You make knitting more fun by teaching important skills and tricks with your humor and sparkling personality - just the way you describe how to move the stitches around and “rescue” them is like listening to a kindergarten teacher with her class. You don’t just say “the sky is blue” - your voice adds dimensions, inflection, and enthusiasm while saying it so that statement no longer sounds flat and dull. Every tip or trick you share adds to our knowledge and helps us enjoy knitting more. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom. Bet the whole knitting community is feeling very blessed and lucky to have access to your channel. ^^
i usually avoid cabling, for the very reason that i can't find my cable needle and i end up having to use my stitch holder then transfer them back onto the needle. what a pitaYou've just made cabling seem so easy, thank you sooo much!!
I struggle with cables, not because of the actual cable parts, but because of tension. I am a tight knitter, and I always end up with a gap between my knits and purls following a cable. I tried to tug the yarn tight, bring the yarn to the back to tug tight, purling through the back loop to remove excess, and nothing really works well. The last one is the best solution so far, buts its a little cumbersome and I still end up with a gap. I'd love a tutorial on tension while knitting cables. All your cabled items looks so clean and perfect. Thanks for the tutorials you do and making these things not as scary!
You are luminous in that goldish-reddish cable knit sweater! Thank you for these wonderful tutorials. As a beginner knitter you are taking the “scarey” out of trying new things. Thank you, Stephen!!! Sending you love from Arizona. At the end of the video you look like a knitting-shaman with your cable gold sweater, shawl and cable hat. XOXO! ~ Ellen Bee P.S. I love these videos. Thank you so much!
Stephen I really enjoy you as a per SD on and your carefree personality. Being such a talented person, which I've followed you for years. You take the stress out of knitting, even for beginners. Very creative and colorful projects. The knitting process is not cut in stone, because If one makes a mistake--not the end of the world. Looking forward to future videos. Thank you, thank you🤗🤗
I made the Moose River cowl for my brother years ago, from one of your books. He absolutely loves it, it’s so handsome - and it was a satisfying knit as well 🥰
I've only recently found you, Stephen. And what a godsend you are! Your patterns are so great. But it's your "you can do it" attitude and encouraging tone that I love the most. Thanks!
Love your videos and I’m always learning something new.. I’m going to try the Moose River Cowl.. it’s beautiful.. well everything you knit is beautiful:) I live in Anchorage, Alaska so we have a Moose River not far from me. Already excited for the next video! Thank you!
Hi Stephen! New Subbie here, and thank you for this video. I love knitting cables and thus video has changed my knitting cables life! I rarely lose my cable needle but I don't always feel like digging it up out of my notions bag in my treasure chest. This is a fabulous technique!
Quel dommage que vos livres et tutoriels ne soient pas traduit en français, ça aurait été un plaisir d'apprendre votre merveilleuse technique au tricot vous faites des merveilles bravo 👏
Definitely have to try this!! Somebody else had showed a similar thing but it was a lot harder... They were saying to pinch the stitches you slip off..... It almost looks like you needed an extra hand!! 🤣😂🤣😂
This was a great tutorial, very clear. Question: Why can’t you slip the first two stitches, knit the next two and then put the stitches in the correct order? Wouldn’t that save you a step?
Cowls are great for activities and also for clumsy people like me who choke on my way out the door as my shawl or scarf gets caught on a door handle. It is a warm hug for your neck. Not too snug, but warming for a chilly day or night.❤

Bonjour Stephen merci pour toutes ces explications. Vous faites des ouvrages wahouuu quelle imagination. Bravo 😘
I wondered if anyone else was doing this with cables. I started doing it years ago. Glad the secret is out.
You always make it look so easy. I really appreciate that you do these tutorials. You make it fun. Love the shawl and The Moose River Cowl.
Thank you so much!
Thank you. You are the great teacher Stephen 💗
Wow, thank you!
I like how Stephen says "rescue" the stitches. I'm going to use that term from now on.
I could listen to your videos all day. You make it look easy and fun! Thank you!
Thank you Scared of dropping the stitches at first but soon got into the rhythm

Hi Stephen!
What's the pattern of the sweater you're wearing please?
Oh, heel slim. Dank je wel.👍😁👋🇳🇱
Brilliant!
Thank you so much!!!!!
I’m not getting the concept of a cowl? Is this a replacement for a scarf?
Cowls are great for activities and also for clumsy people like me who choke on my way out the door as my shawl or scarf gets caught on a door handle. It is a warm hug for your neck. Not too snug, but warming for a chilly day or night.❤
@@janehosking6764 lol..got it. Thanks I’ll have to try one.
I wish I could give you 5 thumbs up for this:) Thank you a bunch!

OMG 😲 thank u 😘

I prefer using double pointed needles as cable needles
Does anyone know the name of the sweater he is wearing?
It’s Stephen’s Extra Texture sweater.. it’s on ravelry
@@natashadaragan7773 thank you 🙏🏿
Who knew!
❤
I am afraid to do this with a size 1 needle and fingering weight. Yikes
🌈🌈🌈🌈👍👍👍💝
Gosh, I'm such a coward knitter, I'm scared of cabling without cable needle, and I'm *terrified* of steeking
