Thank you! This is the video I was looking for. There are so many videos out there that claim to be for left handers but are really right handed people holding the yarn in their left hand.

Hi I have watch d a number of videos and I find yours the easiest to follow Thank You Would you please explain to me why some videos show putting yarn in the left hand to purl stitch, but have you hold yarn in the right hand for knitting like you do which is so much easier to do?

Finally found lefty help. Thank you. I just started knitting 5 months ago and am self taught. It is so difficult to find left hand help. My grandma taught me how to crochet when I was a little girl and I would sit across her to learn to crochet. Cheers from SoCal

This is the best leftie beginner video I have found on KZbin! Thank you! I need some advice though…when the time comes to “wrap the yarn around”, I can never remember from which direction to wrap it and tend to get it backwards. Any tips on an easy way to remember which way to wrap the yarn? Thanks in advance!😊😊😊😊

I am a LEFTY, and I just started learning to knit (via KZbin) 3 months ago. It is SO nice having left-handed demonstrations!! Can you do some “next step” videos, like how to work in a “CC” or contrast color, and videos on how to fix mistakes? Thanks, Ellen - your videos are helpful!!

I think I need to switch to knitting left handed. Im pretty good with knit stitches right handed using the English style, but I cannot purl at all 😅 I’ve been crocheting left handed for about a year, so I’m used to working yarn with a tool in my left hand

I'm really confused. I've been doing very basic knitting right handed style while moving the left needle (as a child I was taught by a friend's left handed mum but school decided I had to learn right handed) however I'm now trying to learn left handed so I can teach my left handed child to knit left handed properly. Your videos have been absolutely fantastic! I'm just struggling with this one, if you're able to help I'd appreciate it. Thank you

Thank you for this video! I fought with this for hours yesterday watching another video and got so frustrated. I’m a crocheter and I’ve wanted to learn knitting for a while. I’m going to keep trying. My loops just slip right off my needles so your method of holding the loops will hopefully help me stop that. Thank you again! Great explanations and visuals!

I think by 'wrapping' the need around the yarn, vs doing it on the needle the continental way, you 'spin' on the stitch , does confuse ppl. Most just learned how to cast on and garter stitch.

It's nice to find a video from a left handed person... I've managed to learn basics from mirrored videos, but they are often just mirrored and sometimes terminology from the right handed videos apply... gets so confusing 😆
