Just learn portuguese style and all the stitches will be the same

Thank you so much for this video, i was searching for a swift and here it is...your Ciao Goo swift 😍...and will be checking your other tools too 😊

Thank you! This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject. Such a thorough explanation of all movements of fingers, arms, hands, wool etc.

As a long time crocheter when I picked up knitting I naturally was more comfortable continental style. And this is like how I do it.

Great tips! Thanks

How do you avoid holes in the heel when picking up stitches ?

Salut Claudia, je me suis arretée à +-5 min de ton video: comment on fait pour savoir combien de pelottes on a besoin? Merci.

Oh so my grip has a name 😅 I knit sloppy, neurodivergent continental. 😂 I let my working yarn stay loose I don’t wrap it so for sure my method is very inefficient… but my tension is beautiful and even. Crocheting for years helped a lot with my tension regulation. I have middle tension (I go up 0.5mm in hooks) for crochet and perfect tension for knitting (no needle changes usually needed to meet gauge).

I love my row counter. I hate having to stop and count rows.

Great tutorial! I've made so many of these as Christmas gifts & smaller baby sized for showers before. For an added touch,I ads eyelettes and I ran some ribbon through the eyelettes and put little gifts in them like hand sanitizer, small liquid soap,chapstick etc. customizing it for the recipient, then I would draw it closed and tie with a bow. For myself, I added some scrubby yarn with the cotton, works awesomely and last a long time!

I do like to use needle tips. I've lost too many stitches from falling off the tips of needles. I'm not very good at picking up stitches after they're off.

Bonjour from Montreal 🥰 I was wondering if you could tell us where is the cheapest place to buy these flexy flip needles Thank you so much ❤

I only knit continental, learned in Germany, and it is so super fast, and best of all its easy on the hands and wrist,

The stuff I’ve used the most are things I’ve had since I was a little girl - we learned crafts very young. And I have all of it! Straight, circular, hooks, needles, you name it. Each thing has a purpose. And sentimental value for sure.

Hello. I’m confused and would like clarification before continue. I’m right at “Begin Ragland increases”- I am size 5. It say work rounds 1-2 for total 10. And I believe 164 stitches. Is that correct? And then do I then start rounds 1-4?

Hi, your videos are very helpful. I have never used circular needles and would like to. The weight on the needle gives me shoulder problems. I wonder if you use a specific brand? Or you can recommend, which material is best and which sizes do you use most?

Terminé! Wish I could post a photo of my first ever sock. It's pretty darn spiffy. Thanks for the great tutorial! 👍

But people decide for them self I'm buying one cuz I can't use good for people with hand issues

Brilliant!! It’s the variety of ways to correct tension that is so helpful

The row counter I use is something I made. It has beads 0-9 with jump rings between each number. I put the needle through the jump rings for counting and switch to the next ring on each row. I also have two sets of beads 0-9 on clips that I can add at the very end to make numbers 10-999. No one can mess up my row counting or walk off with my clicker.

I love the colors on the sweater you are wearing. Perfect fall colors. ❤

This video is amazing, thank you very much, you really helped me a lot ❤❤❤

The bralettes are super cute! My chest unfortunately is too buggy for those.

Subscribed because you’re informative and Canadian 🇨🇦!

I don’t use straights, row counters, expensive bags or fancy stitch markers. With regard to blocking though…..isn’t it better to lay your knitting out to dry onto something that will allow water to evaporate (heated floor, foam mats, plastic) rather then soak up moisture (towels, bed etc.)?

Summer Lee Designs on Ravelry (and CZcams) has some really cool socks that would work well with minis.

Looking for destash yarns on Ravelry is a good resource. I’ve seen reclaimed yarn for sale on Etsy.

I hold the yarn in right and kinda throw - don’t flick - but don’t drop the yarn. For colour work I try to use both hands but the pointer finger on my left hand keeps drifting upwards……any hints or tips?

I’ve got a question 🙂I was looking at the patterns first page and just wanted to be sure, I need two 5mm needle pairs; one pair that’s 40 cm in total and a pair that’s 80cm in total + two 4.5 pairs; again one that is 40cm and one that is 80 cm. I’m asking so I’ll know what exactly to pick up at my local store. Thanks so much for the video.

