This is a very detailed tutorial with altogether 10 common knitting mistakes and how to avoid them. All these tips and tricks have nothing to do with knitting a single stitch yet have such a huge impact on the look of your finished project. And these are not just beginner knitting mistakes. Even a lot of advanced knitters make them. They pick the wrong yarn, knit in a bad spot/bad posture, never take breaks, don't track their progress and so much more. Yet, by following a couple of easy knitting tips and tricks, it's quite simple to achieve neater results. Here are my suggestions.

[@TRuth120]

I weave in my ends after 40 minutes of knitting, then put the knitting down for 20 minutes to rest my hands. Is that weird?

[@jfklolike]

Operating a tapestry needle is not like operating a chainsaw 😂 I will remember this for the rest of my life! Thank you Norman!

[@aniwillandcan3748]

I would add another non-knitting tip: get a manicure! I was working with a looser yarn and my dry cuticles kept snagging the yarn. If a manicure isn't in the budget, going to sleep with some heavy duty moisturizer on your hands will help immensely. Love your videos Norman!

[@jeongbalsancat]

Cuticle oil and stone pushers. I leave cuticle remover / oil on mine for a bit (5 mins or so) and roll the stone pusher all around the cuticle area like I'm body scrubbing and it gently and cleanly rubs away all that dry dead skin like an eraser

[@lynnbean7200]

I don't do manicures but I do keep some nail clippers in my knitting bag as I often get rough edges that catch on my yarn.

[@purlsndrops]

As a IBCLC I have an abundance of lanolin samples and I have found that it’s really great to use on the hands right before working with wools. I haven’t tried it with other fibers yet.

[@Moon_Thief_420]

I highly recommend O'Keeffe's Working Hands lotion! It's completely unscented so it won't transfer any scents to your yarn, and it's unbelievably soothing for dry skin. I keep a tube in my knitting bag, just in case.

[@Bunny-ch2ul]

If you're making something for yourself, know what you're actually going to wear. I hate going into yarn shops and having the clerk tell me that I need to experiment with color more. I love black, gray, and navy. I do buy things in other colors, but the majority of what I wear is black, gray, or navy. I know too many people who've bought the most exquisite yarn in the most interesting color, and worn the sweater they made twice because it doesn't go with anything they own, or the color just doesn't suit them. It's great to get out of your comfort zone and try something new now and then, but a time consuming sweater in expensive yarn isn't a great opportunity to do so. If you want to branch out into new colors, go try on some clothes at a shop and see how you really feel in those colors. If you're making something for someone else, know what they actually like. Pick something specifically for them. If your friend has expensive taste, and only wears top of the line clothing, they probably don't want an acrylic scarf. If your friend doesn't like to put a lot of effort into how they dress, a fussy pattern, or yarns that have to be hand washed are probably a poor choice. Someone very sporty probably doesn't want a delicate cashmere and silk sweater. They'd probably appreciate something in super wash instead. Also, consider what colors they wear most. I don't want a yellow sweater, no matter how sumptuous the yarn is. If your friend has young kids, they probably aren't going to want something in white. If you've never seen your grandson in a cardigan, don't make him a cardigan. Make him a crew neck. If you've never seen your niece in a chunky sweater, choose something lighter weight. People like to say that with handmade gifts "it's the thought that counts" but what they should really say is, *"It's the amount of thought that counts."* There's nothing more discouraging than making something for someone that they don't wear often. Put in as much thought as possible when you pick projects for gifts. Moreover, if you've given someone more than one or two pieces, and they don't wear them, don't make them anything else. Move on, and make something for someone who will appreciate it.

[@NimbleNeedles]

appreciate your additions, bunny. thank you for sharing your experience with us here

[@danbev8542]

Excellent points! My wonderful MIL, who was an excellent Knitter, made 2 beautiful Aran sweaters for my 3 year old. She didn’t realize that he was unusually tall for his age (no other children around during our frequent visits) & they barely fit him the day she gave them to us. I was so sad that he was never able to wear them.

[@christineburrows4892]

I have been knitting since i was 6 yrs old and I am now 70 yrs old. My memory is getting worse and I have cataracts so reading patterns and keeping my place is a challenge. Your suggestion of using cards with cut out windows to place over the pattern so I can find my place. Brilliant.

[@bgummeson]

When I’m really involved in a project I need to remind myself that nothing good happens after midnight. 😉 Thanks for another great video. I’m guilty of leaving yarn out where it can fade, so appreciate the nudge to get it put away.

[@NimbleNeedles]

that is so true. as I said, I have been there more than one but...well...too often it's not a good idea ^^

[@sophieonthemtn1239]

I love you, Norman!! How many other knitting instructors will tell you that weaving in ends is as important to knitting as taking out the garbage is to cooking!?! Great suggestions. Last night, "just one more row" on a short-row sock led to ripping out five.

