You are the only one so far that has explained that the needle size is measured TIP TO TIP. You explain things a little better, with extra details, than others. thank you!

I was really intimidated by knitting (I'm a crocheter) but I found a nice hat pattern for my partner who's about to go through chemo and with your tutorials I was able to get the hang of it in a few hours. Thank you!

You really are a great instructor. Your instructions are very clear and concise. You give great instruction for those considering knitting, but hesitate because they think they can't do it.

I'm not a beginner anymore but I never skip anything in the videos marked for beginners because there's always something, a tip/hack that I was aware so far or I forgot about it. Thank you, Davina, for always being super informative and making knitting so easy and such a fun thing to do.

You are amazing I’ve tried so hard to find a video to show me how to knit in the round . I considered myself a circular needle loser. Im making preemie hats for my local NICU and there are patterns that require circular needles. Your video and your teaching methods are exemplary! I’m going to try and make a preemie hat! Thank you so much and the babies who get a hat thank you! I will follow all your videos. I think I will no longer be a loser!

Thankyou so much for teaching me how to knit. A couple of years ago, I learned the basics from your videos (straight knitting) which I knit a couple of baby blankets from and 3 seamed cardigans. I'm so thankful that you never make anyone feel uncomfortable for not already knowing stuff. Also I definitely love the colour and the chunky texture of the yarn you're using in this video.

That final tip is a lifesaver. I tried knitting a hat (twice) with circular needles that were simply too long and I was confused why the size turned out so wonky. Now I know I was just using the wrong materials! You helped me restore a little faith in my knitting abilities lol

Hi, Thank YOU! 2 years ago I started knitting again ( mainly sweaters for the doll of my granddaughter) and now I am ready for a next challenge: circular knitted sweater for my granddaughter. I was actually a bit overwhelmed at first, but thanks to your video I feel more confident to start it up! Will let you know how it goed 🙂

@marshastrand2590 4 ай бұрын

You are really great at explaining, going slowly, using thicker needles so it's easier to see, and repeating. Some of the other knitting tutorial videos indicate they're for beginners but they explain as though you're not, as though they forgot what it was to be a beginner!! You seem to understand that beginner means beginner. Thanks so much!!

I'm a brand new, self-taught knitter. The website I've been using prefers almost exclusively double-pointed needles but I just got my first (sample) set of circular needles yesterday and was excited to try them out. Thank you for showing me how! (I also now know I need a shorter set!)

New to knitting. Granddaughters 6 and 8 made bamboo needles for me and gave me yarn and taught me last Christmas. I have made two scarves for myself and a scarf each for my three kitties, two medium large blankets that just cover me. Now I just learned to purl yesterday and am doing quite well. I would love to make a real blanket. I am guessing the round is the only way. I do have a large needle round. I saved your videos and found them informative and easy to understand for me. Thank you.

I’ve knitted in the round several times now (thanks to some older videos of yours), but I still loved watching this video because there’s something about how you specifically knit that is weirdly soothing to watch 😂😅 Also, that twisted piece from the twisted cast on set up actually inspired a new project for me! So cool!!!

You are absolutely darling!! I’ve picked up knitting after setting it down 40 years ago (yeah I’m old as dirt) and have forgotten a lot of things and so I’ve been watching KZfaq videos. I watched your one on Getting Guage and it was really good. “Have you got gauge?”, you said and I laughed out loud. I have subscribed to your channel and you are now my new favorite! I need to look through all of your videos, but do you do tutorials on projects? I want to knit my first sweater after a lot of years and you would be fun to follow. If not, consider it! You are simply the best. Thanks for a good time! Cindy SLC
