystery crochet videos so it’s awesome seeing you try a different fiber craft!! you did a. great job (usually i just use my fingers to bring the loop over binding off so you’re doing better than me lol)
I can't tell you HOW MANY TIMES I have tried to learn to knit!!! I have the basic cast on, knitting and pearling down (meaning I know how to do it), but something always goes wrong with my tension. I always have one end that is so loose it starts to unravel, while the other end tends to be super tight. It happens EVERY time, and I have a lot of knitters around me, and NO ONE can seem to understand where I'm going wrong. I've even had knitters sit there and watch me, can't find any fault with what I'm doing, but I still end up with the same problem!
I have to say, kudos to you for being able to figure it out!!! I want to learn, I really do... and every couple of years I go back to it... try it for a month or two, come up with the same problem, and put it away again for another year or two in frustration! lol
Probably as u go ur tension loosens
@@purpdlerose see, that's what I originally thought as well. But I was watching her as she was knitting, and she does the same thing I do... once you have the last stitch on the right-hand needle, she put that needle in her left hand, and started the new row. I do the same. If I was going looser as I go... because I change the needle over each time, shouldn't both of my ends tend to be loose and then be tighter in the middle of my work? That's not the case. My knit work is always loose on the RIGHT side (meaning if I lay the work on the table right side up, my left side is the same tension as the middle part of my work, my right side is so loose that it starts to unravel), even though I'm going back and forth.
I was self taught using ‘The Complete Guide to Modern Knitting and Crochet’ that my mom got in the 1940s. This allowed 6 year old me to figure out MY way of doing it to get the same results. Watching you knit “by the book” confuses my old 🧠.
Kudos for such an attempt 👏🏼👏🏼. I have tried knitting several times and cannot find the mojo for it.
I think you’re doing great! I actually like to knit more but I’m better at understanding crochet. Here is your tip, the knit stitch when turned over is a purl stitch and the opposite for a purl stitch. You’ve got this. I love watching what you come up with. My mother died 30 years ago and being the only daughter I inherited all of her knitting items and have put all of her old needles in a cute mason jar for display.
A tip…… decide which side you want as the front side and make a stitch with contrasting thread and make a shoelace type bow on the front side.
I learned how to knit as a girl in Germany in the late 50s, I believe it was even taught in school. The way you knit has always been a mystery to me, so this was really interesting :-) . You did great!
If i knew how to describe how I knit I am sure you'd find it helpful. But for someone knitting for such a short length of time you've done amazing.
My heart sank when I saw you using a circular needle, with the technique you are developing an extra long needle anchored under your right arm would allow you to work much faster. I found circular needles very difficult until I had learnt double ended needles first, but everyone is different, everyone picks up crafts in different ways. You have done very well already.
Well done Corrina! For your first attempt you did great. I also can’t knit with normal knitting needles, I find them awkward & in the way. My mum taught me the basics, but I couldn’t get the hang of casting on so she did it for me & my tension was awful. I lost my mum when she was 61 so as I couldn’t cast on that was the end of my knitting. Jumping forward a couple of years I was watching a craft channel & they had a guest showing some of the pieces & she was knitting “funny” she had the yarn in her left hand & was knitting so easily, I emailed into the live show asking for info on her style of knitting & I was off to the internet to learn this strange new, to me, style. After several attempts with different TH-camrs I decided to take an internet course & found Liat Gatt from knit freedom. The best $6 dollars I’d spent. She goes over everything & the course was very comprehensive even showing how to cast on & all the stitches & stitch combos. My knitting was a million times better, it solved my tension issues, no, it solved all my issues! I could actually knit something I wasn’t ashamed to wear & it was so much more instinctive after crocheting for over 20 years. I can only say give it a try it worked for me & I don’t have the aches in my hand trying to work against my instincts when holding the yarn. Sorry this is so long turned into my soapbox. I’ll shut up now 😂 ❤️❤️👏👏🇬🇧
Ps. I still prefer crochet.
