Some people can teach and some can't - you are a GREAT teacher! Perfect explanation- thank you sooooo much!

Thank you for this explanation. No one explains these details as perfectly as you do. Your videos are perfectly clear and easy to follow. I certainly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us. Rachel S.

I am in the process of making my very first cardigan and will be watching this on repeat so that hopefully my neckline will look half as good as that!! 🥴 I love your tutorials thank you so much for taking the time to make them!!!

I refer back to your videos every time I'm working on a sweater. My eyes have a hard time distinguishing stitches when it's time to pick up and knit. I made my very first cardigan with a button band thanks to you.

One of the best tutorials I've viewed. Your instructions are so clear and your camera technique makes it so easy to see and follow. Thank you for making these!

I'm a self taught knitter who's only come to knitting in later life with the advent of grandchildren. This video is absolutely brilliant. It's so detailed and has enabled me to pick up and knit the stitches for a collar, making a join that's all but invisible. Something I can be proud of. The only downside now is that I want to go back and redo all previous pieces! Thank you so much.

My grandmother taught me to knit and she passed away after years ago. No one ever taught me to pick up stitches properly. Thank you so much for this video!

Hi Suzanne, I am so glad that I watched your video. I finished a sweater and was read to pick up and knit the neckline in a 1x1 rib. Your video was very clear and I didn't have any trouble with picking up the right stitches. Thank you so much. Your instructions are outstanding.

I'm so grateful I found you. I do knitting very rarely because I'm afraid I will come out with very difficult stitches. Today I went with three youtube knitters and was unable to get stitch. Watched you for a second and wow!!!! Right away my brain lighted up. Got it on first try. Thank. From now on only one person; YOU. I"LL BE KNITTING MUCH MORE. THANK YOU.....BLESSINGS.

Thank you Very much... your tuts are most helpful and easy to remember because you take the time to explain each step as well as guiding on the Do's and Dont's... This is a 5 Star Quality video tutorial ☆☆☆☆☆

Bravo. Saving this video to review every time I have to pick up (oops! pick up and knit) stitches.

I always look for your video's on what I need to brush up on and am amazed at how easy you are to watch and learn from. It is much appreciated

As always, Suzanne, you are a lifesaver! I hate the frustration that comes without knowing why stuff happens wrong and how to make it right...this way I get it right the first time!!! THANKS!

You have a great knack for conveying instructions and the tone of your voice is reassuring throughout the video. Very easy to listen to and follow your advice. Thanks so much.

This is fabulous! I have picked up stitches incorrectly for years and been so disAppointed in my garment. You have a great teaching style!

Love the clarity of your teaching on this subject! I have put off finishing two sweaters because it looked bad and I had to rip it out twice already. Now I am ready to try again with this new knowledge. Thank you

Brilliant...I love learning and I've been knitting for over 40 yrs...always something new to learn!

You are the SUPERSTAR among the expert knitter, clearly explained and illustrated. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 🌹🌹🌹

Thank you!!. I had been picking up neckline stitches using the cast off stitches!!!

Another great tutorial! I'm working on a sweater at the moment and your videos are so helpful for me. Thank you very much!

Thanks for clarifying this for me, in order to properly pick up stitches for sleeves, etc!! Great video & instructions!!

Hi Suzanne, decided at the last minute to check out this video again, just to be sure, as I started the neckband on a sweater. Glad I did! Thanks for making the best technique videos ever!!

This is amazing! ❤️ Thank you so much for recording this video and sharing your knowledge. 🙌🏼🎉

Really clear explanation. I’ve been scared to ad lib picking up stitches, but will be following your approach from now on. No more holes!

This is SO helpful!!! I have always been spooked by this phase of sweater-making, and have avoided making sweaters because of it.... No longer!!! I am about to wet-block sweater pieces according to your instructions in a different tutorial, and feel confident about having a good experience with picking up stitches around the neckline - thanks much!!!

Vero useful! I never used a gauge for this and i will from now on! Thank you Susanne!!!

Hello from România! Thankyou sooo much for helping me learn how to knit. Since i discovered your tutorials, i keep returning to them every time i start a new project. You are a brilliant teacher! Bless you!

Brand new knitter here, and this tutorial was *so* helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you Suzanne! You are a wonderful teacher!! And I have learned so much about fixing things I didn't know how to handle.

You are the best! I’ve learned so much from your clear and informative videos. Whenever I have a knitting question or problem I search for your videos first! Thank you!!

After 61 years of knitting, I am STILL learning. Thanks, Suzanne!

You are the best teacher I have found in thousands of videos I have watched. You explain everything so well! Your videos are so clear and helpful! OMG! I am so happy I found you! I already subscribed of course. Thank you so much for taking your time to teach with such a patience. ❤

This is the best video I have seen for picking up stitches on a neckband. I love it. I am a self taught knitter (starting at age 41) and a perfectionist, so I really struggle with things like this (and shoulder seaming). I go to a local knitting store once a week for help with my knitting. When I ask the store owner about a different technique for something, such as shoulder seams without the stair step, or left leaning and right leaning decreases, she says "you've been watching youtube videos again haven't you?" I haven't been able to go to her store for 4 weeks because NSW went into total lockdown. I am so glad I found this video. I have been struggling with how to finish off a jumper for my grandson for nearly 4 weeks. The store owner told me how to knit up stitches, but the way she told me, I just didn't get it. I finished my first jumper in May this year and she very kindly sewed it up for me in the end because I was so frustrated I was ready to give up knitting for good, and she also knew how important that jumper was to me, because it was for my grandson. This video will also help me finish off a cardigan I knitted for my grandson almost a year ago.