Thank you for the video! I started The Classic by space tricot, and was having difficulties understanding the instructions for short rows 😅

This video was super helpful for giving me a general overview of the topic, i watched some other ones that all cover specific techniques that were helpful too but left me a little confused about the bigger picture, so thank you so much!! I now feel a lot less intimidated about trying my first color work project :))

Very helpful video, surely a number of knitters will profit from it. May I add, however, that the same principles can be applied to carrying yarn in the right hand which also has the advantage (for some, at least) of making purling much easier. In your video showing English style, the yarn is not managed nearly as efficiently as when you work continental. That is not a put down. I make the comment so that those who prefer to carry yarn in the right hand know it is possible to knit just as efficiently as left-hand carry.

I'm a natural left handed person, but thanks to a brownie leader I knit right handed. I've watched a few videos trying to follow continental knitters, but none have explained it like you. I'm, somehow, 61 and after a lifetime of knitting and crocheting my hands and wrists are telling me to try a different technique. Just on the second toe of my next pair of socks, so think I will try this next knit time. A hat sounds a good project to do. I'll try in the round first and once I have the knit stitch sorted I'll try a flat piece. Thank you. I'll let you know if I succeed. Happy Crafting xxJane 🐑🌼

Question... when placing the initial markers, does the beginning of the round marker count as the first marker?

I went to visit distant cousins in England some years ago and took out my knitting. The cousin looked with fascination and said, "I don't know what you're doing! It's like you're doing nothing and knitting happens!" I actually purl another way. When I do stockinette stitch, I always knit into the back of the stitch, so on the purl side, I just have to pick the yarn without any wrap. I also lost my right index finger in an accident, so I was very glad I knitted this way instead of English.

Just wanted to thank you for making this video. It taught me so much. I bought your sweater pattern am half way through. It’s the simplest pattern I’ve done and the closest fitting to my size. Keep up the great patterns. Could you make a basic buttoned cardigan pattern? Looking forward to any of your patterns.

the opening “are you ready to knit your first sweater” sounded like a threat so I nodded my head and got to work 😂

Thankyou, this was helpful!

Pour le 10% chez laine biscotte quand j’utilise le lien cela ne me donne rien de particulier a part m’amener sur leur site!! Il y a un code promo a faire peut-etre ?

How do you avoid the gap at the ssk? When I wear the socks, I get a column of ladders just next to the ssk gusset decreases and ssk toe decreases. Thank you

To count rows, there’s an app you can install on your Apple Watch (if you own one), and it comes very helpful when you’re doing icords or things like that, otherwise, I just measure my work, and based on the swatch I know approximately how close I am to what the pattern is saying and when I’m about close enough, I count my rows just to be sure.

I have to be honest, I enjoy messing with the gauge. You are so spot on with your advice though Claudia. Thanks.😊

Did you say there was a link in your description for the knitting bag? Small for socks and a bigger one? Both hang on your arm? I don't see the link.

I just found your channel today. Love your podcasts! ❤️ I grew up in Montreal, but live in Missouri now. It’s been a while since I’ve been back!

Do I read my knitting? Yes, but do I understand it? That is a whole different ball game.

Same here, yarn bowls are silly, I use a big vintage bowl from my great aunt. It's place is on the table and whenever I have time I sit and run through a couple of rows. It's amazing how quickly projects knit up for me. All these trendy things cost money I could be using to buy more yarn. Thanks for this video.

Fabulous video! Subscribed!

c'est joli

yarn bowls are just a expensive gimmick in my option....i have managed my yarn for over 50yrs without one

Very cool, thank you for your intricate detailed “show and tell”!! ❤ Q: I guess I have some security settings and therefore can not see your link for the needles. Could you pls. let me know what they are, especially the tool you use for switching 😊. Thank you! Also, could you maybe do a tutorial for a worsted top down v-neck version? 😁 I’m in AB but shopped many time at Espace Tricot 💖
