Thank you soooo much! I was taught to knit like that by my grandmother, but she never got to teach me decreases. Your explantations are so, so clear! Thank you!
Thank you, Irina, for affirming that there are other ways to “skin a cat.” When we have knitting technique options, we can apply them to suit us. For many years, I’ve been wrapping the first purl stitch following a cable in the Eastern, clockwise direction to tighten up the stitch and getting a neater cable. On the reverse side, on a flat piece, I knit that stitch through the back loop. ❤
Thank you! I took a class on continental combination a few years ago when I first started knitting and just barely understood what was happening since I had not learned to read my knitting yet. I’m more comfortable reading my stitches now and have been trying out continental combination again, so this video is perfect timing!
Oh, these tutorials are just excellent! I am trying to change my way of knitting due to injury (I am a right-hand thrower) and my right shoulder has taken a beating! I am going to practice these techniques - appreciate your tutorials...
Fantastic video, Irina! So very clear. I know you plan to make a video on increases as well, but would you consider making a video to grandma knitting tips and tricks?
@@Fiberchats You are most welcome and thank you for everything you do. As an additional note, as someone who is consistently trying to find information on combination knitting, and someone who is also trying to keep to keep traditional crafts alive, there is not much information out there. It would be sad to lose traditions in this increasingly teckky world. I don’t think there is anything wrong with the marrying two (traditional and tech) to preserve our crafts, so I thank you again for your videos.
Thanks Irina for this video. I use the combination method already in simple patterns. Your explanations showed me the way! How do I handle yarn overs? Simple cables such as 1/1 LC and 1/1 RC? Cable without a cable needle?
@@Fiberchats I have already seen all of your great tutorials. Thank you for helping, Irina. Now I would like to knit lace with combination knitting and I can’t manage it so far. Especially in combination with cables.
@@nixkbing1192 I’ll be teaching a lace class in September and I’ll film some of it as a lace tutorial. I’ll also try to make a cable demo for you. Just give me some time:)
Thank you so much for the clear explanations. 😅. I am practicing. My main question is about twisted rib stitches. Do you remount the knit stitches for this? If you would also show the YO increase combined with various decreases that would help me understand a mistake I am making in a lace k,p and cable pattern. The YOs disappear on the reverse, purl side. Lots to learn!
Thank you Irina, your tutorial is so full of information and yet so clean and clear and not overlong. Perfect to watch and understand.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for continuing to provide tutorials…..clear and to the point! Love it!❤
So glad!

I’m glad you have found this useful
Thank you!!! I haven’t found someone that explains so good. 😊
Thank you
Thanks Irina. This video was extremely clear. I learned a lot!
Glad it was helpful!

Great tip! I’ll film cable’s tutorial soon
Thank you so much for sharing these Irina!
Thank you so much for this tuto, I like the way you offer options to do the different decreases.
You are so welcome!

You’re welcome 😊
Great video! I hope to use this for my next project starting with the swatch.
Thank you Irina.
Thank you! Shall practice these on a swatch
I owe you a coffee Irina!
Fantastic video, Irina! So very clear. I know you plan to make a video on increases as well, but would you consider making a video to grandma knitting tips and tricks?
Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll play with this idea

Awesome! I've got to save this😊 Thank you
My pleasure
Thanks,great review!
Interesting 👍😁🍀thank you.
Thank you. Would you consider making a video about Brioche in eastern knitting?
Will do

There is another video on increases and decreases in this playlist you might find helpful.

Think I have figured out that I need to wrap all YOs counter-clockwise! 😂. Too many years doing it the reverse way
It is it clock-wise? Anyway, opposite way
I’ll film it, but yes