[@NimbleNeedles]

oww..well...pity I published this video today. But I guess it sounds like you learned that lesson yourself - albeit the hard way. But those usually stick, eh? :)

[@purlsndrops]

As it often does. 😂 🐸

[@baeumchen6384]

Came to the comment section to point out that I in fact finished a project (not knitting but crochet is close enough 😆) after having it float around for 4 years. Then I remembered about those tails that still need to be weaved in 🙃 Thank you for this video, I've picked up knitting again a few days ago and am already guilty of "just one more row" and bad-light-knitting.

[@phoener]

I bought the neck light you recommended, and it is wonderful! I have even purchased them as presents for both knitting and non-knitting friends. Everyone loves them for crafting and reading. Thank you, Norman!

[@NimbleNeedles]

welcome to the dark...er..light side! :)

[@gaylynyoung6387]

I have one and absolutely hate it. It does not stay focused on my work. I have no idea why. Maybe I move around too much. It was really frustrating because I thought it was trouble be great.

[@ooohlaa13]

Since it is the wonderful Norman recommending, I checked the reviews on this before purchase, living on social security funds I am very discriminating spender and always read the negatives to see when I make a purchase, is this something I can live with if it happens to me. Well the negatives are many that it only worked briefly and one caught fire and showed photos. Can't imagine but be mindful of this. Many people are disappointed in the product for good reasons of longevity but they loved it while it lasted. Wondered if maybe Norman bought elsewhere and this is a chinese knock off situation, happens a lot??? Sorry to be a debbie downer here, I love Norman and his teaching style, presentations and final outcomes are meticulously wonderful. .

[@The_double_ewe]

I recently got one of the neck lights I absolutely love it. My eyes don’t feel as tired, also I noticed some of my migraine problems went away. I completely agree the neck light is the best $20 tool I’ve added to my kit. I still have the bad habit of not taking breaks when I should, I started setting a timer on my phone just to ensure that I put the needles down and get some fresh air.

[@NimbleNeedles]

yes, setting a time is a good method. I usually drink tea when knitting..and while I love my tea dearly, my bladder cycles through a cup of tea quicker than you can count to ten...so I sort of have to take breaks every so often anyway *grin*

[@YvonneWilson312]

I am one of those weird souls who enjoys weaving in ends! I find it very meditative and relaxing. You make some very good and important points in this video, Norman. You are such a good teacher, very straightforward in your approach and I really like that. Your comments about choosing the yarn and not being seduced by every hand dyed colourway are so important. I myself have purchased some yarns that looked amazing on the skein but whatever you do with them, those amazing colours just don't look the same at all. I don't mean pooling because that can be controlled - just working whatever stitches or pattern you try can detract from the colourway you thought would emerge. Art isn't always practical in that way! Great video.

[@NimbleNeedles]

that's actually the reasonw hy I don't really buy colorways. I like to incorporate a pattern through my stitches/needles..and not through colormadness randomness ;-) But it sure can look amazing with the right plain pattern - it's just not my thing.

[@diamondringirl]

you have a great point Yvonne, just last yr i was able to purchase hand dyed yarn for my first time. although i still haven't used it, seeing other people's items i see exactally what you mean. i will find the right item for it but i surely don't want a costly hank of yarn go to something i could make from five and dime yarn if you know what i mean.

[@herbertlongfellow7702]

Me too, I like weaving on the ends.

[@catherinekhalili4412]

I don’t mind weaving in ends

[@krazedvintagemodel]

I enjoy your straight to the point content. My favorite parts of this video were "Don't sit on your knitting needles" (or step on them, as I have), and throughout I noticed a recurring color scheme, which I appreciated as well. Prayers for peace to all. 🧶

[@miriamcromwell7260]

How right you are about one more row. Finally, after years of knitting, I've learned that lesson.

[@DeeManson]

I like the blue/yellow setup in this video 🕊😌

[@NimbleNeedles]

For me, knitting is escapisms. Those 2 hours a day, those are precious time for me to recharge. Still, I felt it's only just and right to hide some little easter eggs given the current situation.

[@danbev8542]

I love it! Will look for more in your other videos! 🇺🇦 🌼🪻🌼 🇺🇦

[@CrowdedMinds]

Thank you for the video. I can definitely relate to “just one more row”! Loved your colour theme! 🇺🇦💙💛🕊

[@YukonRoseinLV]

I haven't been knitting for long - only a few months now - but I learned quickly not to leave my knitting unattended on the couch. I set it down on the couch one evening and stepped outside with one of my corgis. The other stayed inside (I thought he would follow, they have a dog door!) When we went back in, my knitting was in the middle of the room and he had this "It wasn't me!" look on his face. Luckily no damage was done, but it taught me a lesson. He also likes to boop my yarn with his nose while I'm knitting. The other one wants absolutely nothing to do with yarn or knitting needles.

