Carolina....stopping in to say hello...it's me your little woolie🐑☺️while this is above my level(more than two row repeat😂) I truly appreciate your teaching method and beautiful patterns🧶. Thank you....until next time😊💙
@@sowoollyAww, you have such faith in me🥹I'm sure with your continued encouragement and time off from rolling my yarn stash I can try😂🤣 Bye...signing off🐑☺️💙
Aoww! Rubbish! If you have sight, you can watch and do. You can learn to use your settings and find out where the playback speed is and slow it down so you can watch and do even better. You could... tune in again another day or you can learn to save to your library and then revisit. Either way you can punch pause and play. Don't let the usual way you may have learned before halt you. Think outside the box. If you slow the playback speed down so that you can watch and do along with her, looking for what she's doing to your work to complete the stitches, maybe using the pause button in between, for this whole tutorial, then you can just look at what you've done and see the gist of how it is and do it...know why? Ya just did it! You can also pause the video where you stopped because you have to go make dinner or something, and then start back up... Because when you cut a video off, that's where it starts right back up. I didn't have anybody to teach me until TH-cam came along and I started watching videos and more videos and in foreign languages - I learned a few necessary things in Turkish and a few in Russian. I even refreshed some of my Spanish from high school. Some of the languages sound harsh rapid and I feel like I'm being scolded, so I turn those off. Many, many, many of the videos I watch have no language spoken at all they have nice music or sometimes repetitive clips of music that get irritating but you can turn that down and turn on your stereo... The point is here, is that I learned so much from just watching hundreds of thousands of videos, and I began to see a certain way of knitting that I found out is called Eastern or Eastern European or Russian knitting. Political things being as they are or have been in history there seems to be a lot of Middle Eastern women who know how to Eastern knit, so I'm wondering who learned it from whom. All the other ways of knitting seem to have really difficult ways of getting some stitches done, so some strategies I have heard were switch from English to Continental - which I found out was actually German knitting [I guess the time of Germans trying to takeover the world, and the whole Hitler thing made it much nicer to speak of with a change of name] - or to "do the Russian Purl" or do the "Norwegian Purl". Then I found out there's a Backwards Pearl that hardly anyone knows about from Knit Together's Roz. Not knowing much of anything I didn't really know what I was looking at and since one day I decided to just pick up some sticks and do what I was seeing on a Russian video... I haven't looked back to see if it is the same as the Russian Purl or the Knit that you do on the back of your work when working in Eastern style knitting. I haven't looked back and I am sailing along, very happy in my progress, because I'm not bogged down by the rules of patterns, a written words or directive words that I may have to stop and try to figure out what they mean or accidentally make a wrong move screw something up and back up and try to do something else right or whatever. By simply watching and doing and skipping the words, your eyes and mind do the work and send the message to your hands. It's kind of like skipping the middleman and it really trains your focus really figure out what is being shown and how the movements should be or should not be done. Also I have found that people who do not speak are often better demonstrators. There are a lot of good English speakers hosting tutorials but I still prefer the ones who know there is a language barrier because they seem to be more excellent demonstrators. A lot of speaking hosts assume that because they are saying something it is easily understood, sorry to say that is not the case with some people who have distractions or who have had a stroke or who might be dyslexic or on the spectrum of autism. Maybe I have a little of both of the last ones,or maybe it's the PTSD talking but I tend to prefer watching and figuring without the verbals. You should try it a few times, and work the work with the host or hostess of the video. Once you've done the sample with them you've had enough repetitions to be able to see and to kind of know in your heart well that looks right, or, that doesn't look right. You're not trusting an unexplored part of yourself. That's what it is. Don't say you're a beginner because I'll say, Bah! Beginner schmaginner! You can do it!😊
Can you always slip a stitch at the beginning off any knitting pattern and finish with a purl! Would you add an extra two stitches if you can , thank you merry Christmas I have just found your fabulous website x
Thanks! Yes, especially for scarves or infinite cowls. However, I don’t do it if I have to seam the piece 😉 Happy knitting and Merry Christmas to you too❣️
for some reason, I can never remember to slip the first stitch, so a German knitter, who learned at age 11 in school, and is now 86, showed me to slip the last stitch, yarn in front if I start with knit, yarn in back if next row begins with a purl. Then I begin the next row by working in the back loop. Perfect edges every time, and I can actually remember this😂
Your welcomes are so warm, but I'm not a woollie, I'm a low count bargain basement acrylie.... Or a temu app bargain woolblendie. I have found some marvellous 95/5 Alpacacrylic (my word, not theirs). I tested it; it's mostly hair with the stanky hair burn smell and very little crusty, burny ball to show proof of the synthetic. You can get 5, 100gr nice neat skeins for, usually, 15 or so dollars. Buyer beware because it can be a little tricky trying to find out the product information. They say a lot of descriptives that go round and round beneath the picture, but you have to scroll down past the comments to the manufacturer or distributor of the product where you can find out more about the product. You may have to tap something that's highlighted or a word or an arrow. It takes a little digging because sometimes maybe it's the language barrier or maybe they're taking advantage of the language barrier, who can say, but I've got some helpful hints for anyone who asks me. It's too much to write right here. I only ever buy yarn on sale. If the price per increment is not low enough, I don't need it. And that's all she wrote. I've found some nice prices on some cotton blends of many different fiber combos, tube yarns with woolblends or thin Merino yarn, nice Cashmere at phenomenal prices on TEMU. AND, YES, I DID SHOP LIKE A BILLIONAIRE😂
I love the way you explain how to do this stitch. ❤ Love the pretty sides and design. Thank you so much for your help.
My pleasure! Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
Sorry about your health issued, but very grateful for all of your wonderful tutorials!
