    For a person with adhd & a learning disability brain this tutorial was so helpful & I understood it so fast. The repetition & slow pace & an image of what you’re doing over & over helps a lot to learn in no time. Crocheting is so hard I gave up on it I couldn’t understand it or pick it up so I’m trying knitting & everyone says knitting is harder but this looks so much easier!!

    You taught me how to knit today! ❤️
    I was told by my son’s school - today - that for his online (we just started last week) handwork class the only way for him to learn knitting (which imbibes so many skills for a 7 year old) was if I learnt how to knit and then taught him - as online handwork for little children is an oxymoron - as one needs the teacher by ones side. I was in a panic because knitting has never been a part of my world - embroidery, yes but never knitting.
    You managed to teach this to me......and online too!
    Thank you! ❤️

So I decided to learn it. I looked at so many other tutorials and non of them clicked until I came on here for this video! I definitely subscribed and I am definitely coming for the second part for different stitches and what cute crafts to make ! ❤
