Knitting Help - Slow Motion Wrap & Turn, Picking up Wraps

Wraps & Turns (w&t) are a way of shaping our knitting. In this video I demonstrate traditional w&t and picking up wraps in slow-motion.

The sweater on the mannequin is my Women's Zippered Letterman's Jacket, pattern and video tutorial:

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky. The needles are Knitter's Pride Ginger from an interchangeable set.

You can see my other slow-motion videos here:

Seeing this in slow motion makes all the difference. Thanks

This is the best W&T video I've found. The best part is where you look at the knit side to find the wrap on a purl side. I've been struggling with the purl side pick up and this is genius! First time making socks and I am happy now! THANKS!!

Thank you so much!! Has been almost 30 yrs since I last picked up needles & my daughter found a pattern she asked if I could make for her. At first glance looked simple enough; lol, then came the wrap & turn shoulder and neck shaping...I was stumped. Not something my Gran taught me, so ever so grateful for this video...you’re teaching an old dog new tricks😉💛

Your channel is my absolute favorite when it comes to knitting. Explanations are clear, lighting is on point, close-up is super useful and you have a great, fun personality - what not to love?! Thank so much for sharing your knowledge on YT - I always come back to you whenever I need an advice because you pretty much adressed every question I would ever asked! x Davie

Working wrp-t with 6inch 2.25 needles was challenging to say the least, but understanding the anatomy of short rows wrp-t via your tutorial was no doubt a found treasure. Thank you. I think I may conquer this Toad I'm making after all.

Slo-mo made all the difference in the world! I think I want to watch all my tutorials in slo-mo now!😀

[robingasser]

Thank you SO much for a slo-mo on the w&t short row. I especially love your voice overs for instruction—very clear and very helpful!

I love your videos for knitting tutorials. I am trying a pattern with wrap and turn stitches so was glad to find your tutorial for this stitch.

This is incredibly helpful and much better than slowing down the speed of other videos which also slows down the audio. You chose a good speed as well. Thank you.

Happiness is your slow motion videos. Bless you!!

[kadiewatters]

Thank you so much! Im currently working on knitting a bunny and I was so confused when I was asked to do this type of stitch. You explained it perfectly!

[patriciaphythian]

This is so much fun! I came here to learn this because I’m going to have to use this in a sweater I’ll be knitting. All these years I’’ve been hearing about wrap and turn and picking up wraps like it should be avoided like the plague. You made it so easy. I’ve been practicing
on a a watch doing both increasing and decreasing short rows. I’ll never fear W&T again. Thank you

[beverlydelgiudice]

Thank you for this slow mo demo. I use the wrap stitch often, especially on socks because it does not leave a seam and makes the socks more comfortable but I do fine it a difficult stitch and sometimes frustrating. Nice to be affirmed that my struggle is real. Great job. Your first wrap video is how I learned the stitch. Thanks for all your videos.

Hiii VeryPink!
I just wanted to say I’ve watched your videos for years and I don’t think I’ve ever left a comment before. All that just to say, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. You & your videos have helped me through SO many projects over the years. ♥️

[Ms.Murchison]

I'm doing my first top-down sweater, and this video guided me through the short row shaping. Thank you!

[marymann]

Staci, thanks again for such concise, informative videos! I always turn to you when I have questions. Thank you!!

[ThuyLe-vekz]

I’m new to knitting and your videos are so helpful, especially the slo-mos.

[elizabeththomas]

Slow motion explains this really well, thank you. 🤗

[patbedford]

For me, when learning a new stitch like this it is easier for me to see slo-mo. Then when I've done it before but need a refresher I like to see normal speed to remember how to insert my needle the correct way and which way to wrap. I use both speeds. Thank you.

[kathycooper]

The technique demo is very helpful, Staci. Thank you! I really benefitted from seeing the slow mo of your Flicking Method Of knitting also. I’ve almost got it down, and this is the icing on the cake... for learning!!!