First of all, good job! You picked that up super quick! And don't sell yourself so short, there's a lot of beautiful and awesome things you can make with the 2 basic stitches! I had trouble with tension using both English and continental, so I had to switch to Portugues knitting, so when I was watching I actually couldn't specifically look at the stitches you were making or I'd get confused and do them the old way. Haha. 😅 Thank you, so much for jumping into knitting for a second to do this historical pattern. I actually found a bunch of historical knitting patterns that I'm quite eager to try. Always awesome content! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
It looks great. When I started crocheting from watching your videos, It took me a couple weeks before my tension wasn't all over the place. I actually crocheted 4 cat ear caps for my friends before my tension settled down. You did it very well! And the stitches you pointed too as mistakes are basically knit when you were meant to crochet or vice versa. This can be corrected with a crochet hook by dropping the stich off the needle and using the crochet hook to pick it up. And crochet hooks will help with dropped stitches as well in knitting. I have one next to me any time I knit. Well done!
I love that you did this. Very inspiring. Thanks Corinna! 💘
Loved the knitting video. I just recently learned how to knit. I have been crocheting for many years. I found it was easy to hold my yarn while knitting the same way I would hold it when I crocheted. Thanks for all the tips
Look at you go! You're off to a great start! And you know what? I've been knitting since 2006, and I'm still not a big fan of binding off. My favorite is cables. They may look complicated, but you only need to know how to knit and purl to make a simple cable scarf. Keep practicing! This is awesome!
I have been knitting a good amount of time 👌🏻 Hope it goes well for you 👍 I have been crocheting more since I have been watching your channel. Thank you 💐
Amazing!! I haven’t knit since I was a small child, and now 20+ years later I decided to challenge myself to knit a sock and honestly it’s been super rewarding. I picked up crochet in 2020 so I’m more experienced in that but I’m enjoying knitting. I used to be so worried about dropping stitches or needing to frog with knitting but I’ve realised now that it’s no big deal! What a confidence booster!
As a crocheter, I wanted to knit to produce smooth fabric for socks. Crocheted socks aren't smooth against my skin. Your beginning knitting makes me want to finish that pair of knit socks! Nice job for a 2 day new knitter! 🧶
❤ very good work. That would work up to be a pretty pillow covering. I have only knitted a cowl, but I really love it.
Knitting is great for relatively flat works, and has a more consistent texture.
But it is not the most flexible, and cant make complicated shapes.
It simply has a different use as compared to crochet. But both are absolutely wonderful.
I knit and crochet. My mom taught me how to crochet when I was 8 years old. In grade school I taught all my friends to crochet. I learned to knit from a German nun Sister Prudencia when I was 14, but I have always preferred crochet. But congratulations on learning to knit,you will enjoy it
You did really well for just learning to knit in this video. I've been doing it since like 4th grade and only know how to make rectangles with the pearl stitch. You learned far faster than I did. 😊 The error in the stitch could have just been a tension difference.
I taught myself a couple years ago, from TH-cam. Just thought I'd share some observations from my experience. There are many "styles" of knitting. But mainly 'continental' and 'English'. Some of the techniques are definitely different. Id watch videos and sometimes just couldn't get it to "work". Finally figured out that that was why. Easy way to tell is which hand their working yarn is in. Left is continental. Your book is teaching English. There are many good teachers, but i highly recommend Roxanne Richardson, if you're having trouble with something. Her explanations are very clear and complete. I really am glad I know how to do both now though.
I first learned to crochet at about age 9 or 10. Then a few years later i learned to knit. My mother taught me English knitting (yarn held in right hand) and it was ok. About 40 years ago i saw someone knitting Continental (yarn held in left hand) and it opened a whole new world to me. I’ve since read that if a person first learned crochet that they usually found it easier to knit Continental style. Kudos to you for learning to knit!
To this day I can't wrap my brain around English style knitting. It doesn't compute. Which sucks when I want to try a new stitch like the looped stitch, but literally every tutorial that exists (at least of what I can find) is English style lol.
I had a cousin from Sweden that was visiting our family back in the 50s. I asked to learn at 12yrs old. She taught me the basics, luckily I had a neighbor that helped me learn other stitches. I learned crochet from a co-worker 7 yrs later. Did not know there was a way to knit by holding yarn in my right hand, it just looks cumbersome to me.
I tension my yarn by running it through several fingers of my left hand (I’m a continental knitter) instead of just one. You could also hold it over your index but just loop it over your pinky too. I still knit and crochet pretty tight, but that’s just because I like the way it looks better.