[@nmrowdy4605]

Norman I love your channel! You are a ray of sunshine that lifts me up. Your advice about taking proper care of your hands is paramount for pain-free knitting. I have been knitting for many years, I will be 60 soon, and my hands are so painful that I can no longer knit for 8 hours.

[@NimbleNeedles]

You are so welcome. In fact, I think I should do a full episode on "Pain free knitting"

[@ConnieeCoo]

Great useful video as usual. Lovely subtle use of colour to show your solidarity too 💛💙✊🏻

[@NimbleNeedles]

how could I not? i mean, this is a knitting channel and I leave dabbling in politics to the pros. Yet, i can show my own allegieance, right? :)

[@CrowdedMinds]

Glad I wasn’t the only one to notice this! 🇺🇦🕊

[@magelinekelley7536]

Hi Norman! I just wanted to say thank you again for your videos. I now watch at least one everyday to help set my knitting mind. It’s like therapy to me. Every one of your videos is such a great pep talk. I take so much comfort in your voice, in how to be a better crafter. I take solace in the hours that I knit. But I needed to be reminded that taking a break and enjoying the journey by checking my work every so often, taking care of my other needs throughout the day (and much more) is a part of the ways in how to enjoy my knitting life. Thank you for being here.

[@NimbleNeedles]

happy to be of help!

[@jjbjjbh]

Thank you Norman for these for neglected but wise suggestions. Can’t tell you how much your videos have helped me understand knitting better.

[@TobyMax853]

Great video once again and love the scarf and hat 🇺🇦

[@NimbleNeedles]

at first, i wanted to keep things subtle with just the decoration in the background, but then I thought - what the heck ;-)

[@tracyvision]

Great tips as usual Norman. Picking the right yarn! I don’t see this discussed enough but it’s crucial - yarn weight, fiber type, variegated or solid, how the yarn is spun even, it all makes such a difference.

[@NimbleNeedles]

you are absolutely right and I totally wish it was more of a topic. Yarn really can make or break a project.

[@annofgreencables]

One of my granddaughters has recently taken up knitting. I shared this video with her. I’m sure she will be a huge fan. Thank you for helping us realize our best knitting.😊😝

[@hopetoknit1]

12:45 p.m. What an informative and stress relieving video! I have never listened to a video that presented such basic points to follow in knitting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@NimbleNeedles]

Wow, thank you!

[@terricleary7497]

I liked how the blue tulip "slouched" at 7:30 as we're told not to slouch ourselves. 🙂

[@estefanamanrique3317]

So true!!! The "one more row" is my kind of problem... this habit is a strong one for me. As you said, it may turn bad sometimes. Thank you Norman, you are such a fine observer!

[@sarahjane8063]

I watched your podcast and listened to all your tips. Then picked up my knitting about 10pm. I started to make mistakes with my tension, ripped it back several times, then at quarter to 1 in the morning actually noticed myself thinking "just one more row" 🤔😳. Then I thought again and decided to go to bed! Thank you for your videos Norman 🙂

[@NimbleNeedles]

my pleasure, Sarah. And yeah..1am sounds like a good time to give your knitting a rest ;-)

[@robynwilliamson7066]

Thank you Norman for all the great advice. I’ve been knitting for years and didn’t know a lot of that.

[@keedledee]

Thank you. I ordered the knitting light right after I watched your informative video.

[@deborahlochhead4087]

a TOO funny not to mention. it was 11:30 PM when I was watching this....knitting in hand...LOL. Yes I put it away:). Thanks again, your videos are very enlightening!!

[@sarahputman1898]

This statement about weaving in ends, both made me laugh and called me out: "You really need to get your act together" 😅😆

[@phillipharrelson9721]

Thank. You for these suggestions. I need to watch this several times.

[@haruejules]

Very sensible advice!!! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!!! I am going to buy a neck light as well!

[@heatherbounds7460]

Hello and 'thank you', Norman. I am literally laughing out loud at your list common mistakes, as I seem to do all of them, most especially the staying up late to knit one more row! Just getting back into knitting after thirty years and your wealth of videos is just what I was looking for. Happy Knitting from Canada, Heather

[@marthakelly6487]

Excellent video, Norman. Thank you for the sensible tips and suggestions.

[@nl2766]

Excellent! Thanks for your ideas. You always present something extra that is extremely helpful.

[@NimbleNeedles]

yeah, that's the plan. I kinda of appraoch my videos a bit with an "would I watch that attitude". And if I think it's boring, I don't record it or work on the idea until I find something I can add to it. So, very happy to hear you like my approach.

