    I want to really thank you for actually showing how to do this technique in such a manner that I am able to both see and follow what you are doing.
    I have never seen anyone online do this so clear and precise. What a wonderful video you have made! 😊

    Mikey I followed you for years and the Crochet Crowd and I'm just seeing this now so and I'm also just third time trying to knit and learning it slowly so I'm very excited to see that you are making knitting videos too, thank you!

    Would like to see the back of the work...to see what the locked stitches look like. thank you.

    Oh wow, this looks so easy. I’m going to have to go be it a try. I struggled with trying to knit with 2 -3 colors and gave up. I purchased a couple hat patterns I thought I could do but never tried because it’s intimidating. I knit socks for goodness sake. I should be able to do this. 🤣 you’ve given me confidence to try again!

    I’m so excited that you are knitting. I have been knitting for years but have never attempted fair aisle. I may just get brave enough to try.

    Out of curiosity, why can’t it be done with every other stitch or every stitch to better hide the yarn in the back? Would it make it bulky? Would it show on the other side? I want to color work but am so scared of messing up my work.

      Try it out. I know messing up the beautiful pattern is scary, but you can always frog it and redo it. It isn't a waste of time, because you'll have learned something. Don't be afraid to experiment and play around.

      @ I’m currently working on a 60 inch blanket and I swear, I keep forgetting to use the darn lifeline. By the time I reached the final stitches and counted to double check, I realized I had messed up on one section all the way at the beginning. It’s so frustrating having to unknit to that section. I swear this blanket has been such a test of my patience and will power. It’s called “Knit and Purls only blanket”. I’m lucky that it’s simple knit and purls in comparison to my prior project that had anything from ssk2tog, k3tog, cables, yo’s, and k2tog. Now that took me over a year only because the amount of mistakes I made had me literally pulling my hair out. I’m so looking forward to starting color work as soon as I’m done with this blanket and will certainly be experimenting on those questions.

    This doesn’t work for me. I am still super struggling with locking stitches into place

    Thank you for this video. I have been watching other videos on how to do this and I became so frustrated that I wanted to throw the project away.

    It is a wraped stitch so there it is locked! Same theory as short rows stitching.
