my tip is to have two projects: one that's a little more complicated and one that you don't have to pay as much attention too. When I first started I always had a plain hat that I could go back to if I was starting to feel frustrated with my adventurous project.

I refer to my simple project as my social project because, like Miss Marple, I can knit on it without a pattern and I can socialize, too.

Prior to the plague I taught local 4H kids knitting. I often used rhymes and funny phrases to help them remember the steps. the most popular being: Stab the pirate, Strangle the pirate, Pull him through And off the plank!

I started learning how to knit by making dishcloths/washcloths. There are tons of free patterns and they allow you to work on different designs. They also don't take that long so you feel accomplishment and if it's hard you can move on or scrap it without losing much. Cotton yarn is also incredibly cheap.

My biggest piece of advice is this: if you can knit even a basic scarf with no mistakes in your finished garment, you’re ready to knit a basic sweater pattern. I know it sounds impossible, but it’s true. You can do it, and it’s more fun and easy than you’d think.

I almost always have a large project and a small project. An afghan and a scarf of also i do a baby sweater. I have made baby sweaters for everyone in our loop. They are always a little shocked .thay some one they barely speak to would go to all the trouble to make a them a gift. But I absolutely love doing it. I am retired and love to knit one of my great grandaughters was having morning sickness so bad and i had made a feather and fan baby blanket in pink and she was having a girl so i mailed it to her. She was so happy she hung it is on the wall so she could just look at it . It didnt stop her morning sickness but she sure enjoyed looking at the beautiful colors in the blanket. I was happy to know i blessed someone. So do what pleases you. I always try to make a blanket and a matching sweater on hand so when i hear of someone having a baby i can maybe please them and make them feel better for a little while. And bring them a little happiness and let them know someone loves them. I do what i can to bring joy to someone.

i'm not considered beginner anymore even though i only started knitting back in march this year. i really enjoy your videos! i learned so much from your videos this year. YES to the advice for don't splurge yet. my first colorwork pullover sweater i attempted was using nicer yarn (hand dyed yarn from Etsy) and although it's finished, the colors bled during the blocking and it doesn't fit right because of tight tension so i really should frog and knit it again... i'm too sad to do that yet. my advice is don't be too stubborn or prideful to NOT FROG when you need to! aggressive blocking doesn't fix everything. just frog and start over when you can... i love my chiaogoo interchangeable needles- i wish i got them sooner. i have a lot of fixed circulars as well.

I wish I had found you when I first started knitting years ago! I felt really discouraged as a beginner, so I would go through periods where I would knit, knit, knit, knit really complicated patterns and then I'd burn myself out and really dislike the craft. Burn out can be so easy in fiber crafts, so what I like to do now is find a pattern/project that I'm super excited for, but also have one to the side that may just be a garter stitch to keep my fingers moving without having to pay too much attention to the pattern. Also interchangeable needles completely changed my life!!

You are SO clever. I knitted a huge Doctor Who scarf when I was young 100 stitches at the beginning, 134 at the end. Of course, part of that was my cat who chewed and sucked and even bit through the unfurling yarn (ick!) and also liked to bite the end of the needle and quickly drag it out of the knitting (most of the problems were picking up too many stitches), but yarn over is definitely a minor cause, thanks.

On the subject of interchangeable needles you might want to mention Do not leave your needle tips in work your setting aside. Place a needle tag on the cord, unscrew the tips and put end caps on. I have 4 sets of interchangeables because I have 14 hibernating projects with my needles still in them! Crazy I know, but I Joe's in full on when I was a new knitter. I knew knit & Purl, so I thought I could handle any pattern. I have a lot of beautiful and expensive yarn tied up in hibernating projects. I love your tips and you are fun to listen to.

Thank you for the videos. I'm a new knitter, but an old crocheter. Already knew about interchangables because I enjoyed tunisian crochet and have several hooks and lines in different lengths. Will be getting a few needles to go with these. I'm also a weaver on a rigid heddle loom, so my yarn stash is rather extensive. Especially in fingering to aran weight yarns. Knitting is going to give me a new way of using up my stash (or adding more)

These are all amazing tips! I used your videos to learn how to knit and pearl over the Thanksgiving break, so helpful! So glad I found this channel. I will be using all these tips. I've made two hats so far (with a lot of accidental stitches and holes haha). Thank you!

Bamboo needles were so good for me as a new knitter and they really do help with feeling like you can control the yarn. I still use wood needles as my primary needles just out of personal preference.

I just want to thank you so much for your awesome channel. My mum taught me knitting when I was a teen but I never really got into it - then this year in quarantine (here in Aus we are still locked down :( ) I have picked it back up - but my mum lives on the literal opposite side of the world. Your channel has been the greatest help in re-solidifying my foundation and building up my confidence and skills (I'd say I'm intermediate now!) and my mum is so proud of me; we feel bonded through knitting even though we're half a world apart and won't be able to visit for a long, long time.
