Thank you, Leigh! I have so many other videos to make (but so little time!). Promise to get at least the purl stitch up in the next few weeks. Get knitting!!
Thank you for this video! I fought with this for hours yesterday watching another video and got so frustrated. I’m a crocheter and I’ve wanted to learn knitting for a while. I’m going to keep trying. My loops just slip right off my needles so your method of holding the loops will hopefully help me stop that. Thank you again! Great explanations and visuals!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Stick with it - I promise you’ll get the hang of it. Don’t put any pressure on yourself. You’ll be amazed what you can do!
First of all, thank you so much for some well explained knitting tutorials for us lefty’s 😁 I was wonder/hoping if you could do one on purling when knitting continental style. I’m trying to teach my self this style, I’ve been kitting the European style for years but I’ve always found my hands get cramped after a bit so I’m trying the continental style to see if the cramping goes away. Again,thank you very much for these videos!!!
These videos are great. Very clear! I am a right handed continental knitter and my left handed son would like to learn how to knit. I know lefties who knit right handed so I’m not sure if it’s crucial to learn left handed but I’m going to help him try this way and see how he likes it. My only hesitation is that I am not sure if I will be able to help him problem solve as well since I am right handed. We’ll see. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed the video! How about this - why don't you and your son watch these together, so you can pause as you need to make sure you're doing each step by step properly (whatever that means!!). I've got a whole list of future videos to make - starting with purling - but real life keeps getting in the way. More to come!!
I would try teaching him right handed first. My kids are right handed and I taught them all to crochet left handed. That way I could help when they ran into trouble.
This is the best leftie beginner video I have found on UA-cam! Thank you! I need some advice though…when the time comes to “wrap the yarn around”, I can never remember from which direction to wrap it and tend to get it backwards. Any tips on an easy way to remember which way to wrap the yarn? Thanks in advance!😊😊😊😊
I can do that! Maybe later today once we’re done clearing away the snow. If you haven’t already, hit ‘subscribe’ on the channel so you get an alert when I’ve uploaded it. I promise, fixing a dropped purl stitch isn’t scary, and it’s very satisfying once you’ve got it down!
What I’m finding hard to do is hold the yarn in my right hand. I need to find a way to hold it in my left hand. This video is a little confusing to me.
Finally -- someone who knits like I do!!
Finally, a great example and more than one row of work. I knit as a lefty, but have thrown my yarn. I think I can try because you are a great teacher!

This is the best left handed video I have found. Thanks and keep them coming!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. I was having a hard time trying to figure out which way to hold the yarn.
Glad to find you. I'm a lefty that has wanted to continental knit! I usually throw or flick.

Actual knit stitch starts at 4:58
How to make another row after the first one?
I'm a leftie, but I'm finding this very confusing
I do this on one way and then English on the way back and I can do knit stitch endlessly lol.
I do that, too, sometimes! Anything not to purl :)
Now I need a tutorial on what to do when I drop a stitch.

@@ellendominusbroude5736 this is gonna be great!!! So excited for your videos! Excellent instructor and melodious, soothing voice. Perry hands, too!
What I’m finding hard to do is hold the yarn in my right hand. I need to find a way to hold it in my left hand. This video is a little confusing to me.
