Thank you. I’ve been wanting to knit dish cloths and this was the easiest tutorial I’ve seen. At 76 you can still learn something new. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

THIS is absolutely the BEST example of how to knit. Your perfect description of HOW to do this, accompanied by your slowly measured and unhurried gentle movements, guide us artfully through each step. Other videos are way too quick to catch visually. YOU ARE A NATURAL at teaching! EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. THANK YOU.

Thanks for your excellent lesson 😀 I am 74 and completed my first ever knitting project 👍

This video is an absolute gem, even five years. Simple, precise, and easy to understand. I’m about halfway through my first dishcloth and this has helped me so much!

I just found this site. What a good tute!! Thanks!

I am a crocheter. I tried knitting a few different times and just couldn’t get it. Once I finally told myself that I WAS going to learn, I was determined! This is the exact pattern on why I wanted to learn; to make the same dish clothes that my grandma has made for everyone her entire life. With this tutorial, I am able to make that happen! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to surprise my grandma that I didn’t give up on knitting. ♥️

I've never knit before. This video was very easy to follow and I have just finished knitting the dishcloth, thank you for a great video.

I realize this video was posted 2.5 years ago but it is wonderful. Your explanation, your gentle voice and slow demonstration are perfect for a beginner. I see you only posted 4 videos. If you are out there please come back and post more.

I’m glad to finally see a YouTube knitter who “throws” the yarn. I’ve done it that way for 51years. It’s not fast but I can’t seem to change the way I hold the yarn. Very good tutorial!

[raspicks]

After starting over and over, I finally finished my first dishcloth. Please make more videos with more easy projects for beginners. The way you explain is just perfect. Could you make one on how to do purl. Thanks again!

You’re an awesome teacher! Easy to see what you’re doing and at a slow pace which is so helpful!! Thank you! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I have made this dishcloth something like 10 times now for gifts, personal use, etc. You do such a great job of explaining!

I have a few of these treasured dishcloths passed down from my grandmother and mom that were still intact. I now know what every sibling is getting in their Christmas stocking this year! Thank you so very much!

[kellyweber]

You are a very great teacher to those who are just learning to knit!! Thank you 😊

[MyHomesOntario]

Thank you for your carefully illustrated lesson in how to knit, cast on and make the starting slip knot. You do a wonderful job of teaching.

So far the best tutorial. I have watched about 7 tutorials & this is the best. I thank you. You are the best knitting teacher. I use to knit and Crochet but something happen that I couldn't get my hands to work in coordination. You have been the best therapy. I will continue until I get to knit the way I used to. Thank you again.

If you’re a beginner like me do yourself a favor and buy some quality cotton yarn from a local shop not the cheap peaches and cream sold at big stores. Worth every dollar I can’t believe how much easier it is to work with. I was pulling my hair out with the peaches and cream. Thanks for the great tutorial

[MaryJCrisp]

This is such an excellent instruction video. I turn to it each time just to reinforce what I think I know, and I learn something new each time. Thank you for you for posting this and helping so many.

[stefvalst-onge]

Thank you my grandma has taught me over 20 years ago and I was having a hard time getting started again you made it very easy to understand ❤️

[heatherkaye]

Your video is one of the best I've seen for learning to knit. You are slow and show exactly how the stitches are done. Thanks for the video.
