Finally someone else!!! I haven't purled in 20 yrs. . The only thing I do different is transfer my yarn to the right hand and after inserting the left needle into the back, i simply lift the yarn thet is between my first 2 fingers over towards the front ...I can knit backwards way faster than purling..the only time I cant is if its a ribbed row, my brain can not handle that at all..love your videos. I especially liked the Hygge socks.

Thank you so much for this video and the written instructions! I had tried 3 times already to knit a small blanket and it looked so bad, it became that unravelled pile of yarn you showed! 😆 Knitting backwards is the best, I had never thought to do that before, but I can see how much better it made my project look as my tension can get a bit out of whack when knitting and purling, especially with chenille. Your tips definitely saved me and I was able to knit a lovely little blanket for a friend. Thank you! 😊

You are a lifesaver! I've been wrestling with some chunky/bulky chenille for a few days trying to get it to cooperate and become a scarf, and I just couldn't get it to look like anything. Now I feel like I've got a better handle on how to do right by it and make it better. Many thanks!

I wish you could see my face when you knit backwards. I've been knitting for 23 years and never even thought about doing that.

[nicolearguin]

Thank you. I’m returning to knitting after a 25 year break. My daughter wants a chenille blanket made for Xmas. For the past week I have been struggling so much but this helped me greatly. She may not have it by Xmas but she’ll get it once I get more comfortable and my work doesn’t look so sloppy. Tension is now my focus.

[barbaraholdeman]

Awesome! I hate purling so I’m definitely going to give this a try! Could you tell me how many yards of yarn you need for this project??? Thanks so much!

[redredwine]

A new skill to learn. Thanks for sharing, very helpful info

[bmtndog]

Did Iceyarns go out of business? I love your video and you have inspired me to make this blanket. I love the yarn you used and wanted to buy some but the website is not cooperating for me. Thank you for sharing your fun video!

I don’t know if I missed but how much stitches do you need?

[nybennie]

Great video! You have such a nice way of explaining things. I'm working with chenille for the first time and making a bed jacket. I did a swatch in stockinette as that is the main stitch in my pattern. My gauge was spot on by going down a needle size. But, the pattern starts with a bottom garter stitch border and by the time I got to the third row it looked like it was going to be way too big! Question: Due to the nap and slippage with chenille yarn, do you have to pull tighter when you knit to get even stitches?

[terryriley]

Haven't seen your channel in a while, since you moved. Are you not crocheting any longer?

[amyhuang]

Thank you!! Amazing tutorial! I’m a bit confused about the tension tip #2 tho cause I’m using single point straight needles. Does the tip #2 apply to the straight needles too?

[khadijasafdar]

Can you please share the amount of castings that you did?🙃

[colleensmith]

Wow, such a great video... thank you so much

[angeliquegreen]

why can I not get to your blog for the life of me...i have tried going to it thru the link from google, i have then gone to this video and tried the link here, i have manually typed the web address in and then finding the post ..and everytime all that appears is actually nothing, just a blank white screen with no loading anywhere of any

[fannyrose]

J'adore cette laine 😍le rendu est superbe par contre très fragile pour faire un noeud😵, je fais beaucoup de peluches avec. 😘

[BirdsEye]

Very nice. There was an invitation to come to my house

[godisincontrol]

The joining knot idea is so clever! Subscribed!

[TheMsAjr]

I watched this whole video and I don't know how to knit. Amazing work and very beautiful! I may have to get some needles and yarn.

[Olga_in_IAH]

not a very good explanation. Here you show how to begin and boom...you already have a blanket. Would be nice to see the actual size of the needles.
