5 NEW FREE VIDEOS ON FINGERLESS MITTS


I made a long video on how to knit fingerless mitts. I planned to offer it for sale, but I changed my mind, separated it into 5 shorter videos and put them all on for free. I hope you like them and will try making these mitts. I didn't think about it, but it turned out that the videos also show how to do different techniques; the magic loop method of knitting on a circular needle, ribbing on circulars, increasing on circulars, binding off on circulars and binding off ribbing on circulars so there's really a lot of information on these 5 videos. Since this was an afterthought as I watched the finished videos I'll probably do other videos on all these techniques and go slower for beginner knitters in the future. Let me know what you think and thanks again for all your nice comments and feedback. Happy knitting!
By the way, the picture is of another pair of mitts, a different color than the ones in the demonstration. I started those with one row of a different color to give it a little pizazz!

NEW FREE VIDEO - TWISTED STOCKINETTE STITCH


I've done a new video on HOW TO KNIT THE TWISTED STOCKINETTE STITCH. This is another easy stitch, one with a little texture and simple to do. It makes your knitting a little tighter because it twists the stitches. Hope you like it. Happy Knitting!

NEW FREE VIDEO - BINDING OFF RIBBING


I've done a new video on HOW TO BIND OFF RIBBING. It's very important to bind off RIBBING with this method to get a nice stretchy edge. On this video I've also done another demonstration of how to do RIBBING. For those of you who thought my original Ribbing Video went too fast take a look at this one. I tried to go slower, but I've been knitting for so long that the needles just seem to take off on their own. I hope this video will help you learn the best way to bind off RIBBING.
Happy Knitting!
