Barbara, you are an excellent teacher. You talk in detail and are very clear on everything you are saying. I am new to knitting and these clear instructions are really helpful.

This video helped me soooo much to understand how stitches work. Thank you, Barbara. 👍🏻

Your explanations are always so clear and easy to digest. My understanding of knitting keeps growing with your guidance. Thank you so much!

I learn something new every time I listen to you. :)

I just love your channel! You explain everything so thoroughly & you make me understand, so that I'm not afraid to try new things! 😊

I love all your ideas for eyelets, drop st, cable and it really helps to have a grasp of the physics involved, your comments are so great and intelligent ... grateful to find you. About 5 years ago I bought some $$$ yarn with sequins, bamboo, acrylic and I put I think 3 sts each side of seed border on st st 10 or 12" and I wanted a knockout fashion statement, made it VERY long, down to the ground. I wasn't paying any attention to it as it grew in length it turned into a tube. When I was done, it was a total small tube. The sparkles made it quirky but I didn't like wearing this snake. Well maybe someone on eBay would like it? No one. I donated it to the local homeless shelter reluctant to let go of my yarn or all that work. SO all your points are well taken and I will experiment gladly now that I understand it better. I love the simplicity of st st but also it shows every tension variance and surely every mistake.

Oh !! That you so much !!. I had made a scarf and put k.p.k.p on edge and it did curl. I now know I should've put a drop st in between. !! Thank you !!! Love your tutorials!!!

Love your videos! I've been knitting a while, an advanced knitter I guess, but I always still learn something from your videos! I never thought of dropping stitches at the end to make a ladder! I'm a huge drop stitch fan. Gonna have to put that in a design somewhere.

That dropped stitch trick..!! wow, its like magic

When I was learning to knit these answers were not available to us of course we are talking the 60’s, this is amazing Maybe I Can learn to love knitting! Thank you!!!!

Thank you for your wonderful videos! I really appreciate how well you express yourself every time! Thanks again from Italy 😊 ... sometimes I listen to your videos just to hear you talk 😅 ...but I end up learning something new every time😊

Dear! Thx! Very well xplained! There are seaaeral kinds to beware from curling, yours is so fine! Be blessed! Yours, Gonny

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you😘❤

Thank you for this video. I now understand the curling issue of stockinette.

No wonder!!!!!! Thanks, Barbara! Now I know what to look for in patterns as well. Or if I see curl, I now know I need to add a little edging so it doesn’t! 👍🏻🧶

Hi Barbara, thank you for this video. It's very informative. I am in the process of knitting in the round a poncho. I am going to use the garter St. For the bottom. I am glad to know that this will work. Also adding some garter ridges throughout the body of poncho , to tie in with the ending garter stitches. Thank you so much for all your videos. They are very helpful to me.

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you

Thank you for your sharing. I learn a lot from your explanation. 🙏❤️

What an eloquent breakdown, thank you!

I love your tutorials ! Thank you very, very much.! I saw & I can’t remember where, the knitter crocheted a very narrow border alternating, FP & BP, either sc or FPdc.

thank you for the simple answer to a complicated problem

Good information...as always. I’ve been knitting and crocheting off snd on...definitelON now, and I had no clue about the different sizes of the two sides created by Good Gruef! Who would have guessed?

Great information. Thank you.

Wow, thanks for explaining why. Wow! [By the way, I love your hair pulled up/back.] ~Marie

In addition to the main information thanks for the carpet tip

Thanks Barbara!

Thank you for your excellent explanations🧶💥💓

I'd never heard of dropping a stitch. I'll have to give it a try sometimes.

Thank you this is so helpful.

Thank you for all this useful information. I like the idea of the cabled edging. Talking about cables have I missed you making a podcast about how to avoid cable flare on the bottom of say a sweater?

Love this thanks

Thanks for this helpful discussion, Barbara. I have a sister who’s been knitting over 50 years and she eonce told me to slip the first stitch of every row when doing stockinette to reduce rolling. Have you ever heard that suggestion?

Thanks Barbara 😊 Very informative! Cheryl

My very first knitting project ever was a scarf in just stockinette stitch. Of course it curled. I thought I did something wrong and ripped the whole thing out and, naturally, did it again. Now, 20 years later I like to think I know what I'm doing. :D

Thank you for sharing😊

Lindo seus trabalhos😍

Design is right I'm doing a doll dress 2 Garter rows already curled I can't stand it what cast on is the best a crochet cast on? Thanks 😊💜

Wow now I get it👍

I’m a sponge! Love learning how other ppl knit and their thought processes. As a left handed knitter, I’ve come to the conclusion that the angle of my stitches is just not the same as right handed knitters. So learning new things is not always cut and dry. I’ve definitely learned more about the construction itself of each stitch, taking it apart, turning it around in my head and most of all, lol, putting yarn to needle and trying to make things work for me. I enjoy your clear cut matter of fact approach to teaching, so thank you!

Thank you! For your viewers who want to learn about different fabrics, check out Barbara Walker’s Knit an Afghan. She describes how each fabric reacts and gives the reader lots of information on many different stitch patterns.

Very interesting video, thank you. Super useful. xxJane

Still being very new to knitting, thank you so much for clarifying between the stockinette stitch and the garter stitch (flat vs round). It completely makes sense now. The selvedge edge is another matter, I have heard and seen the term before but never really quite grasp to the technical portion of it. I will have to do research and read up on this. By chance have you covered selvedge edge stitches in a video? Thank you so much for educational experience, this is most helpful.

QUestion. Am knitting a sweater in the round. Even witth the ribbing, it wants to curl. So i have decided remove the ribbing. So, is there a way to, limit the curl? Should i do a few rows on a larger or smaller needle. I don't want it to roll all the way up like a cartoon skit. How to limit the curl edge.

You can experiment with just using the fact that stockinette curls and have a curled edge. My first scarfs curl and I just wear them and enjoy them. I also use the curling of stockenette stitch when constructing hats. If a band or bit of fabric is knit flat and then joined, if the band or bit of fabric is joined going against the curve, the hat can have a nicer shape.

I am an intermediate knitter. I have a question: Can you offer a kit with KAL video, I will be the first to purchase it. Following a pattern and not making mistakes is the challenge for me

Wished this video was around years ago.

Thank you! Looks like I'm ripping out my scarf! Ugh! At least now I know.....

Why aren’t i getting notices from you

Wish I had watched this months ago! I have some hopeless items. 😕
