Knitting Help - Slow Motion Flicking

My other flicking videos:

You can see the slow-motion playlist here:

The scarf I'm working on is Uknity (not my design), more info here:
The needles I'm using are Knitter's Pride Ginger from an interchangeable set:

I love that your dogs interrupted. It's nice to know it's not just my dog that lies still and quiet UNTIL I need her to be quiet. It's like I pick up a telephone call and instead of saying 'hello' I have said 'release the hounds'

[diggingmeditations]

Okay. If this is the video that helps me crack the code I will cry tears of joy!

I love puppy interrupted videos from home!

Love the dog input. Especially the stealth run around the side of the house behind your back… Thanks for all your great videos and the added dog fun!

I love your home videos especially with dog noise 🐶❤️🐶

I love knitting this way. My knitting was so slow before but then I found your channel through that interview you did with knitting tips by judy and now I love it. Only thing I have to work on are dpn's

[betchai]

Very helpful, especially the levering action of the right needle. I never realized that was part of the technique! Thank you!

I love making dish cloths when I learn something new in knitting Thank you for the slow motion videos

[carollee]

I always love to see your videos pop up. I refer people to your videos for techniques you have the best ones if I am trying to learn a stitch or techniques. I use to drop the needle and wrap that is how I learned but you taught me to be a flicker and that is what I do exclusively and it is much faster I have short fingers so I can’t tension the yarn like you do over my first finger but I have learned to make it work so I can flick and still working on flicking for colorwork the yarn in one hand right now I do 1 in each hand. I have seen lots of podcasters that flick and say they learned from your videos

I will be making dish clothes until I master this. The slo-mo helped so much. Thank you❣️

My daughter has tried to show me how she knits with the flicking method. We were missing one step. How the right hand needle is moved to a position to catch the yarn. Thank you for filling in this last detail. Great in slow motion to see all and you talking it through also.

Since I knew your channel few years ago I noticed how easy you way of knitting was, so I tried it and I liked it! Now I know that it has a name too :) thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, you helped me alot

DOGS RULE!
the dog just makes everything you do just that much more special !

[lindaboggess]

This explains a lot! I understand what flicking is now. I taught myself to knit continental so I would knit faster and have more control of my stitches on both needles. I actually like continental knitting better but it is nice to know what the terminology is describing. Thanks for all your help!

[helenbugsynelson]

I was wondering why I hadn't seen your videos come up in my feed for awhile so I searched and realized I wasn't subscribed. That's fixed now. I am a continental knitter, but I did learn the throwing method.. It's so entertaining to get a rise out of my elderly Norwegian mother by doing things the 'wrong' way or the hard way.... I really do love my mom. She thinks I'm hopeless...a lost cause... 😌

[judythepaperlady]

Wow I didn't know I was flicking! 😊 As few do, I hold my needle in my right hand like a pencil, so my index finger loops the yarn around easily, without letting go of the needle. I just slide forward a little and loop. Thanks for your continued help and great videos!

[virginiatozier]

It absolutely helps. You do it so fast I called it the cobra strike. I may still.
The motion of the left hand is like Irish cottage knitting. Levering that right needle towards your index finger answered how in the world you finger streached so far.
Thanks, stay safe.

I have been knitting about a year now and learned everything by watching you and one other Youtuber. I love, love, love your videos. But as a dog mom myself, I LOL'd at the assistance you got during this one. As an attorney, having hearings from home with large, active, and sometimes vocal dogs...yeesh. It was nice to see I am not alone. :) Dogs will not be ignored! Love them!

As usual your videos are so helpful and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing. I tried this and although i want to convert back to throwing out of frustration, i will persevere. I find the purl stitch more challenging. If you ever have the time, a slow-mo demo on how you mastered the flicking would be great.

I am a lefty, but I knit the same as a person who is right handed in English Style. When I learned how to knit I had already been crocheting for years. The yarn was in my right hand and the hook in my left. I picked up the needles and it felt as natural as can be. And I just started to ‘flick’ from the beginning. It is in mho much faster and smoother that dropping the needle after each stitch to wrap the yarn. Great video. Hope it helps those who wish to ‘flick’.
I am not sure if I tip my right needle as you pointed out, I will check my self tomorrow when I begin my knitting for the day. Thanks for the video- loved the dogs being dogs.lol
