    This is a very informative and useful video.
    Because I cannot see my stitches at all, I have gotten into the habit of marking the right side of the work as soon as I can.
    I also note which side the tail from my cast on resides on as I begin the first row. For the long tail cast-on the tail is to my right; for the knitted cast-on the tail is to my left. These are the cast-ons I use most frequently, but the method should work for any cast-on.
    I also sometimes use the tail of the cast-on as a row counter by tying small knots in the tail. The knotted yarn method can also be used with a separate length of yarn which I pin to the right side of the work.For more complicated counts I keep track in a document on my computer where I can enlarge and increase contrast of the numbers.
    I would love to be able to use a row counter, but the numbers are too small and/or too indistinct for me to see. I have yet to find either a counter I can see or a talking row counter.
    You do such a good job of narrating your videos that I can usually follow what is going on, even if I can't see the pictures at all. I really appreciate that.

    Thank you for the helpful video. I have a question, not sure if I missed it in the video but do you ever have to flip sides, as in the wrong side facing you and start knitting on that if you need to do a wrong side row? Or are rs and ws in patterns just a formality to let you know what it is doing and you don't need to change sides? Sorry if this is confusing but I just want a little clarification so I get my knitting right lol

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit
      @WatchBarbaraKnit  Рік тому

      When you are knitting flat you are constantly working back and forth. Typically you begin with a Right Side row. When you get to the end of that row you have to swap the needles from hand to hand and at that point you'll be working from the wrong side. If you are working in the round you are almost always working from the right side.

    how can you work out which is ws or rs when doing ribbing (k2, p2) as both sides are the same. thanks for a reply Barbara.

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit
      @WatchBarbaraKnit  4 роки тому

      Ribbing is one of those things that is truly reversible so it can be very challenging to tell. If it is in the round it is almost impossible except for you should know what comes directly after your beginning of round - knit or purl. So if the first two sts are knit then you are holding it wrong side out the first two sts after beginning of round would be purls. It is similar when working flat. You either start your ribbing with a knit or a purl so you have to hold your knitting so it starts that way. If you are holding it with the WS facing it will be a purl.

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit
      @WatchBarbaraKnit  4 роки тому

      That is really tough on 1x1 ribbing because it is truly reversible. Take a look at your pattern, does the Right side row begin and end with a knit stitch? Or does it start with a Knit and end with a purl? If it begins and ends with a knit then the WS would begin and end with a purl so that would be one way to tell. Are you doing 2 row stripes? If so take a look at how many rows of each color you have, that might be helpful? Once you figure out which is the wrong and which is the right side, make sure to use a piece of yarn or locking stitch marker to mark the RS so you don't have to go through this again.

    I am a new knitter, so this may be wrong but my way of telling RS from WS on Garter stitch , (using long tail C.O. /I am right handed) the 1st row /RS , will be when my tail is hanging down on the right side(as opposed to left ) after I have completed C.O. and turned the work , is this Correct ?

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit

      You can tell which is right/wrong side based on the location of your yarn tail, but keep in mind different cast-on techniques end up with the tail at a different location.

      You can indeed go by your starting tail, but that is something that depends on what kind of cast on you used. I didn't want to get too confusing because you have to note which side of your knitting the tail is on at the beginning. Different cast ons end up with the tail on different sides.

      Seed stitch is a truly reversible stitch - so there isn't really a right/wrong side. That said, if your pattern includes other elements you might need to make sure to mark the RS when you get started so you know which side it is for instruction purposes.

      I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. The yarn really isn't on the right or wrong side. When you are making a knit stitch the yarn should be behind the needle and when you are making the purl stitch it is typically in front of the needle, but that is independent of Right and Wrong side.

    Everyone who does these demonstrations always use a double pointed needle or a circular needle. I'm reading a Lion Brand pattern that wants me to use the basic, single-point "straight" needle on rows that require me to knit on the wrong side. How do I flip or change to knit on the wrong side with a basic, single-point "straight" needle? It appears that the end cap is prohibiting me to do so. But the Lion Brand pattern wants me to use this type of needle; so there must be a special technique on knitting on the wrong side with a "straight" needle.

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit
      @WatchBarbaraKnit  5 років тому

      I was not using the circular needles to knit in the round and the technique of flat knitting is the same regardless of circular or flat needles. If you are knitting flat you begin with all of the stitches on your left hand needle and in the process of knitting all of the stitches will be transferred to the right hand needle as you create them. Once all of your stitches are on the right hand needle you simply switch which needle is in which hand. The needle with all of the stitches on it is transferred to your left hand and in doing so you flip it over so that the "wrong side" is showing. You pick up the empty needle with your right hand and begin working the stitches on the left needle. Once you've worked all of the stitches they will all be on the right hand needle. Then you switch that needle to your left hand, again flipping it over and the right side will be facing you, empty needle in your right hand.

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit
      @WatchBarbaraKnit  5 років тому +1

      Honestly, at this point if you have lost track it is going to be very hard to figure it out. I think I would look for the row that is the transition between your last row of garter and your first row of k1, p1 - if you can find that and position it so that the k1, p1 starts on the right edge and your last garter ridge is showing its purl side, then the side facing up should be the right side. And I would mark the RS once I figured it out LOL.

      Well, I cannot exactly say unless I saw your pattern, but there are various reasons it could be. Unless you are simply knitting a straight rectangle there is usually shaping of some sort. These types of patterns might say something like "increase 2 stitches every other RS row" or even simply increasing on the RS row and not increasing on a WS row. Or at the end will say "bind off from the wrong side". It is possible that it is truly irrelevant in your pattern, but that is an unusual situation. At a bare minimum, it is industry standard to indicate Right Side and Wrong Side.
