I can’t tell you how Portuguese purling has rocked my world in such an AWESOME way! In my afghan work I no longer ver away from purling.
I am using Portuguese in combination with English “throwing” and Continental to spare my hand fatigue… just brilliant!
I so appreciate your teaching videos - you are my “Go To” for my self learning experiences and the first teacher I recommend to others… even some other podcasters to problem solve & celebrate our art!
Many many thanks Loretta

I remembered my grandmother knitting when i was younger, i always watched her, she loved doing this. She's knitting on heaven now
oh my god i follow you for so long and im portuguese and for me its a honour to have you teaching how we knit. i regularly i have to transforme your tecnics in to my portuguese kniting. love your videos. thanks so mutch for it.
Yayyyy more Portuguese knitting, been knitting this way since I was very young, being Portuguese and all lol...I'm also a thrower...thank you, you're fabulous.
When I saw your first video on this style, I decided I didn't want to try it because I knit continental style and am very happy that way. After seeing this video today, I am going to try Portuguese knitting to knit my first dishcloth (using your lovely pattern, of course). Thank you for your videos and sparking my interest once again. You are awesome!
It's worth a try - I'm very happy with the way I knit, too. But having a backup method is good for using different muscles, and this style is also very fun to do. :)
I am an enthusiast crafter and about 10 years ago I decided to learn knitting and crochet from CZcams....I remember your channel from back then (a decade! ago) because I really liked the professional and "clean" demonstration you provided...I made a few projects..and then I quit ...it was difficult for me to keep up, but the real reason was that I didn't liked the English way.. or the American way of knitting...I had the memory of a different kind of knitting I had tried on at a really young age..I am Greek and I remember about 40 years ago when I was about six..an elderly Greek lady teaching my mum knitting the so called "Portuguese" way... For us this was just knitting..we didn't know there was a name for it or that there were other techniques...of course at this young age I did not learn but I remembered that it looked so easy....
Before quiting knitting after the first attempts 10 years ago..I tried to find on CZcams videos for this "other" technique...I searched "knit with yarn around the neck" or something...and found only one or two videos with bad quality which were impossible to follow...but at least I learned the name of the technique.."Portuguese.
Now with the quarantine Greece has for more than 7 months in the last year... I decided to give knitting a try again....and searched for the method with the yarn over the neck (had forgotten the Portuguese term). I am so excited to find 10 years later so much more information on CZcams..and especially that YOU😍 decided to have a playlist dedicated to the method...since I had distinguished you from the other knitting channels back then...I am so happy and please keep adding to the playlist 😊
Just a quick note to tell you that you're are awesome! Thanks for teaching me to knit, beautiful lady. We're so lucky to have you.:)
I concur!
Staci,Thank you so much for another way to expand my knitting. I appreciate all the details that you add to your videos, that's what makes them so good and why I have learned so much from you....please don't change the way you teach. There are a lot of sad people in the world that can't say anything kind...just say a prayer for them are move on.
This is really cool. Loving it! Your videos are ALWAYS excellent. I even love that you leave the little bits where you get tongue-tied. It keeps things real and you come across as very personable.
Hi I learned from my mum to knitt Portuguese stile and yes there is a Portuguese cast on stile and is very easy,,,
It's so cool that you posted this right now, because I watched your other video on Portuguese purling and knitting 3-4 days ago and set about learning it. I was an English knitter for about 40 years then switched to Continental - very difficult! But this is so easy by comparison! I will definitely use this pattern to practice on. Thanks so much!
Your dishcloth pattern is a god send!!!! I have converted from sponges to your dishcloths and feel so eco and proud!!!😁
I have fallen in love with Portuguese knitting and your videos.please do more projects with this style.❤❤❤❤
I have always had difficulty with stockinette and I finally realized it was the purl rows that was causing my work to not be uniform. I found a video on Portuguese knitting and knitting normally/purling Portuguese (as you suggest) gives me tension-perfect beautiful fabric. I had difficulty with the yarn around my neck so i bought the pin. Amazon has clip-on "jewelry" for $16-27 but I got the Lacis pin for $5. I use it everyday so it didn't take long to realize it was putting holes in my shirts so I folded a dish towel in half lengthwise, then in half again. I put the pin near one end and draped it over the back of my recliner. The length of the towel holds it securely in perfect position.