Thank you! You are a great teacher! I have learned a lot since I found your site.

Excellent instructions. Good voice of yarn and colour to instruct with, it’s very pleasing to the eye and easy to decipher exactly what you are doing.

I always learn so much from you, Suzanne! Thank you so much. 😊

Thank you Suzanne! I learn so much with your videos

Absolutely perfect 👌🏽 You’re a natural at teaching 💓

I am a self taught knitter. No one I know knits. I have been knitting since a young girl, but I have not knit a sweater! Kind of scared. I have a sweaters quantity waiting. I am watching your tutorials learning a lot, thank you.

I'm probably not quite ready for this but, thank goodness for KZfaq. I will be ready sooner because of you. Thanks for posting.

Thank you... you do such a good explanation with great patience. I appreciate your videos so much. Have found you while I've been working on a cardigan for my great grandchild... first time making a cardigan--you have been very helpful and we're all pretty appreciative as I read the comments! Blessings.

Brilliant. I learned so much from this. So many gems in your videos. Thank you so much! ❤

I a about to embark on a new pickup and knit project and I am looking all over to see which instructor does it the way I need to get it done and I love your instructions,thanks a lot I am feeling confident right now.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm picking up stitches for my first sweater neck, and learned where and how to pick up stitches by watching your video. My stitches for the flat part are totally invisible, like you said they would be, and your advice about calculating the number of stitches around the curve and along the edge of the rows was spot-on. Now I have a beautiful neckline and it's all thanks to you! So, thank you, thank you, thank you! (I'll be back to learn how to pick up the arm stitches next!)

You are an amazing teacher. Your techniques are solid and carefully delivered.

Thank you so much. I learned a lot...how to pick them up properly, and I've been knitting for years. Thank you again.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to finish my grandsons' sweaters.

Again another perfect video. I have just blocked my pieces before I start the neck and this video is great and I am going to follow it step by step to get a perfect neck. You are a genius and so clear everything makes sense. Thank god I found you. 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have sent a week trying to get the neck of a cardigan to look right. so many thanks for this video : -) it's so easy for a new knitter to understand x

Even if I don't know English, finally a well explained and easy to understand video thanks from Italy

I can't thank you enough for your clear, concise teaching videos. I don't always comment on each one, but I do give the "thumbs up". I always learn so much. I have picked up the bound off edge and wondered why those stitches ended up between the column.

Thank you so much for showing me how 'not' to have holes around my neck line, and also letting me know how to work out how many stitches to pick up, which may not necessarily be what the patter states. You are awesome.

Thank you for this tutorial and all others. Clean and simple directions.

Thank u s much. I was about to pick up and knit without blocking, so I will do just that before proceeding.

That was so helpful.. Thanks.. Your work is so perfect!

Great video just what I was looking for. Loved that your explanations explained why you were doing what you were doing with the right amount of information not too little or too much for a beginner like me.

Beautiful demonstration once again Suzanne. I'm about to add ribbing to a top down sweater that didn't have a ribbed neckline but I think needs one. Thanks for your video.

This us exactly what I needed. Truly exquisite explanation. Thank you a million❤❤❤❤❤❤

I found this very useful and love how my neck rib rises seemingly seamlessly out from the neckline.

Thanks Suzanne, this is really helpful!! 😊

Thanks for your clear instruction. Really appreciated!

I want to get into knitting to knit my boyfriend a sweater and socks for Christmas, I've never been so excited to learn about something! Im only 18 but i love crafts, self made clothes, etc. You've made it so easy and wonderful to learn. Btw i take several pages of notes on your instructions and techniques!😊

Brilliant work and perfect tutorial much love and many thanks🙏💕

Wonderfully done, as always!

Thank you, I enjoyed how you explained it all!

This was incredibly helpful - thank you!!

just reached the neck band of a sweater for my granddaughter and having difficulty with picking up stitches but will try this out now thank you

Thanks for sharing your expert tips! 😊😊😊

New sub here and I am so glad to learn about the technique that makes perfect sense. Thank you.

Great instructions. It is always a little worrisome to pick up stitches for collars and/or button bands hoping they fit well. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for this!!! Your tutorial is sooo helpful!!!

Thank you for this helpful video!

So very helpful ,Thankyou so much ,I have learned an enormous amount from you ,though am unable to knit in wool it’s not within budget ,but will when I am adept enough to knit presents for my family

Absolutely brilliant thank you for your teaching. Very well explained.

Thanks for sharing so much detail. Making a sweater for my grandson after many years away from knitting. I appreciate the information!

I've learned a lot from you Suzanne. I'm a self-taught knitter and appreciate all your videos!!! Often the patterns don't say anything about the little tricks that you teach to make things perfect!

Just what I needed for my project! Thank you…

Thank you for this helpful video it was filmed perfectly and is easy to follow.
