Great demo - ty! One additional pointer - when using proactive lifelines in complicated patterns where you are also using stitch markers (as in lace), remember Not to thread the lifeline through the stitch markers! This has tripped me up when using my interchangeable circulars to knit in the lifeline when I forget to remove the upcoming stitch marker.
Hello! Are you trying to carry along the lifeline with your needles as you knit (proactive lifeline)? You should be able to do this with magic loop, making sure that your lifeline is staying with your needle cable as it passes through all the stitches in your round (might have to do a little detangling at your loop areas). Let us know how it goes!
Lab knitting teachers always talk about lifelines but never demonstrate how to do it THANK YOU!!!
You're very welcome!
This is a very helpful video, thanks.
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for a very useful video. I've known about lifelines forever but was never sure how to place them through the work. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, it can be a bit confusing the first time!
Excellent explanation. Thank you so so much.
You're very welcome! Happy knitting!

Great tip! (Yes, definitely have learned that one the hard way!)
Such a clear demonstration-thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for sharing 🧡
You are so welcome!
Is it possible to use interchangeable needles to weave in a lifeline if I am using Magic Loop? I tried it but something went horribly wrong!

should have watched that before binding off a sleeve one row too soon when I thought "I might be doing this too soon??"
Isn't that always the way? Happy knitting!
