Thank you! I’ve watched a few other videos and the steps weren’t clear enough for me to follow. I finally got it!

I'm quite sure the term 'counter' clock-wise' should be used at the beginning. Thanks for using big yarn and needles!

in the uk we say anti clockwise rather than counter clockwise

thank you, I've been doing this wrong for years, bringing the new loop through the stitch not between the stitches!

After you make the first knot/stitch, you say that that is a stitch... however there are two loops on the left needle at that point. My understanding when casting on is that the number of stitches is the number of loops- ie. if you are following a pattern and it says to cast on with a row of ten stitches, that means ten loops on the needle, not ten knots (which would result in 11 loops). Can you clarify please? :)

Any chance for a left-handed series? I can follow the basic tutorials, but as it gets more complicated they can be hard to follow for a lefty :)

Hey! Thanks so much for sharing you're thoughts with us. We will pass this onto the team :)

Hi I'm left handed and always come up against this. I would just reverse everything she does. As such instead of the right needle it's the left needle. However it would be great if there was a left handed video somewhere.

Do you cut the yarn before using or leave in the ball? The instructions in the booklet are not super helpful

Im a newbie in knitting and think casting with one needle and hand is easy and fast that this looping method.

@SorryIcantIhavebookclub 3 жыл бұрын

True but with the thumb method you cast on with the tail and not the yarn so you need to know how long you are going to need before getting on

You move the new stitch into the left needle by entering it knitwise - other vids show it being captured pearlwise. Why do you prefer it this way? Knitting Newbie.

Hmm. In trying both - it doesn’t seem to make any difference to the result, and knitwise does feel like an easier transfer. :)

Is it possible to pull the wool from the centre of the ball?

@wj98983 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, when you get that next ball of yarn, the loose end will be stuck into one side. But also check that side for a loose end that comes OUT of that hole instead of going around the ball.

Ok how do we do the second row???

@SorryIcantIhavebookclub 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, this is not a row technically speaking but the cast on edge so the second one is your first row and depends on which pattern you are going to create.

Why so many tutorials for the same technique for right handed and non for left ??????

I learned myself to knit with both hands using the Backwards or Mirror technique! There are a few videos on KZfaq. Hope that helps :)

I think you'll find that the majority of tutorials on here say to use the *_working yarn_* end to pull through the loop when you create the slip knot. Then you pull the working yarn end to tighten stitches. 🙄
