I lost my Nana before she could finish teaching me all that she knew about knitting so now I'm trying to fill in the gaps. Seeing your knitting took me back to watching her knit and felt so familiar ❤️ Thank you Sheila
Thank you so much Sheila, I'm a beginner and not too smooth...it took me a while to get this but I finally do 💗 so happy. I'm really quite terrible at knitting thus far, but I'm absolutely determined. Thanks again 💗☺️💗
THANK YOU! I put my knitting needles down for a long while. Well, today I started to make a very simple baby blanket & couldn’t remember how to increase a stitch. Just need to do a couple to start off. I watched another video & her way was not familiar & I kept failing. Well, the moment you did your increase it was like riding a bike. All came back to me. I’m only 1:25min into the video and I’m back in the saddle. Thank you so much!
@@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191 I was having some issues with starting the blanket but I grabbed some old yarn & practiced a few times. Now I’m on a roll! It’s coming back to me now. Hopefully my skills will pick up where I left off.
Thank you Sheila, your tutorials are so easy to follow. I just now noticed how you are holding your working thread, and I tried it and love it! The working yarn just glides through the fingers at a nice tension and that poor wee baby finger is no longer cramped from being folded in so tightly. Much appreciated. Hello from Nova Scotia.
nice to know my tutorial hasn't just taught someone to increase the sleeve stitches, but also a different way to hold the yarn, thank you for watching Vicky from Newcastle Upon Tyne
Thank you so much, Sheila. These are VERY clear instructions. I'm knitting a fingering weight sweater for my new wee grand-nephew, and the increases look beautiful!
Thank you Sheila you are a very helpful lady and I wasn't sure if I couldmke sleeves on straight knitting needles bc my dad also did say he never saw his own mum knit them on circular ones and im glad i dont have to buy any for it Xxx
Im also a beginner and havw began knitting a pullover for an 11 year old child. Already done the back and front and now beginning to knit the first sleeve. I have cast on 50 stitches and knitted 5 rows in stockung stitch. I now have to increase 1 stitch at rhe beginning of the next row and increase another stitch at rhe end of the knitted row. How do I increase by 1 stitch at rhe beginning of the row and how do I increase by 1 stitch at the end of this row. I know its simple but im learning. TIA. Love your Irish accent.
Thank you so much Sheila, that was so helpful. Knitting is my new hobby since being locked down - it’s the only thing (apart from drinking beer) that keeps me sane. Also loving your Geordie accent! xx 😘
Thank you. I’m working on a pattern that was telling me to increase only on one side but the seem would end up curving while the other seam with be straight. So frustrating.
Wonderfully clear demonstration. This was so helpful! I have recently taken up knitting again for a soon to arrive grand-baby but realized there were some things that I'd forgotten how to do. Many thanks and best wishes!!
Hello from Vermont USA. We have the same first name, spelled the same! I landed on your video because I wanted to see how to make a basic knit increase for a baby toy I am knitting, tho' continental style. Your demonstration was perfect! I now see how to do it in continental. Your accent struck me as not "typically" British; I suspect it reflects some regional dialect, as in the US, the difference between a northern accent and a southern accent.
Hello Sheila, you are right my accent is a regional one, i am what is known as a Geordie from Newcastle Upon Tyne not quite as far North as Scotland, near the border, i am happy my video was of help to you..🤗
My mother was from Kingston upon Thames. She never lost her British accent living in America for 30 years. Actually I didn't really think she had an "accent" but other folks did. @@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191
Thank you for helping me rekindle my old love of knitting. As I am in Florida and my governor, Desantis thinks my life is expendable, I'll be doing more crafts. 🌴🌴
Newbie here, Thank you for the clear instructions! I had a question though? Is this only done from the Knit side, or do you do it in the Purl side too!? Thank you so much!
I do it on the knit side, but it can be done on the purl side as well if you are doing a pattern, sometimes it is better on the wrong side to keep the pattern right..🤗
Hi Sheila I’m asking you for help I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong with my work I have to increase after doing Rib 4 and then I have to increase next stitch then I have to rib 3 and increase. Next stitch repeating from star to last 6 stitches I’ve done this so many times I’m thinking of giving up on this when I’m finished I am meant to have 81 stitches but I’ve got over many what am I doing wrong I started with 66 stitches plz help me
Hi Lorraine, hope i can help, i cast on the 66 stitches you said you started with and rib the first 4 sts, increase on the 5th st then rib 3 and increase next st, so increasing on every 4th st to last 6 sts increase 1st and rib last 5 sts takes me to 81 sts, think that may be what you are supposed to do, you may have been increasing on every 3rd st, try it and good luck that you have those 81 sts at the end of it
I like the 2nd method thankyou, I did a trial run piece. Now doing the sleeve, but am stuck? I have knitted 12 row double rib (56) st. Change to no 8* and pattern says Inc. row: K (1) *inc., k (2) repeat from * until (1) st remains k (1) - 74 st Next row all p. I have tried every which way but can't figure this out. Please help thanks luv n light x
Knit the 1st st, (inc in the next st, knit the next 2 sts) repeat the sts in the brackets till only 1 st left knit that stitch that is how it looks to me but i have 3 sts left after the last inc not 1, so i would just knit those 3 sts it will come to 74 sts, looks like a slight fault in the pattern..

Hello, may I know how you increase a stitch from the back side?

Thanks Sheila. I don't think I have been doing this correctly ever.

Mines a Geordie accent from Newcastle, my grandmother was also from Glasgow
Thx this video is very helpful
So you only knit 1 stitch at the beginning but 2 at the end?
Yes Cloudy if you take a close look you will see 2 sts at the start before the inc stitch and at the end 2 sts after the inc st ..
I like the 2nd method thankyou, I did a trial run piece. Now doing the sleeve, but am stuck? I have knitted 12 row double rib (56) st.

Thank you 🙏🏻🥰 This was very helpful 👍🏻🥰
Glad to be of help
Don’t you need to M1R & M1L for the second way of increasing so that the right side of the sleeve is leaning to the right?
There's no leaning anyway on increasing all the same ..
Can you please tell what's the needle size in mm ? Tyvm!! It's very helpful ☺️
I used 4mm needles for the double knitting wool i was knitting with 🤗
@@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191 thank you very much!!!❤️❤️
THANK YOU SHEILA
Could I just do one side for a bat wing sweater?
Don't think so Nora, both sides would have to match up, just need to make the sleeve a lot wider
O can you tell me qhats the difference in increasing and make one they both sound the same to me x
They are the same Shirley make 1 is another way of increasing on the sleeves.🤗
