This should be added to the Best of Barbara list! I’ve been knitting for over 50 years.

Thank you for NOT making M1, M1R and M1L harder than they have to be. I had forgotten this simple reminder " 'I left the front door open and I'll be right back"!!

[SB-thvy]

That you for this saying 'I left the front door open and I'll be right back'. This has helped me tremendously! I now don't have to continuously keep going back to videos.

[Mobuchholz]

I can’t thank you enough for this video!! I’ve literally watched so many different videos for this, and this one by far helped me the most. I have been wanting to make a pattern that has a ton of these stitches to start it out and I finally did it!!! Great video I’ll never forget R&B 😆.

[TerriShaver]

Trapping that stitch (M1R) just revolutionized my knitting today! Thank you so much!!

[pamkrupa]

You are very thorough in explaining and showing how m1r and m1l should look. You made learning these sts easy

[KimCSmith]

Barbara, thanks so much for this video. I'm knitting a stranded colorwork sweater in dk yarn and the M1Rs and M1Ls were giving me fits. Your tricks have kept me from throwing this project out in frustration!

[mariecouture]

Hi Barbara! Your tips for m1R and m1L are just amazing. I had such a hard time to enter the needle. With your tips, it is working like a charm. 😇 💜

Your tips for m1R/m1L were the best! I checked out 3 other youtube sites and you had the best lesson!

[TS-shxo]

This was, by far, the best explanation for increases I’ve ever seen! ❤❤❤ thank you soo much!! I’ve saved this video to reference when I need it 🎉

[sharle]

I have been knitting for 8 years and I had never gotten the hang of any M1R or M1L for the basic ones. I am still a beginner for the most part. This helped me big time. Thank you very much.

[jeanetteferrelli]

I very much appreciate your very clear speaking, easy to see video and straight forward complete directions. I'm making my first raglan sweater and your tips for Rhythm & Blues (M1R) and Left (M1L) was wonderful! I think I've got this step!!!

[nancyisenberg]

Thank you SO much! Your explanation made SO much sense to me! I finally understand not only how to do these increases, but also the reason for the twisted stitches! Thank you!

[Donnazc]

Your demos and explanations are so thorough, Barbara. I finally understand them without always having to look these up when knitting. Many, many thanks! ❤️

[emmaaustin]

Really clear explanation thankyou! You've improved the standard of my knitting and I love how you compared this stitch with other ways if increasing.

[nyxypyxy]

Very helpful and I will be watching this again. I'm now subscribed. I played with knitting years ago, and wound up going back to crochet. Now I'm going to increase my knitting knowledge. I'm very excited about it.

[agnesadyana]

This video help me a lot to understand for increasing and where to supposed to use it. Thank you Barbara🙏

[susanorfila]

Great lesson! I have never done the M1 right or m1 left. You explained it so well. Thank you!

[jeansavoy]

Great video..my mantra is: I left through the front door, I’ll be right back🤙🏻