I learned to knit when I was three from a very elderly family friend. She just sat me on her lap and put her hands over mine, so I learned from muscle memory. She taught me to do the Afghan stitch in crochet as well. I didn’t understand that that wasn’t what “crocheting” meant until I was older. One working stitch at a time kind of blew my mind!
I tried to learn crochet as a child and I could never do more than a chain. Years later, I learned how to knit and took to it immediately. But, I still really wanted to learn crochet. So a few years down the line of knitting, I finally figured out crochet! (Though I immediately got tendinitis after two hours of figuring things out via TH-cam) I’ve been primarily crocheting since,mostly because of amigurumi and the feeling of it working up faster than knitting. It’s so interesting seeing the differences between the two. Though, because I learned a different style of the yarn over in knitting, (I don’t wrap around, I kinda grab the yarn with my needle similar to crochet) I just keep the same form of tension in both.
I do both knitting and crochet. What has helped me with tension is I hold my yarn the same while knitting as I do in crochet just the opposite hand. I hold yarn with left hand in crochet and right hand in knit. Also, with your yarning around the the needle don’t tug so yarn you want to be light so your stitches aren’t so tight. Hope this helps. Keep it up you’re doing great.
Well done! I keep trying now and again. Definitely need new muscle memory.
The "jumbos" are good for Broomstick Lace, which is a very beautiful pattern.
The big red plastic needles are lion brands I think they still have them on their website.
For silk or slippery yarn, use wood
For yarn that splits, use blunt tips
To knit faster, use metal
If you knit too tight or your grip is too tight, use wood
Too loose use metal
Your knitting looks fantastic! ❤ keep going, you got this!
That is beautiful and you did extremely well.
I'm not a knitter and never will be so I could be wrong in this comparison, but it looks to me like the awkwardness between knit and pearl would kind of equate to the struggle between front post and backpost double crochet. Fun video. Good luck learning to knit ❤
Ive bee knitting 45-50 years…sometimes it takes a few row or rounds to be able to decipher my knitting. The needles and yarn plays a role in that. My Nana and Mom taught me in two different methods so when I went back to knitting in my adult life I was confused. TH-cam is how I realized I was trying to combine methods. I struggled with cables for a long time I’m a tight knitter…preferred double points.
Thanks for sharing. It gives me some courage to maybe pick up my needles and have another go at it... or probably not. I'm all thumbs when it comes to knitting. Every time I've tried it I can't help but think about how much more rewarding my hooks are and I end up casting it aside by the 4th or 5th row. More power to all those people who enjoy doing it. I just really don't.
Knitting! How fun! I leaned to knit first and then taught myself crochet and like both equally although I found crochet easier to pick up for whatever reason.
If you do decide to invest in different interchangeable needles, the ChiaoGoo Twist sets are Magnificent, very pointy and slick.
You did great for your first time!
There is an interchangeable knitting set on Temu that are amazing! They are $23-$27 and are packaged somewhat like the metal Tunisian set you reviewed, which I bought because of your review. Thanks! They are in an envelope type pouch with a removable board piece with elastic holding them on, just like the Tunisians. These have swivel, metal cables. The tips are metal, smooth and very pointy. The needle sizes are 3mm to 10mm (13 sizes). The needles come in a color choice of all one color, either purple, blue, green, red, gold, or rose gold. The cords and stoppers are the same as the metal Tunisian hooks you reviewed. They are very comparable to the expensive ones. Just thought I would share. I love them a lot, as I do the Tunisians. I like seeing you learning knitting too. Time for another channel?? 😉
That’s a good start. You just make it really harder than you would need to.
Normally you don’t wrap the thread around. You hold the working thread with the „holding“ knit pin. And make the tension with the left index finger. And you direct the thread with the left index finger front and back the work.
Then you only need to take the yarn like in crocheting and always very close to the holding needle, so you get the loops without falling off.
Then, with time knitting get very fast. I love knitting and already started as a little girl. So I think knitting and crocheting are not so much different then it would seem at first glance.
To the knit is like a single crochet and the Perl is like a single crochet in the backloop only that you take the yarn from the front.
