I would like to make it clear that this is in no way an anti-Ravelry video. Ravelry is an awesome resource and I have made many videos that feature it. I decided to include "that are not Ravelry" in the title because I figured if I failed to mention Ravelry then the comments would be full of people recommending Ravelry LOL! If there is one thing I love it is more information and there are so many awesome knitting resources on the internet that I wanted to share some of them. But if you are new here and you haven't heard of Ravelry - make sure to check it out as well! But be aware that they are having some difficulties with their current design causing sensory issues in people (like nausea, headaches, and migraines).
Thank you. Much appreciated since I don’t do Ravelry. I had not heard of Knitty. I also find Roxanne Richardson and Very Pink Knits very helpful on CZcams besides you!! 😃
The number of awesome CZcams resources is sort of overwhelming LOL. Both of the ones you mentioned are fantastic. You will have so much fun going through Knitty.
Barbara, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the rundown on those wonderful sites and your generosity in showing them to us! You are my favorite knitting person!
Wow, what a really kind thing for you to do. Thank you for not only sharing these sites, but showing some of the key features to help all of us who knit. Now I have 6 sites that I can visit.😊
I LOVE Techknitting - the articles are so in-depth and the illustrations are helpful (especially for those of us that are visual learners). I've referred to it so many times while working through TKGAs master hand knitting program.
I've been knitting for 30 years and I've been stuck on intermediate level for the past 20, purely because I can't fathom out the expert level stitches, tried so many times read loads of books and still no joy. I think now I'll be able to see how to do it and I might finally be able to make the cardigan I've been wanting for ages. Thank you so much.
Well now you put me in a difficult position. I’m torn between doing a deep dive into these web sites and binge watching your videos. So much to enjoy, so little time! Videos take the win because I can knit while I watch them.
Well, in theory the entire channel is self promotion LOL. But one of my primary goals for starting this channel was to help lift up other members of the knitting community that I am a part of, so I try to make these kinds of videos fairly regularly.
I don't comment often..just wanted you to know how much I love your channel❣Thank you for all you do! I'm making my 1st knit cardigan largely due to your help.
I'm so glad to hear you still have to refer to tutorials. I have been knitting for a while but I still need to see how frequently. Thought everyone else had it in their heads. Thanks.
Thank you Barbara. I haven't heard of any of these channel, so my bedtime reading for the next few night is sorted! Love learning about new sites and you have given me a Thursday treat. Take care and keep safe. xxJane
Thanks for the reminder about these web site. Didn't know that they were still up and going. Was using some of these site years ago. Well have to check them out again. Been knitting for 55yrs and things change. Back then all I had was my mother to explain knitting problems. CZcamss, blogs in today's world can keep me up on some new stuff too.
Thank you Barbara for all the research you put into making this video. You've given your "followers' so much useful information over the years and this video is no exception. Totally appreciate it!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit you are definatky are in the same as Marley Bird 🐦 and she would tell you the same. I have learned as much from you as I have from her
Thank you Barbara! I haven't heard of any of these websites! I now have more resources. I just learned from one of your videos that I am an EASY level knitter....I always thought I was a beginner. I have more courage, thanks to you, to tackle my our learning curve...all because of you.
Wow! Thank you for pointing out these great websites! Now, if you don't hear from me for a while, not to worry. It's just that I'm perusing this interesting information and have lost all track of time. 😁
Can't thank you enough for putting this together. I was familiar with all but the 4th site. Now that I've resumed knitting (1st grandchild, so of course!) after a 2-yr. hiatus, I'm having to reacquaint myself with techniques I used to know like the back of my hand. But also learning new techniques. What fun!
You had me at "y'all"...I'm now a new S'scriber. I'm knit-curious, so I popped in for a look-see, since you offered five different sites to help, and then you said "y'all" and won my ♡.
YOU are a wealth of knowledge and information, and so very down to earth. Your large laugh always makes me smile and your content has made me a better knitter and gave me the courage to start my journey down the road of budding designer. Thank you for all you do. When things become a little more stable I will be joining your patreon group. Cheers.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is wonderful to hear that my videos have helped someone. Often I feel like I am just talking to my computer LOL.
Thanks so much for these. I use Knit Purl Hunter all the time to find out how to do something. Her video on fixing cable is amazing. I will definitely be checking out the others as well.
Thank you So much for all your information. I stumbled onto your channel this morning and am watching everything you post. It has helped me out more than anything with my knitting.All the questions I have had and finally I got my answers. Looking forward to more. Thanks again!!!😁
Great video! I love Knitting Help, it was so helpful when I was learning to knit because I figured out that continental was my style. I used the CZcams of course, but waded through some unhelpful videos along the way. I love knit purl hunter and knitty as well. Ravelry is a fine resource, but like you said, it’s a database and these sites help us knitters in the middle of the night when we need instructions on how to do the Kitchener stitch for that sock we’re finishing. 🧶😀
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH! This was incredibly helpful and interesting! I've added a link to THIS VIDEO on my Ravelry Home Page! And I'll add a link to all of these helpful websites as well! Thank you for taking a nice amount of "show and tell" for each website.
