Why I use blocking wires to block straight edge knit shawls
Think it's one of the worse tutorials I've come across
Brilliant instructions and I love the memory chart! I've done this bind off before, but I think this is one of the clearest videos!
One of the worst videos I have watched. Far too much talking and no smooth flow of how to work the stitches. I just gave up and going to look for a better video
So if my ribbing starts with a purl, my first two stiches need to be k the purl und p the knit, then continue according to your guide... right?
Hello, thank you for the excellent tutorial. What if the first stitch is a purl. E.g., Lulu slipover placket by petiteknits?
What is the difference with the Tubular Bind off?
What a relief to find your video. Watching other videos, I kept ripping out, then forgetting where I was. Aargh! Your mnemomic and crystal clear instructions made all the difference. Thank you!
Thank you for having made the chart! I finally get it only after having followed your tutorial. You are an amazing teacher! Thank you Ellen.
So incredibly helpful! Thank you!
This is by far the best tutorial. I come back to it every time I need to do this bind off!
Total flicker. I tried every other way, and it’s the only method that feels natural. I also wrap my yarn weird; two counter-clockwise turns on the pinky, one on the middle, and over the index. For some reason I have a hard time maintaining tension, and that’s the only thing that works for me. I’m not TERRIBLY fast, but I’d say I’m not too bad for someone who’s been knitting 7 months.
How long should have have in the needle before cutting off and starting this process?
I'm making the Zipper Sweather by Petite Knits and it calls for an Italian bind off. Mind you I have never done this type of bind off before. And let me tell you, I was able to grasp the concept very quick and easy. However, no one every mentioned that it literally takes forever to do. I've been binding off the body ribbing of my sweater for two days now. I'm thrilled with the outcome but come on Italian bind off, just work faster hahah.
Thank you so much. This is my go to video when I’m doing this bind off. It is so easy to follow. You’re a great teacher.
Thank you!!! What a fantastic tutorial?! Echoing the sentiments of those before me, this is the first time I’ve managed to understand what’s going on
So many knitting videos by people who can knit but have no idea how to teach knitting. FINALLY, a clear, concise video, including a simple chart, that actually teaches how to knit the stitch. Thank you!
You are a star teacher and definitely my "go to" for video tutorials. Thanks for keeping it simple xx
this was the best, clearest, simplest tutorial on how to do this I found! Now LOVE the italian bind off!
Brilliant, thanks so much 😊
The absolute best tutorial.
Very logical- a game changer for me!
What about a cuff down version?! Great tutorial!!!❤
I haven't done it myself but I've heard the cuff down version is called a Strong Heel.
If your first stitch is a purl stitch, does that change your set up stitches?
This is the first time in my 25 years of knitting that I actually learned how to sew an Italian bind off!! I have given up on it in so many projects and I can only wish I had seen your video before. It’s amazing!! And the mnemonic is absolutely genius!! Thank you soooo much for that! This is gold 👌🏼
I'm so happy my video got you over the hump! I love a good mnemonic :)
With the increases would doing a kfb instead of the m1l(r) change the shaping or would it be ok? Thank you for this video, i have made a few pair of socks with a basic heel flap and always had holes at the heel
The shaping shouldn't change switching to a kfb. Give it a test and see if you like the look of the stitch, that's the only difference I can think of.
Thrower for life 😂
Respect :)
Finally, I understand this bind-off method! The chart and explanation makes so much more sense. Thanks so much 😊.
I give up. No stupid tutorial ever works or makes sense. You just go so fast and in circles. I can’t keep up and I can’t pause every 2 seconds to catch up without dropping everything and ducking ruining my projects. I’m done. I don’t care what a pattern calls for, I’m never trying this stupid method again 🤬
One of the beautiful things about knitting is there is always another way. If this bind off doesn't click go with what does. If you prefer there is a pictoral linked below this video with pictures of each step, that may be easier for you to work along side.
Thank you, amazing tutorial. You saved my sanity!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Wow 🎉 I struggle with remembering this bind off every time I do it and keep having to rewind video’s to rewatch and rewatch still getting myself in a muddle but this has finally got it in my head and I have you wonderful chart for reference just in case thank you so so much for this very grareful 😊
"Rear" as a mnemonic to remember m1r is brilliant!
Thank you! Very clear and helpful!
Great tutorial and love the visual cheat sheet/pictorial! Thank you!!
What length circulars did you use to magic loop the hat? Thanks!
I would use a 40”. You essentially want a cable that folded in half to be a decent amount longer than half a hat. Half an adult hat could be 9-12”.
@@knithow Thanks, that makes sense!
I'm a thrower, but I don't use my elbows. Most of my movements are in the wrist and index fingers.
I love the fleegle heel and thank you for the video.
Definitely the ultimate superb way of teaching this technique. A good teacher is a teacher for life! Thank you!
Wow, thanks for this!
Your tutorial is just best ❤
I have tried learning this bind off from so many tutorials, but you are one taught this perfectly. Thank you ❤
Love to hear this!
Thank you for a clear, well explained and attractive video. Your sample looks really intriguing.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, that is too confusing to me. But thank you for this tutorial.
Is there a specific point where I lose you?
By far the best tutorial on UA-cam or Instagram!!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
You're so welcome! Glad it helps!
I have struggled immensely with the Italian bind off and your video made SO much sense! I completed the bind off without a single problem! I can’t thank you enough for this extremely clear and easy to follow tutorial! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh thank makes me so happy!
I finally get it, you explain it very well, thank you!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for this! Your excellent visual aid really helped me...I had to pull out my first attempt but your video helped me to master this method. Grateful !
If we don’t have to rip something back, are we even knitting? 😉 Happy my method helps!
👏👏👏
Excellent video! Thank you
Wow, that was great!!
Speaking of that Bon Jovi song…I recently bought a T shirt that has a cartoon picture of a lemon riding piggy back on a pear. The text on the shirt reads “Woah-oh! We’re halfway there!! Ohh-oh lemon on a pear!!”
🤣 Amazing!
Where did you get the t-shirt? I want to buy one for my daughter 😂