Stacy, you are so right about Portuguese purling being far superior to regular purling! Most of the action is with my left thumb so I can knit comfortably for hours at a time and after I started using the pin my fabric is so perfect it honestly looks like it was made on a machine!
If you want to be more portable, google magnetic knitting pins. There's a nice tutorial on using magnets glued to a couple of pretty buttons and a hook attached to the front button so your clothes get saved from holes. I love my magnetic pin and if you choose well, it just looks like a pretty brooch.
I fell in love with the Portuguese knitting style when I watched your first video. I pretty much use it for most simple stitches, I still need to figure out some of the more complicated stitches but I am a convert. I also have neck issues so I got some large pretty pins and some lobster claws and made my own Portuguese knitting pin. Thank you so much for introducing me to this style of knitting, (my wrists are grateful ) and I look forward to the rest of this series.
You purl like I always have. As a lefty, I can control tension best by purling in this manner. Thank you. I'll stop apologizing for "purling weird" from now on. As usual, a great tutorial Staci. Thanx.
Hello from a fellow lefty!! :)
I love your videos. You're always clear and thorough. Thank you
Very interesting! I think I could get hooked on this way! Thank you!
I'm a thrower so this is really intriguing to me. Can't wait to try!
Staci, keep on being long winded! LOL. I have learned so much from your videos and I am loving this technique (Portuguese knitting)
you are the best teacher thanks for doing so much
Has anyone tried Norwegian purling? Use it all the time for any straight purling. I knit continental and it really keeps up speed. It doesn't work well for double sided knitting but it's the easiest way I've found!
Love this style of knitting! thank you.
I'm going to try this way, I think this will help prevent me from dropping stitches
I enjoy this so much and you are a great teacher
This is the hottest spot on you tube!!!!! Viva La Portuguese knitting!
Yay! More Portuguese knitting! Can you show us how to use the pins? Do you pin on the left or the right? How high up or low? I'm digging thru my jewelry boxes to see if I have something that might make due?
I have a magnetic pin that I bought on Etsy, and I pin it on the left side. There is no perfect place for it - I usually choose a place where my clothes are thick enough to take some pulling (like through my bra strap and my shirt). I find that the location doesn't make that much difference, just whatever works!
Hi, do you have a video on Portuguese knitting bind off?
No, sorry - I don't have a video on that. You can just work a normal BO, and you can do the BO with purl stitches if you prefer.S t a c i
would use knitting pin. yarn around neck would collect sweat, skin oil, skin flakes, dirt, etc.
You taught me to knit, thank you so much!
By the way there is a Portuguese cast on hahahahaha...you need to add that to your Portuguese playlist lol...you are amazing beautiful lady
Yes, thanks. I've made a Portuguese CO video, and it is in the playlist.
I'm unable to find the instructional video for the rectangle dish cloth. You said to use the same pattern as the square one but it doesn't one side has to be longer than the other because it's a rectangle not a square. Please please please help!
Here you go - verypink.com/2014/03/07/traditional-dishcloth-pattern-free-update/
@@verypinkknits Yes, I saw this and followed it to a "t"... and ended up with a small square. I just can't get how one side gets longer while the other doesn't (rectangle)! 🙄
There IS a Portuguese cast on, yes.
you are so gorgeous and talented!! I hope to be as amazing as you one day :(
I just got my first set of circular needles. How would I do this using them? At what point would you split your number of stitches in half
You don't have to separate the stitches for a flat piece of knitting - that technique is used in magic loop knitting, when you're knitting a tube. Here is more info on using circular needles: czcams.com/video/kIZWglOcyjI/video.html
I clicked on the link for the needles but the page was no longer there.
