Nicely explained- slow and with good repetition and change of camera angle. The best I have found. Thank you!

You see, this is why I need videos because I tried to read about this in a book and was so confused, when this is honestly a relatively easy concept 🥴

Thank you for the video!

[kathuffman]

this is explained really well! i love the different camera angles, and the way you described it slightly differently each repetition so that people will understand at least one way of describing them!

although I am a basic knitter, I'm refreshing my mind- but this is the best video I've seen. thanks

[pallmall]

Great tutorial! I really liked how you literally zoomed in on the details of the stitches. Thanks to your vid I remember now!

[chinkysidhu]

Very well shown. Other tutorials lack this clearity. Now i actually understood where to use these stitches

[sandrabell]

How to use the decrease for left or right leaning was very helpful. Beautifully clear video from verbal and visual aspects, thank you.

Omgosh thank you so very much! I didn’t know you were to use these stitches together in a single project, I figure it was left up to choice.

Thank you so much for a very clear and helpful toturial 🌹

[lindaliebenthal]

You are very good. And you go slowly I like that

[jieyunliang]

I somehow started with 13 stitches and ended with 30 stitches without meaning it

[camille]

I’m sorry I can’t see the back loop so i can’t really do it

[LynnHermione]

That's like, the weirdest way of knitting I've ever seen o-o

[donnaquinn]

I've never seen anyone knit like that with left hand it makes it a bit fast & confusing to watch

[Okk]

why are there so many confused comments about continental knitting, borderline rude in some of them. I would have thought people understand that there are different ways to knit.

[CleverClovers]

I'm just going to keep commenting about how much I miss the grocery girls

[sirenaisle]

Way, way too fast and impossible to follow. What even is this type of knitting?