And one other thing: you only knit the edge loops in one row and in the second you just flip them over to the other side.
Great job, I only knitted 1 thing 55 years ago with a fancy lace stitch which I don’t remember. I prefer crochet so much more.
There’s a bind-off in knitting that utilizes a crochet hook, it’s called the crocheted bind-off and Very Pink Knits has a good tutorial for it. There’s also a crochet cast-on!
Great tutorial. I haven't figured out knitting yet.
When I was in the Navy I loved knots. I can see how crochet knots work. But I have never knitted so it just looks amazingly complicated 😂
For the most part it is better for a crocheter to use continental knit because it's the same hand we use in crochet with tension but you are doing really well, we are usually a bit tight or loose until we get used to it and sometimes the bindoff is better to use a needle that is a bit bigger than you use and yes 😊 you can use a crochet hook as well but an amazing job in that, I absolutely love your channel🥰
Interesting video. Good job. I take my hat off to knitters. Its like plumbing- something i cannot do inspite of my best efforts. I am a crochet man all the way. Love the Lion Brand reprint of there 1917 book best Xmas present ever!
casting off with a crochet hook definitely does exist as a technique- in fact just before you mentioned it i was thinking you might like casting off with a hook in place of your right needle better! That said your cast off turned out really well from what I could tell. When i first started knitting years and years ago all of my work lost all of its elasticity right at the end because i was casting off so tight the last few rows could barely move, but yours stretched really smoothly with the fabric which is great!
I initially wanted to learn knitting so my Aunt gifted me a book that had all needle work in it (knitting, crochet, lacemakiing ebroidery etc). I went and got all supplies but quickly got frustrated with how slow the process was and discovered my love of crochet by using the dual hook I got to pick dropped stitches.
You did an amazing job!! ❤
I learnt to knit using TH-cam and I still refer to it when I’m knitting a vintage pattern and don’t understand how the stitch works. Can I recommend a needle brand to you, I love love love a Japanese brand called Seeknit. They have interchangeable circular needles and oh boy are they smoother than silk, the yarn just glides right off.
If you want to get a good set of interchangable knitting needles I love the chiagoo needle set that I have, it was $175 but I pretty much knit constantly and have them for about 2 years now, they were super worth it
Yayyyy you did great ❤❤❤
I learned knitting when I was ten (37 years ago)...I have not knitted ever since...I am just to impation. But a friend of mine knits beautiful shawls, I guess it is like tunesian chrochet I would like to love it.
Great job! Im also an english style knitter. Just can't get the feel for continental style. Besides, i really enjoying throwing my yelarn over the needle 😊. Something therapeutic about it.
Terrific! I'm just learning as well, but not doing that well! Somehow, I find the purl stitch easier!😅
I learned last year. I love continental because it feels more like crochet.
I’d love to learn to knit but I really need to getter better at crochet first. I wish I could read a pattern better!! I always mess up somewhere. It’s been very frustrating. Thank you for sharing. It looks great!
You done really well 😊. I found out that as a crocheter first, I'm used to using something short in my hand and trying to use long knitting needles just wasn't working so i got inter changeable knitting needles, I'm a lefty (southpaw) and found them so much easier. Also can't use long tunisian hooks either, have inter changeable ones. Hope this helps 🫶🤗
So I'm 70 y/o and my mother could knit beautifully and taught me how to knit when I was 8 years old. She taught me the English way to hold your yarn and I can't do the European method though it looks easier. Then when I was 16 I learned to crochet from a lady in Louisiana. Thank goodness for TH-cam nowadays ,
So I have trouble knitting despite knowing crochet well. My mother is a knitter and tried to teach me. I never really picked it up but what I do remember is this: to determine if you are looking at a knit or a purl, the knit stitch looks like the neckline of a v neck and the purl stitches look like turtle necks.
I do work at knitting upon occasion. When people ask what I’m making, my response is: “mostly mistakes”.
You are doing great…..this was both fun and terrifying.
I use both bamboo and metal needles. Bamboo will help with the tension issue because you’ll learn to not hold the yarn tight.
22:05 you miss one stitch! it sleeped out of the needle! Oh, how unfortunate! you were doing a pretty good work!
