This is so helpful and to the point.

Ha ha...last comment 9 years ago?! I so agree with last comment THANK YOU!! I was also completely losing my mind thinking there was no way to do a purl after a knit without creating an extra stitch when you drop. Goshdangit!!! Ha ha...made my day!!!

Great 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you

Thank you for the tutorial

This is the fastest way to knit. I was taught this hold by a couple of senior English women. Interestingly, I have never meet someone who knits this way

I have been knitting for thirty years and never had a pattern which called for a cable cast on. This video was exactly what I need to understand what it is and how to do it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

How many stitches to cast on with a 4 ply (group A) yarn?

Sound quality is appalling. Lots of buzzing static. Please redo. My ears are bleeding!!

Why is it not the same as yfwd then?

This was exactly what I was struggling with! A very clear, short and to the point video. Just what I needed. ThankYOU!

When holding like this, how on earth do so solve it when there is a bunch more stitches on the right needle and also a long knitted part hanging down. Where do you put your hand if all that knitted is in your hand? With a small piece like that, sure it works. But very seldom are all we do that small.

That is a different way of doing helical stripes from the one I have used. Very interesting, because I now see how to create stripes with more than two colours. Thank you.

Great explanation. Thank you! ❤

Great tutorial! Thankyou.

Although I have been knitting for over 75 years I still like to see how others manage. I have watched how to join wool the Russian way rather than splicing and how to get jogless stripes when knitting on four needles or a circular. This is the first time I have seen anyone holding yarn and needles the same as me. Some wrap yarn around the right hand several times which then means it has to be repeated after every four or five stitches. The method here means you don't have to take your right hand off the needle until the end of the row - tension is controlled with the fingers. Thank you. Here was me thinking I was the odd one out!!

Thank you!! I needed this!!

What happens when you have 200 sts on the needle? How do you cram those stitches inside that area to the right of the thumb?

Thank you. Thats a lot easier looking than the written directions suggest. 😊❤

Excellent video! I've been watching videos for days and couldn't figure it out. Your tutorial was very understandable. Thank you!

That’s how I hold my yarn. Your video helped me a lot.

Thank you for sharing these ways of knitting You made it so easy to understand 😊 I have been trying for ages to knit continental style & could not work out how to hold the yarn in my left hand 🙏💙💚

Brilliant many thanks for sharing 💙💚

Love love love this! I’ve cast on two right away. I have two questions: is it a good idea to go up in needle size? And how do you decrease? Gradually? Or k2tog the last few rows?

How do you know where to put the stirch markers?

This is how I knit. I was taught by my grandmother 50 odd years ago.... 😊

thank you

Your channel helped me learn to knit about 10 years ago. I'm using blue yarn and it reminded me of your videos. Thanks for the lessons!

Found the video useful but had two lines of tight stitches because I changed colour at the same end point every row. So I ditched the markers and altered the start of every colour, I slipped the last two stitches before the change of the next colour then picked up the new colour and continued knitting. Lost the tight or loose stitches and everything is smooth a d lovely! Hope you can understand this and others find it a help.

❤👍

amazing technique thank you

wow, what a wonderful technique! thanks for sharing!

I have watched four videos previously on this cast on, failing to understand. Your explanations and camera angle helped me understand it enough to finally (FINALLY!) get a continental long tail cast-on my needles. THANK YOU! ❤

This looks relatively easy while you have very few rows on your needle(s), but how does it work when you already have many rows or rounds on your needles?

Can you do this even if you have a lot of stitches? Won't they get pushed to the top of the working needle?

thank you for this video but I am having a problem slipping the 2 stitches over the one stitch. It is just too tight!

This is my favourite channel ..I started knitting 15 years back ...and I learned from this this channel only..thanku so much..

C'est merveilleux ! Pour faire : bleu blanc rouge blanc, il faut deux pelotes de blanc et deviser par 4 ? Merci.

Great video and explanation. Helped me greatly.

The audio is awful

This is the Best video of all! Thank you!!!

Very straightforward, thank you!

Great demonstration, thanks! (Is that a cat purring in the background?)

This is the absolute most simple and clear explanation of a cable cast on. Thank you so much.

Why can't you like videos twice? This one is awesome! Thank you!

Wow

could you try and remember not everyone is a proficient knitter and slowing down and explaining step by step would be very helpful. In this instance I had to look elsewhere for help with this cast on

Works great for single stripes. If you want wider stripes then you need a separate ball for each round even if it’s the same color.

I was hoping to see instructions for decreasing. Can you make suggestions while decreasing..

youve saved my life, thank you so much !!!
