Perfect instructions, my edges look great and I really like your soft spoken teaching voice!

Thank you for this this was the third or forth Slipstich method I watched in a row and you were the first one to make it make sense with the whole slipping first stitch thank you!

❤️it! So much easier to comprehend than the other dozen videos I watched on this topic. I actually like the open version equally as it looks 1/2 way in between and not quite as polished although a bit neater. PS: I knit with dog fur🦮😍

I always slip the last stitch instead of the first one. If you slip the last stitch, you turn and work the slipped stitch right away. This way it doesn't have a change to hang on the needle and get stretched out of shape. Love your videos. They are so clear and really helpful

Thank you so much for answering my questions. Thank you for sharing your talent. 🌸

Thank you for such clear and concise videos.

This is the clearest demonstration of this I could find, thank you! Super helpful for a beginner like me 😊

I do enjoy watching you knit you have a lovely rhythm and watching you inspired me to teach myself to Continental knit..........thank you for excellent videos they are always a pleasure to watch

Thank you for all your videos , They have helped me a lot with my knitting .Since I am a beginner.Thanks

Thank you so much for pointing this out and for the examples!

I do the second one you showed and have been doing it for years - thanks for this video because like you said it is a little "slack" and I was looking for a way to tighten my edges up so I will try the first way you showed nice instruction - easy to understand

Greetings, Thank You so much for your knitting edges video! I'm a new knitter, just beginning. Left handed as well. I appreciate the way you taught this method of creating nice edges and how close up you demonstrated. It's a real challenge dining left handed knitting instruction but I'm going to do what you did, only, work at reversing it for my left handedness! um sure I can. Again, Thank You so much! Cheers!

Love your videos - so clear!

Love this idea much better looking edges.

Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been a so-so knitter (scarves, afghans, baby blankets) for many years and thought I needed to crochet around my work to get a “finished” edge. You explain and demonstrate beautifully! Thanks again :-)

Greetings, I meant to say, it's a real challenge "finding" left handed knitting instruction...! Thank you again!

That edging technique looks like the crochet chain in a foundation row. I think I like the pearl stitch way better. It looks cleaner. Thanks for the tutorial.

Really looks nice!

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful, & you're a good teacher. I was taught to do a selvedge stitch by knitting the first stitch of the row, purl-wise, then continuing the rest of the row, according to pattern, without doing a selvedge on the last stitch. That has given me nice rows, too. :) I have a question. (whether I slip only the first stitch or the first & last stitches)... If I have a pattern, & I want to do a selvedge stitch, do I cast on an extra stitch to slip ( or 2 for both ends); or do I simply ignore the pattern for the first stitch and, instead, slip that stitch? I hope I'm being clear. Thanks so much. :)

I would have like to have seen how you slipped the stitch when you reached the end and turned the work in your first example. I'm new to knitting and need to 'see' the process a couple of times. Thanks for your videos, they're very helpful!

Very helpful. Thanks

The open edge is suitinle for lace work knitting. Likewise, I like the braided edges.

thank you so much I can do this and it will make it easy to add a crochet border :)

Just found you and subscribed. Do you always slip the first stitch purl wise and always knit the last stitch no matter what pattern you are using? I’m new to knitting and want my edges to look really nice and not curl. Do you need to add two stitches to your pattern for a slip edge?

I do the garter stitch as purl stitches, so to do the slip stitch at the first one I do it in knit wise fashion, and the result is the same as yours.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well, if you 'rewind' the video, you can watch that first stitch being slipped as many times as you want ;-)

Thank you for the demo. Please could you show how would you change your colour yarn at the edge on the pink sample, thanks :)

Hey! I am also a new knitter and my question is, after I do my cast on row, I turn it and my very first row I will be doing knit stitches, so my very first stitch of that row I will be slipping purl wise, right? And then when I finish knitting my first row I turn it to the row I will be doing purl stitches, so on this row do I slip the first stitch Knit wise and then continue by purl stitching? So basically first row, slip purl wise then knit stitch my first row, then 2nd row I slip knit wise and then purl stitch my 2nd row? Thank you so much for any help u can offer! I've searched everywhere for this question with no answer.

thanks for the video you did a great job. anyway can i start slipping the first stitch from the very first row? thank you in advance!

Hi Great video. I have a question, I am doing a double moss pattern, can i still slip 1st knitwise and purl last stitch with every row? Sometimes the second stitch ( after slip stitch) is a knit stitch and sometimes it is a purl stitch, the same with the end, sometimes the stitch before the last stitch (before purl last stitch) is a knit and sometimes it is a purl stitch. will it make a difference? In your video all your stitches are knitting between the slip stitches. Thank you

How about starting? Does the first stitch of the cast on row get slipped as well?

Can I ask what kind of bind off method you use? Mine never matches the other 3 edges. It always curls forward instead of running neatly across the top and matching the other 3 sides.

if you're working on a row of purl, do you slip in the exact same way? also, if you're doing basket weave, how do you slip it without getting a bump in the transition row? thanks!

hi friend can we do this for stackinet stitch. I want to do a stackinetscarff. if we do like this does it prevent the curling please ans if it not works in prevent curling I will do a seed stitch boarder. just I have seen on other video of u thank u friend I love ur videos

Do you add 2 stitches to your stitch count to accommodate for the slipped stitches? Please someone let me know, I am so new to trying to create a nice edge, any help would be appreciated.

I am a beginner and knitting I'm trying to understand how to do a square

I have made a mistake and have unknitted to the slip stitch. How do I unknit a slip stitch with the yarn in the front as a purl stitch?

My instructions read: Cast on 100 sts. 1st to 200 rows incl: Sl 1, k across. This is a blanket that has a border to it. Should the slip stitch be done purl wise with the yarn in front and then put the yarn to the back to knit across? The pattern does not say.

I'm a beginner knitter, would I have to add and extra stitch on each end?

v good tutorials tq pm

Do you repeat that for the second row as well or do you reverse the second row and slip the first stitch knit wise and purl the last stitch ... if you know what I mean. I just tried it and I didn't think mine came out right. I make my selvedge edge a little bit different that's why I wanted to see what happened if I did it this way. I don't slip the first stitch. I slip the LAST stitch. I don't keep track of whether I do it knit or purl because it doesn't matter. I always do it as if to purl and then I just flip the yarn and KNIT the stitch and just knit the row and it's all perfect. I just wanted to share that with you.

Hello, I am a beginning knitter and was wondering if this technique would be useful when knitting a basic stockinette stitch scarf so the edges wouldn't look so unfinished. Thank you for your tutorials : )

I'm a beginner. Are you doing the slip stitch on a pearl row? Do you do it on every row?

I knit english style and am confused about "holding the yarn in the front" to slip purlwise because the yarn's already in the front to purl english style. Are you giving that instruction because the yarn's in the back during continental purling? If yes, then will I need to position my yarn in the back (opposite of usual english purl)? Thanks for any help.

Hello ! Good video Thanks ! How do you do for stockinette stitch please ? thanks ♥

❤

hi! what size are your needles?

how many stitches would I need for a dishcloth?