You did good!! Very impressed :)
I am, what they call in the business, bistitchual~ I knit and crochet ((and embroider and am dabbling in tatting and macrame but that's besides the point)) It's nice because if my knitting muscles get tired, I can switch over and beat up my crochet muscles for a little bit. Plus, I just get bored easily.... Very excited for this~
yes just vintage knitting is born 😊
Oh, I still grab my crochet hook to cast off at times, sometimes it's just easier.
I always binds off using a crochet hook 😊
Good job. Do yourself a favor and invest in some interchangeable needles if you are going to keep learning. I like the cables that spin.
I learnt at school how to knit but not crochet! I wish I had done crochet.
I just organized(?) a little bit last week and guess where my knitting needles are. 😂 The top inside box on the stack against the wall behind my rafter high big box yarn stacks. 😂 How do you cast on? 😅❤
lol I knit just for fun occasionally but so I can make is a scarf. The only thing I’m good at is crochet so every time I’m try to pick up knitting again the first hour has me incredibly frustrated 😂
How did you handle any mistakes? That is my biggest issue, so I just stick with crochet. I truly want to learn how to knit.
I use a crochet hook sometimes.
It is different from how I learned knitting in Germany.
I take the yarn with the needle and don't wrap it around the needle.
The wrap around the needle is typically for English or American people.
Same here in Finland, the American style looks complicated. But it must depend on what one's used to!
I prefer knitting. You have just two stitches. That's it. Manipulating those two stitches gives you beautiful patterns and designs.
Crochet, as you know, has many stitches.
I learned how to knit and crochet by reading from McCall's Crafts magazine 64 yrs ago when I was 10. Before your time. Now I use TH-cam. If you want to learn how to control your tension go to Very Pink. Stacy shows you how to make Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth using Portuguese knitting. I've used that pattern and style for baby blankets. The Portuguese when knitting don't have a problem with purling. When doing stockinette in the round they turn their work inside out and purl. Just seeing how you did this tutorial I'm sure you'd get the Portuguese in no time👍👍👏💯
I love being able to do both. Changes up the muscles my hands use a bit and keeps me from over use.
When I was younger I did both. I got away from knitting because I can crochet faster. I am investing in knitting needles now. It's time for me to get back into knitting. I'm also looking at adding hand embroidery to my needle arts repertoire.
Im amazed her hands can manipulate the needles after five minutes. I tried knitting after many years and couldnt get a hold of them right at all.
You picked up knitting super fast, and did a fabulous job! I've been knitting for 25 years, also self-taught and you picked it up way faster. Well done!
That pattern would be great for a blanket! Would love to see a few more samples from that book...just once in a while?
What you do here on TH-cam, explaining these patterns and stitches etc, is very, very, very excellent 👍🏼
I can't tell you how much I've learned from your clear directions and demonstrations and all with a laid-back and fun style that makes me feel I can do it too 👏👏👏
This video could not have come at a better time. Enjoying every minute. I do hope you'll keep at it, I would love to see more knit from you.
This is a wonderful start to your knitting journey, I hope you have the enthusiasm to continue. Even if you never choose to master all the techniques what you have already learned with some basic increases and decreases is more than enough for a considerable range of garments and items 💕
Looks great! I’m just learning to knit, too! I have the same difficulty identifying my stitches. It’s so natural for me to “see” my stitches in crochet. And dropping a stitch! Yikes! Or fixing mistakes? And don’t get me started on tension! LOL. I do love the look of knitting…partly why I learned Tunisian crochet. But at almost 60…I decided to get myself some knitting needles and finally learn.I will say, however, that I’m glad I decided to learn the continental knitting style. I’d recommend it.
Continental is how I learned how to knit, which made keeping tension while learning crochet so much easier because it’s basically the same action and way of holding the yarn! I absolutely love it and I don’t think I could do it any other way lol 😂
I love knitting and crochet. I’ve knitted for many years but not so much with crochet until earlier this year. I taken on the philosophy that is all making loops with yarn/thread and as long as I like the final fabric then I’m not worried about the ‘proper’ ways. My yarn crafting is my de-stress and anxiety reducing hobby and worrying is counterproductive to why I’m doing it
Well said. I didn’t even notice the mistake in Corinna’s project until she pointed it out. She did such a good job.
Well done Corinna.