Barbara, thank you so much for sharing these sites! I consider myself a very new, I am really looking forward to exploring these sites to increase my knowledge and skill.
TechKnitting! So glad this blog is active again. Sometimes I want a quick answer - but not often. I tend to be as much a "WhY?" guy as a "HOW?" guy. Love to get right down to the sub-atomic level of knitting with TechKnitter.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Here's an example of how the knitting world and space/time are both folded back on themselves. Shortly after this video, Stacy at Very Pink released a podcast in which she mentions a method for attaching a zipper to a knit item. The link she included was to a Video of the marvelous Eunny Jang, demonstrating the process, and in the intro she tells us that it comes from ... TechKnitter!
Wonderful list! Knitty was extremely useful when it started - and I was getting back into knitting. Our family was just beginning, so the fact that their patterns looked nice, were generally well-written, and FREE made it my go-to resource. I'm happy to say that over a decade later I am pleased to have the opportunity to give back as a Patron.
Great to learn about these site. Thanks so much for the info! A quick question do you like to wind your yarn into cakes or balls? My local yarn shop doesn’t like cakes she likes to wrap hers in balls. I have not bought a winder yet but now I am not sure. Maybe I will have her wind me a cake and see how I like it.
I do cakes but mainly because I have a swift and winder and it is faster (handwinding takes a long time). If you were going to buy one piece I would buy a swift before I bought a winder. You can hand wind or use a winder off a swift, but a winder by itself isn't particularly useful.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit thanks for the info I was like the brand Stanwood imports they have nice swifts and winders and combo packages. Do you like to pull from center or outer?
💕Thank you and thank you for the resources. I need to learn knitting left handed and have been struggling to find left hand knitting teachers, and if you know of any please let me know. Most appreciative. 🙏
I would need to clarify what you mean by "knitting left handed". Do you simply mean tensioning the yarn in your left hand ie: Continental knitting? Or do you mean being a left handed knitter and truly mirror knitting? I am a right handed, Continental knitter. Most left handed knitters I know simply learn to knit the traditional way. You have to use both hands to knit so really it's a wash.
@@LoveEmpress5 This is a great list of resources provided by Barbara, but you're right! There are hardly any resources for true lefty or mirror knitters. Over at KnitChats, we have our awesome knitting & crochet coach, Jessica, who's our lefty specialist. She'd love to help you with your projects :)
@@knitchats Glory Be! Thank you ever so much! I'm just seeing your repl. I was thinking about starting practicing knitting last night! I appreciate you thinking of me. 🙏💗! Blessed Love!
Hi Barbara. Thx so much for the info. I hv bookmarked all of these. I hv been looking for a device or technique that will help me in keeping 2 strands of yarn (holding dbl) positioned in such a way that the preferred colorway always shows on top. I do a lot of color manipulation when I work with heavily verigated yarns. I hvnt been able to find anything that deals with this. When I search “holding dbl strands,” I always come up with something to do with fair isle or some other type of color work. But I digress, I am happy for more research materials to continue my search.
Hi Barbara many of your videos have awesome and very helpful information and helped a lot, do you have a third lesson on how to understand reading patterns couse I'm stuck where it says repeat 24th row, rows 1to 24 incl form patt. Con in pattuntill work measures, do I need to do 24 rows again? I'm still learning thank you so much for sharing your helpful information many thks 💐
There is not a third video yet because there are just so many different ways designers provide instructions. I'm afraid that I would just be guessing at the answer to your question unless I could see the whole pattern and understand the context. Con in patt means continue in pattern, so if the 24 rows create the pattern than I would guess yes, you need to do rows 1 - 24 again and again until you reach the desired length.
*OK, that did it! I'm gone hafta subscribe to your channel! LOL ♥♥♥* _p.s. and I don't even knit. I crochet. But me'thinks I'll be learning to knit soon._ ☺
Crochet is awesome, I just can't do it well enough to make a video LOL. Thank you so much for watching, I am sure you will pick up knitting quickly. I find most crocheters can (personally, I think crochet is way harder LOL).