[@gaygarrett-abbo5850]

What lovely & extremely useful tips I’ve heard today! Thank you so much!

[@bluewren65]

Norman, I really appreciate how you coordinate your outfits with the backgrounds in your videos. I also thought it was super cute the way you had your knitted purple tulips sitting on the desk next to that massive vase of yellow tulips. Lovely use of a complimentary palette. 👏👏👏👏

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

[@lovemesomeslippers]

I’m so glad to hear you talk about choosing yarn. I’m a newish knitter and I thought I was spending too much time dithering over yarn selection. I feel better about my process now. Finding out what experienced knitters do is helpful for me.

[@NimbleNeedles]

just want to add one more thing here: this is a hobby and you and only you decide what brings you joy and what doesn't. So, never feel bad for where you lay the focus on! :)

[@jeanashlocm2711]

[@NimbleNeedles]

thank you!

[@kaptainskarlett9927]

And don’t forget to use a stretchy bind off on the 1x1 rib swatch or else you’ll have a trapezoid and not a square.

[@autumnfoxandrabbitcrafts]

This video was brill...I really like the advice about a folder with the window for patterns!! I'm both dyslexic and suffer dyscalculia (problems with maths and numbers) so this would really help!! I also have memory problems, a bit like dementia so this is going to help a lot!!! Thank you for this video!!!xxx

[@daniellegoodleaf3804]

Thank you for this. I wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos. You're very knowledgeable and informative! I know that I'll use your videos as a resource when I move on to my next projects. Keep up the great work and I look forward to viewing more :)

[@mellrashid305]

simply practical and wonderful tips which are often overlooked. TQ so much Norman dear

[@NimbleNeedles]

My pleasure!

[@rebmedina2835]

That's true with choosing the right yarn. I spend ages in the yarn shop

[@tonisjustknotright]

I needed this video. I have at least 9 things I need to address. I have been looking for storage for my yarn and wips in my work area. Now I know what to look for. Thank you so much for all the information. Have a beautiful week.

[@NimbleNeedles]

i do love these containers. You can get them quite cheaply on amazon (that's where I get mine). They are stackable, airtight, see through. So, perfect for my uses! Have a beautiful start into the next week as well, Tonis!

[@johnmarvuglio8604]

The best best advice for me is the neck lights!! I now fly through the dark yarns! Thank you so much!

[@NimbleNeedles]

yes. It's such a biiig difference. Makes me wonder how I was able to knit before. In my youth, I almost exclusively knitted with black fuzzy alpaca yarn, and mostly brioche patterns (don't ask :P). I still marvel how I did that ^^

[@reavanante2160]

Needed to hear that. Thanks

[@yarnpower]

Great advice! I have to bribe myself to tuck in ends. I have to weave in 5 ends before I can pick up my knitting! Just 5 doesn't take long but if done daily I can finally finish projects.

[@cradock38]

Love you Norman. You are such a valuable distraction in these troubled times. Your voice is so soothing and advice so sound. Thank you so much.

[@NimbleNeedles]

Wow, thank you, Linda!

[@lindavid794]

Good tips for knitting. Love the blue/yellow! Will be knitting a yellow/ blue hat soon.

[@NimbleNeedles]

interestingly enough, it has always been one of my personal favorite color combinations. Even as a kid, I had some yellow jeans and they were my favorite thing ever!

[@blindknitter]

Just ordered the neck lights on your recommendation - woohoo!

[@joa7302]

Oooh Norman… everything in this video is so true and also relates to crochet.. I can relate to most of the mistakes you mentioned… some learned the hard way: like not blocking a swatch to end up with a top twice the size it was supposed to be.. the one more row business… And thank you for the pep talk regarding weaving the ends … you’re 100% right, and you gave me another approach to the task. Thanks again for a fantastic, informative video xx

[@NimbleNeedles]

my pleasure, Joa!

[@carlytasmith5754]

I read all my patterns entirely. I write out my patterns by hand so I can read them better as I go along. I read them again after I’ve written them to make sure I haven’t skipped anything. I make 2 copies of my patterns (one to write notes on and the other if I need to knit that item again.) I know knitters who don’t block their items and don’t like weaving in. I block all my items and actually enjoy weaving in my ends. I keep all my yarn in plastic bins too.

[@hhdalailama]

Fantastic tips. Many thanks

[@NimbleNeedles]

My pleasure, Ali!

[@darlenefarmer5921]

Thank you so much!

[@countesscable]

I’m retired now, but I spent a large chunk of my working day using a keyboard and staring at a screen. We were instructed to take short breaks every 20 minutes or so, and focus our eyes onto different distances, and also loosen up our hands, shoulders and arms. It’s just as important to do the same with knitting. You are as insightful as always Norman!

[@debbylovesyarn5148]

Fabulous tips! Thank you