Here is a new link: amzn.to/3jXIyuR
I only knit Portuguese style. It is so much easier on hands and faster than English or continental.
Honey, those needles are hot! I always wanted to know where I could get some that nice. Great video also!
there are a portuguese cast on with the yarn around the neck
Staci, thank you so much for spreading your knowledge around. I'd like to use the dishcloth pattern to knit an afghan using a magic sock ball. How many stitches would I cast on? Id rather not do the yarn over. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
There is no way I can answer that...you'll need to knit up a swatch in the yarn you want to use, measure the number of stitches you're getting per inch, then multiply that by how wide you'd like the blanket to be.
Or, more specific to this pattern, since it starts on the corner, follow the pattern as written (casting on 2) and knit up until the blanket is as wide as you want it. then start decreasing.
How would you follow the directions of a pattern typically? you modified these directions, but how would someone follow unmodified instructions? is it if the pattern says knit, we automatically purl and vice versa?
Click through to my website here for a link to the "unmodified" pattern, where every row of the garter stitch is knit:
verypink.com/2016/08/10/portuguese-knitting-dishcloths/
Thanks. I don't think I articulated my question well. If someone wanted to use Portuguese Knitting style with a pattern that was not written that way...what do they do? Do they automatically purl every stitch the pattern says to knit and vice versa?
If it's garter stitch - yes, you can substitute the knit stitches for purls, and the knit increases/decreases for purl increases/decreases. If it is a different stitch combination, like stockinette, you can work the stitches as listed in the pattern, just using the Portuguese style of knitting and purling.
Thanks.
Please stay in Portugese knitting. I love this way and I want to grow in this tech. My local shop acted insulted I wanted to learn this.
Yes - more Portuguese knitting videos coming up over the next few weeks. :)
+VeryPink Knits I know continental. I was in dentistry and my fingers go numb. I am a young woman and it is annoying so when I found this I loved it. But the video where the tech was introduced was hard to follow. My local shop in South Florida was not accommodating at all. I couldn't understand this attitude. I am a crochet pro and this felt more natural to me.
+Hacienda Homestead It's probably because this technique isn't well-known outside of the areas that the Portuguese and Arabs introduced it. Also, in South America especially, it's started to be seen as old-fashioned and not as elegant as Continental and English styles. Then again, that's how the parlour style came into fashion, wanting to look more elegant while knitting in front of gentlemen visitors.
So if you're following a written pattern or a regular knitting tutorial, there won't be any conflicts with the way it's supposed to turn out? I don't know exactly how to ask what it is that I'm wanting to know. Can you still follow a written pattern with this method and it still turn out correctly I guess might be a better way to phrase my question lol
I am obviously doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I am attempting a rectangular dishcloth, and a few rows into the straight section I have sort of a weirdly shaped trapezoid, definitely not a rectangle. If I am correct, the alternate rows of the straight section are increasing 1 in the first row, increasing one and decreasing 2 in the second row, which should produce a straight piece of fabric, but somehow I'm getting it wrong. Any advice?
I've taken it out and started over numerous times, but I must be making the same mistake over and over.
Sorry you're having trouble, you have it right - the straight section is: +1 odd numbered rows, and -1 even numbered rows. You should start with the same stitch count every odd numbered row. My guess is that you're losing track and working an odd numbered row twice, or an even numbered row twice.
Can Portuguse kitting be used for all knitting patterns?
Yes.
Think you can do a video for the entire washcloth? I'm a visual learner and this doesn't make sense to me
Click through to my website, where you can download the written pattern, which explains the whole dishcloth. I show all of the techniques used in the video.
VeryPink Knits
Maybe I'll have better luck purling this way 😝
Iam português and i like Thais
Where’s part 2?
This video contains both parts. Part 2 starts at 3:50.
@@verypinkknits okay I will watch it again. however all of my stitches resemble the purl stitch
Skip to 5:27 to start knitting. She is long winded.
Long winded? That is not nice or accurate, and I need to step in and say something here. The information I give at the beginning of the video is important, and answers the questions folks will have when working this project.
