- In this video, I demonstrate getting started with double-pointed needles in slow motion. Part of my slow motion series for very visual learners.
You can see my slow-motion playlist here:
• Slow-Motion Techniques
You can see my regular speed mattress stitch video here:
• Knitting Help - Mattre...
The needles I'm using are Knitter's Pride Ginger. The yarn is Paintbox Wool Mix Chunky in Sailor Blue.
The scarf on the mannequin is Cave of Kelpius (not my design): www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
It's official. You are my knitting guru.
These slow motion technique videos are SO helpful! When it comes to crafting, it's so much easier for me to see it along with reading the instructions on the pattern. Thank you for all your assistance!
Wonderful video!! Love the slow motion and the tips for DPN’s! I love your instructions, have learned so much from you these
Last few years!
Wow! I wish this video had been available years ago when I first started using DPNs. It would have saved me a lot of heart ache! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you this is do useful. I have replayed 3.20 a million times and the idea of casting on to the individual needles is something I will have to try as I just make ladders and a mess.
Thank you. Love the visual, slow-motion instructions!
Love your hand motion for the cast on! I’m a continental knitter and haven’t mastered the “flicking” motion, so I stick with continental.
Great video, especially for small projects. Thanks. ❤️
I used this to help me with DPN's. Thank you! I also just want to say you have such pretty hands and your choices of nail colors are great!
I think this was by far the best slow motion video. It really helped with the fear of using DPNs thanks
the big yarn is helpful.
Thank you for your videos. Without you, I would have never become a successful knitter. I have no fear knitting anything now, knowing that VeryPink surely has a video for any stitch, cast-on/off that I could ever need.
I have been watching Kristy Glass Knits channel, her interviews with designers, dyers, LYS owners, etc and SO many of them attribute their knitting skills to YOU and your videos!! You should be very proud of your knitting legacy.
Me too! Thank you Staci
LOVE THIS!!! Yes please! More of this!
I like this set/ background. Very bright. Lots of light. 😃👍🏻
I use dpn's more than anything and I love this!
Thank you so much! I’ve watched several videos related to this topic and something about this just “clicked” with me! Super helpful!
I'm one who's intimidated~!! I saw the notification for this and thought~Yes !!
I actually window shopped DPN's last night lol.....
I'm thinking it might be time to face my fear,lol.....🥢🥢
Me TOO!!!! My uncle's been wanting a pair of "knitted mittens" and I've BEEN full of anxiety LOL! Today's the day! Well, started yesterday LOL! Hot a whole cuff done! Dreading THOSE thumb gussets! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so helpful for a visual learner. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. It will be great to refer to when I attempt using DPNs again.
This slow motion tutorial was great! Thank you 💕
I’m going to give it a try. Keeping my fingers crossed I can do this. You would not believe how many tries I have
tried to use DPNs.
never give up!
I love that color
Thank you getting it now you are a great teacher😊
Great video thank you
Thank you Very Pink. So easy; why didn’t I think of that?!
i just find that the other needles get in my way. I know it can be faster to knit with DPN but i can't get past the flopping needles and always go back to knitting with the cable needles. thank you.
Thank you !
Excellent video, Staci! I learned something new after all these years of working with DPNS. Thank you! ♡♡♡
Thank you for this slow-mo instructional! I'm to the point (ha!) in my first hat where I'm going to have to use DPN soon, and I'm nervous about it, but maybe it's not so scary?
Thank you for the slow mo tutorial on how to cast on and work with dpns. My needles always get twisted and I cannot get them untangled
Thanks slow motion helps
Video makes it look so simple, yet I struggle with dpn’s! I realize the first round is probably the worse, with nothing to hang on to, I just can’t seem to get beyond it! I’ll keep trying! 😊
Yes, keep trying! The first round is definitely the most difficult, it gets easier and easier as you keep going.
I know you recently reviewed the Ginger needles but what DPN's do you love most of all, for socks?
Great video ( as usual)! Question: it seems to me that both circular and DPN pretty much do the same thing. Am I wrong? Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages of choosing DPNs over circulars? Thanks!
You are right in that circular needles and DPNs are both used to knit in the round. However, DPNs are used when knitting a smaller tube. For example, when knitting a sock, it is easier to use DPNs than 9in. circulars.
Great Tutorial! One question though... how do I mark the beginning? Usually when joining in the round (with 16” circs or magic loop) I use a stitch marker. Can I still do that?
That's a good question...you can't use a normal ring stitch marker at the end of a DPN because it will just slide off, but you can use a clippie marker, or a safety pin to mark the beginning of the round.
Hi Staci ! Great tutorial. I want to purchase a complete set of dpns. Which is your favorite ?
I’m looking for sharper points. The ginger needles you used in this video look pretty “pointy “ to me. On your recommendation I’ve ordered Paintbox wool mix chunky to knit your bulky sleep socks pattern.
Can you do a slow motion on the heel using the DPN?
I had been taught to keep my empty (and filling) needle above the needle I'd just completed. You keep yours below. Does it make a difference?
No - just a personal preference, won't make a difference in the work.
When using dpns for decreases in the round, how do you mark which needle is the start, after you have completed the first time around? If I get interrupted I can’t tell which needle is the beginning one and where the next decrease needs to take place.
You can tell in a couple of ways...the tail end of your yarn (from the cast-on) marks the spot between the two needles that is the beginning of your round. You can also use a clippie marker or safety pin to mark on the fabric the spot between the two needles that is the beginning of the round.
When I was new at dpns I had trouble keeping the stitches too loose so bad that sometimes I would drop a dpn. Any advice for newbies with this problem?
Yes - you can make a conscious effort to tighten up your stitches a bit (it will take some practice), and/or use bamboo DPNs, which have a little more grip.
How do you not get ladders. I am starting to like dpn needles but get upset with ladders. Thanks for your videos.
Here is my video on avoiding ladders: th-cam.com/video/K-J4fo5fDjI/w-d-xo.html
does it matter if you throw the yarn clockwise or counterclockwise to form the stitch on the needle when you cast on
Yes - it does make a difference, but it can be done either way. Wrapping the yarn the opposite direction is usually Combination Knitting...you can learn more by searching my channel and watching the video.
u just started like that i hate it how im i supposed to know what did you do in the beginning
This video is probably more what you are looking for: th-cam.com/video/XqkIdJ3WSzA/w-d-xo.html
