BEST Italian bind off video! Thank you❤
BEST Italian bind off video! Thank you❤
Ah! thank you so much!! so glad it was helpful.
Thank you Helen. That was the best explanation of that bind off I have seen. Extremely clear instructions and camera work.
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you found it useful, and thank you for such lovely positive feedback.
Great visuals. Liked seeing the method up close. Very thorough explanation. Thank you.
You're welcome, so glad it was useful!
Thank you! You make it look doable!
It totally is!!! please give it a try they are by far the easiest short rows!!
Very good❤❤
Thank you! so glad you liked it! it's my favorite cast on for ribbing!
I find this very hard to follow. It’s not for a beginner! Doesn’t explain stitches at all. I’m very disappointed!
Ah I'm so sorry you are disappointed. If it's any help you can use the settings to slow the video down on any sections you find hard, or I'm always willing to try and help if there's anything you find particularly challenging.
Pretty!!
Thanks!
Thank you. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Enjoy!
Thank you for your detailed explanation of this stitch.
You're most welcome! I hope you enjoy using it!
Very clear instruction about the neck shaping , thank you❤
You're welcome, so glad you found it helpful!
I loved your explanation of the stitch, I have a question. How do you travel the yarn for the stitch through the rows if it were knit it in the round?
Not quite sure what you mean..do you mean how do you work row 2 on the RS? if so you can work the stitches together with (k1, yo k1, yo, k1) or using purl which just changes the direction of the swirl if that makes sense...let me know if that helped...
I am excited to make the shawl. Your video is wonderful it’s close that I can actually see the stitches see what you’re doing the speed is fine. I’ve always been intimidated on knitting a shawl but I have confidence after watching your tutorial. Thank you so much
That's so amazing to hear! I do hope you make it!!
Thank you👌🏽God Bless
you're so welcome.
can i use AZULES 420yd Skein Malabrigo BABY SILKPACA Alpaca & Silk x-SOFT LUXURY YARN ?
I don't see why not. 420 yds should enough, and it sounds gorgeous! do you mean because you will hold it double as the malabrigo silkpaca is a lace weight? should work just fine.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thanks Helen, this was really helpful!
You're welcome!! so glad you found it useful
Bellissimo questo punto
Thank you! Enjoy!
Excellent explanation, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! best short rows ever!
When you've done the first section once im not sure how you carry the yarn mc up the side when you're not using it
Do the same carrying technique, but instead of swapping the colors, just continue with MC. your CC should get trapped between the first and second stitch of every rs row. Hope that helps! Get back to me if it doesn't make sense!
Thank you for this tutorial. ❤
You're welcome, enjoy!
Gourdgeous little creations! Thank you so much (and apologies for the pun!)
LOL!!! love the pun, made my day! Enjoy the tutorial!
these are adorable and so perfect for fall🍂
Thank you!

Oh, là, là, je viens de tout regarder consciencieusement, c'est tellement bien expliqué et moi qui n'achète pas de modèle en anglais car j'ai peur de ne pas m'en sortir mais votre vidéo est tellement bien expliquée que c'est un bonheur de la regarder et le motif de ce châle est simple et tellement joli (enfin du point jersey, la plupart sont en point mousse et perso, je ne raffole pas de ce point trop ennuyeux) . Je ne connaissais pas vos créations mais je vais m'y pencher sur ravelry. Grand Merci 🤗

This was the best knitting tutorial I’ve seen for knitting!! I crochet and knit but have been in a knitting binge lately and this will be my next shawl!!! Ty ty thank you so much!!!❤❤❤
Ah thank you! I hope you give it a try
Thank you so much for this really good tutorial! I used to knit before having a stroke. I have fairly good control of my hands again but am on a waiting list for cataract surgery so I am delighted that you explained so patiently what you were doing, as well as demonstrating each stitch. I truly believe that if I follow your video I will be able to make this beautiful shawl, having feared my knitting and crocheting hobby was no longer viable. God bless you! New subscriber Vera in Northern Ireland ❤
Hello Vera! I'm so excited to hear you might get back into knitting! I hope your surgery goes well and you'll give the shawl a try!!
Looks like an awesome pattern!
Thank you! glad you like it!