Great video - I know now how I will be spending my weekend 🤣 Any book recommendations and other youtube channels to view for techniques? My favorite resources: (1) I love older books aka anything by Barbara G. Walker, Ann Budd’s The Knitter’s Handy Book of Knitting Patterns, and Nancie Wiseman’s The Knitter’s Book of Finishing Techniques to name a few. (Maybe a segment on how big is your knitting library stash) (2) other than your great content (you always put a smile on my face with your infectious humor), I love “Knitting with Suzanne Bryan” - great channel for learning techniques.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I don't spend a lot of time with knitting tutorials on CZcams LOL. But I know Very Pink Knits has just about everything you can imagine tutorial wise. It's one of the reasons I don't do a lot of tutorials ... there are so many out there. When I need to figure out a new technique I usually just search CZcams for it and watch several videos of varying quality until it makes sense to me.
Hello Barbara, I love watching you. I'd love to learn knitting but haven't found good virtual classes. I signed up at Udemy, Annie's but not totally satisfied. Do you offer virtual classes? If so, how can I sign up. Thank you for your help.
I teach Zoom classes through my local yarn store but they aren't really "learn to knit" classes. I have contemplated using something like Udemy to do classes, but the work involved is daunting and I don't know if it would be financially worth my investment in time and money. The best way to find out about upcoming live Zoom classes is to either join the Watch Barbara Knit Facebook group or sign up for my very sporadic newsletter.
Thank you so much for putting this video together. I go to the politicized community of knitters that it not a community, and make all my purchases from the personal websites of the designers featured there. Webs' yarn.com has renamed Navaho Red to Brick Red as though it is wrong to honor the Navaho culture for their beautiful artistry. That is only one example I found there. I hear rumors that the backlash has begun, may it come swiftly and save us all from this evil of division in the name of unity.
In my previous comment I forgot to mention another helpful CZcams channel and site I've been exploring lately: www.CZcams.com/c/NimbleNeedles www.Nimble-Needles.com/
I’m struggling with sewing together baby booties. I tried over & nearly 70times and was on it for 15 hrs a day. I kid you not!! Now I couldn’t sew it up and ruined it by trying to much threading and pulling it out.. I struggled sewing up headbands as well. I think it’s time to hang the needles up and move on.
I am so sorry. Instead of hanging the needles up you might want to consider trying some patterns that don't require sewing up. Just because one technique is giving you fits at your current skill level doesn't mean that there aren't other things out there you could knit! Try a scarf or a dishcloth to get your feet wet.

Yeah! Thank you so much! Thats so helpful! 🙇♀️
Wonderful!
I started a new Pinterest board with these sites!
Very cool!
Thanks, your the bomb.
Thank you!
Great video - I know now how I will be spending my weekend 🤣
Any book recommendations and other youtube channels to view for techniques? My favorite resources: (1) I love older books aka anything by Barbara G. Walker, Ann Budd’s The Knitter’s Handy Book of Knitting Patterns, and Nancie Wiseman’s The Knitter’s Book of Finishing Techniques to name a few. (Maybe a segment on how big is your knitting library stash) (2) other than your great content (you always put a smile on my face with your infectious humor), I love “Knitting with Suzanne Bryan” - great channel for learning techniques.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I don't spend a lot of time with knitting tutorials on CZcams LOL. But I know Very Pink Knits has just about everything you can imagine tutorial wise. It's one of the reasons I don't do a lot of tutorials ... there are so many out there. When I need to figure out a new technique I usually just search CZcams for it and watch several videos of varying quality until it makes sense to me.
THANKYOU!
I hope the video is helpful for you!
Hello Barbara, I love watching you. I'd love to learn knitting but haven't found good virtual classes. I signed up at Udemy, Annie's but not totally satisfied. Do you offer virtual classes? If so, how can I sign up. Thank you for your help.
I teach Zoom classes through my local yarn store but they aren't really "learn to knit" classes. I have contemplated using something like Udemy to do classes, but the work involved is daunting and I don't know if it would be financially worth my investment in time and money. The best way to find out about upcoming live Zoom classes is to either join the Watch Barbara Knit Facebook group or sign up for my very sporadic newsletter.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit thank you, Barbara 👍

Thank you so much for putting this video together. I go to the politicized community of knitters that it not a community, and make all my purchases from the personal websites of the designers featured there. Webs' yarn.com has renamed Navaho Red to Brick Red as though it is wrong to honor the Navaho culture for their beautiful artistry. That is only one example I found there. I hear rumors that the backlash has begun, may it come swiftly and save us all from this evil of division in the name of unity.
In my previous comment I forgot to mention another helpful CZcams channel and site I've been exploring lately:

I’m struggling with sewing together baby booties. I tried over & nearly 70times and was on it for 15 hrs a day. I kid you not!! Now I couldn’t sew it up and ruined it by trying to much threading and pulling it out.. I struggled sewing up headbands as well. I think it’s time to hang the needles up and move on.
I am so sorry. Instead of hanging the needles up you might want to consider trying some patterns that don't require sewing up. Just because one technique is giving you fits at your current skill level doesn't mean that there aren't other things out there you could knit! Try a scarf or a dishcloth to get your feet wet.
👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
