Again, Norman, you demystified the entire process by explaining the whys and hows of why the braid is created! Thank you! I have a shawl pattern with this, but was afraid to give it a go, as the written directions were a bit confusing! Now I can tackle it with confidence!
I didn’t know about this stitch technique. Quite beautiful and you make it look possible even for a fairly new knitter like me. Always so clearly explained and demonstrated. 🧶💕🧶
A really interesting stitch technique with a lovely result. I will definitely have to give it a try sometime, once I'm more confident knitting with two colors at once. Thank you, Norman, for always inspiring me to try new techniques. 💜✌️🧶
Hi Norman. Great tutorial! I love the Latvian Braid! It’s so decorative and pretty. I’ve never seen it done using dpns, only flat and fixed circulars. Very interesting! I also really like your twist and weave method for joining new yarn. I’m definitely going to give that a try after rewatching your video on the technique. It seems very secure. Thank you for another great tutorial.❤

Thank you Norman. I did Latvian Braid last year for a Xmas Stocking Ornament. Oh Boy, was having problems with tangled yarn. Instead of making 2, guess what... I ended with 1 only. Will have to try your method to make the 2nd pair 😅. Wish me luck ❤❤❤
Hello Norman! I was just curious, how stretchy is the braid? I think it would look nice as a waistband on a dress if it can stretch. Thank you for this lovely tutorial!
I love the colors you chose - Intentional Ukraine support or just a happy coincidence either way they look great and make it very easy to follow the stitches as you do them.
while I definitely am supportive of the cause, this is a happy coincidence. I picked these colors because there are most likely to work for a wide range of colorblind people.
This looks brilliant,but I don’t knit the international way but the English way, so until I try it I don’t know if it will work. I hold my yarns in my right hand. I love the way you knit but at 74 I’m not sure I’d be able to change my way of knitting. Thank you.- Marna 10:51
@@nimbleneedlestwo Thank you Norman. I really appreciate you getting back to me. 🖤 After I messaged you, I started thinking. . . What if, when I go to add the Latvian Braid, I pull the strand from the center and add it to the outside strand just for the braid. . .” 🤔🤔

It seems so easy after watching this tutorial. I'm planning on using it in a kitchen set.

Thank you, Norman, for always inspiring me to try new techniques.

Pretty cool. I’ve not seen this stitch before. Thanks, Norman. ❤
Thanks for watching!
Your twist and weave joining a new color is intriguing.
it's my all time favorite way to join new yarn
@@nimbleneedlestwo Is there a slower demo of this on any of your videos?

yeah..it can be quite a problem....but just pull out a very long length of yarn and try push the twist further down. that typically helps.
@@nimbleneedlestwo Thank you!
Thanks for teaching this lovely technique! Would you please show how to do it with just one color?
hm...I don'T think I will find the time any time soon.
@@nimbleneedlestwo Ok, thanks for answering
Hello Norman! I was just curious, how stretchy is the braid? I think it would look nice as a waistband on a dress if it can stretch. Thank you for this lovely tutorial!
hm..it's about as stretchy as standard stockinette stitch..maybe a little bit less. but will depend on your tension
Great tuto, Thanks !
You're welcome!
Beautiful! Thanks. 🥰

Hello! Is it possible to make 2 Latvian braids next to each other? (To make them look like 2 rows of latvian braids)
i am not sure what you mean exactly. But...hey you can always knit a swatch and see where it gets you :)
I am assuming that after casting on, a Latvian braid can be a border stitch for a pretty dishtowel?
yes, you could do that. I mean, i never tried it but why not?

sorry, my channel is only about continental knitting :(
Can Latvian braid be done in one color?
yes, sure. Just twist around one color similar to weave in as you go.
