    This guide was immaculate. I love how cute the intro and outro were, but mostly it's so well organized and has so much helpful background information. I'm just starting knitting and have been getting frustrated that the basics are not usually included in begin to knit information (like yarn weights and why they are!). I especially found the 'how to count rows' useful and the picking up the drop stitches bit. Thank you so much for sharing!

    I watched this video religiously, although I've been knitting for 20 years. I learned from my mom and from Soviet books and was sooooo lost with terms in English, but it turned out there're much more things new to me (casting methods are completely different from what I've learned). Your video was just perfect for me!

    pay attention when buying your interchangeable needle set! i bought my first set as a beginner, and i didnt know what to look for. they ends of the needles, where they're supposed to connect to the cables, flared instead of getting smaller, making them unusable. its pretty obvious to a knitter who knows their stuff, but watch out for that!

    I come from a long line of professional knitters. My cousin and I joke that we are being generous when we combine our “talent” as an 8th as good as our grandmother (she could smoke a cigarette, drink iced tea, watch tv and have a conversation while doing the heel of an argyle sock). I just realized that I somehow have been doing a combination of English and continental. I learned continental forgot a lot of it and somehow started English. Thank you for helping me realize what I’m doing.

    Thank you for this comprehensive video! I've been knitting most of my life, but not well! I mainly crochet but am looking more towards knit projects. This was a great guide to fill in some blanks, including that I am knitting wrong (I've been knitting into the back loop and wrapping the yarn the wrong way for purling)! I've gotten really use to this but I think I'll get myself in trouble if I continue more intricate patterns. I'm very glad that I watched this video, and have a better understanding of some of the more complicated stitches. Thanks again!

    I have a question- if you haven't done so yet, would you consider making a video with a guide on MANY different methods of casting on and binding off, with swatches and explanations on when and where to use them?
    Not knowing how choose these when and where, along with patterns not telling you which ones to use was the ultimate reason I drifted away from knitting many years ago

    Generally a good tutorial and nice presentation (I really like your videos), but there a two things that appear to me overly complicated or counter intuitive.
    1. Slipknot. Probably the very first thing I learned in my school handwork lesson, was how to make a slipknot: Take some yarn in your left (or right if your left-handed) hand and hold the tail-end with your little- and your ringfinger. Next wrap the yarn around your index- and middlefinger. Lastly slip with one or two fingers of your other hand into the loop, you just created, and pull the yarn, which should lay on the back of your hand, through the loop.
    2. Continental Method. I must say, I didn't knew, that there were two methods, but the method I use seems to be called "continental". My problem is, that it seem rather counter intuitive to wrap the yarn around the needle, when you can instead easily pull the yarn with the needle, to create a loop.
    Keep in mind: Some things are personal preference, some are cultural difference and others just how we learned/got taught things. Just wanted to add my two cents to the conversation. ;)
