​@@marymarymillidweeb2661 Mary, I too am dazzled by Normans amazing knitting skills but I know if we take it slowly, we will gradually grow as we learn from him. He is the best knitter I have found on YT and already I am very slowly picking up tips from him. To be honest, and this sounds stupid, I find his casting on mind blowing but it looks the best way and so neat. Knitting is really growing on me but practice makes perfect. Thank you dear Norman x

I love combining crochet and knitting. I use knitted ribbing. On a glove, mitten, or sleeve. Crochet 'fake' ribbing doesn't look as nice and more importantly doesn't hold its shape as well as knitted ribbing. I've used crochet to pick up stitches on edges. I'm always looking for easier and quicker ways to accomplish the work.

I have started combining as well. I had to get to a point where I was confident in knitting (I'm at 2 years of knitting compared to 40+ crochet). I'm currently using a crochet star stitch on a hat with a knitted brim. I never did like the crochet "ribbing" so I'm super excited to combine crafts.

I used to consider myself a proficient knitter until the day I collapsed into a coma for five days. My life is as divided as our calendar convention BC/AD. We have a different convention now but I prefer the older. It took a year to be able to, without a pattern cast on for a stockinette hat in the correct size and you get the idea. This is an awesome video. It reminds me of techniques and teaches me new ones. I’ll have to watch it to relearn. He has put so much information in this with small swatches. Brilliant

i personally learned crochet before knitting, and the second i learned how to cast off i knew it would be easier and faster for me to chain-bind off with a hook! I also love the circular needle hack stripes, and not cutting yarn between colors for 2 row stripes- I recently used it on a sweater and did NOT miss weaving in those extra ends!

Amazing tips, Norman! You said it was going to be mind blowing but I still wasn't prepared to *actually* have my mind blown. I'm still on the newer end of being an intermediate knitter, but I think almost all of these techniques are ones that I can make use of now or in the near future. I'm definitely not at the advanced level, but with how you explained everything I was able to follow 99% of what you said. I appreciate that your tips are widely applicable for a lot of projects, especially the cast on/off and increases/decreases. I can't believe how simple the Turkish cast on is, I've somehow never seen it before now. The combined cast on is a huge game changer. And the shaping possibilities with stacked increases!! This video is definitely one I will be revisiting in the future to reference. Thank you so much!

I am such a new knitter from crocheting ,that when it came time to bind off , I didn't know how, so happy was I to figure out this really easy way to purl and then to knit on the back side of my needles, so I just took my 2.5 crochet hook and handled my business! Not knowing how to do something doesn't stop me! About halfway through your video I reached a full saturation point , the nothing made any sense anymorel. So I am going to have to revisit after I use some of this knowledge from today's visit and get it out of my head and into practical usage before I can sponge up some more of your infinite wisdom. Thanks for all your help, Norman. Even though I had watched her videos and you made me believe I could do it I still had not got needles into my hands to do it. Now that I have done so there is a world of understanding coming to me.

Newbie knitter here- I am just amazed how you knit so close to the tips of your needles 🪡- It’s boggling my mind as to how you don’t lose your work! Another comment I would like to share is how refreshing it is to see a lot of information and techniques back to back with explanations and examples done so quickly because I think it helps to see ahead even though I am not very experienced. Its like getting the answers before I even start! Love your channel and thank you!

You've got me so excited to get back into knitting. I've done some basic stuff in the past like knit and purl, scarfs and square mats and things but after watching many of your videos I'm going to give knitting in the round and hats and socks a try. Hopefully after I'm done with that I can try to move onto some mittens.

❤ Thank you for all your instructional videos! When I’m trying to learn something new your my go to channel to find what I need. It’s always solid advice and I love how you make videos so easy to understand. I ran by your channel while looking for someone who knit like me…which now thanks to you, I now know is continental knitting style. I also discovered, that I was knitting wrong the whole time! I learned to knit by myself by trying to remember the movements of the hands my aunt made when I was a child. So, I was knitting through the back loop and twisting all my knits. I couldn’t figure out why everyone’s hand movements in videos and everywhere else was so different from mine. Thank you for helping me to not only understand what I was doing wrong, but showing me how to correct my knitting so that I can now understand with ease your hand movements and then be able to mimic what you are trying to teach us. You are a treasure trove! You asked us to state if we want to know more about lace knitting, and I most certainly do! Late spring and summer use to be my slow down or stop time for knitting. I mean who really needs thick knitted stuff in my hot and muggy southern American states? However, I have now found a new and deep appreciation for light summer knits and lace knitting in light yarns, they are perfect for summer! Also, being able to add lace knitting to the repertoire is a skill I would love to acquire. Thanks in advance! Last but not least, I just wanted to point out, how beautiful your hands are, always well kept, clean, and just a pleasant. They never draw attention away from what you’re trying to teach. As you say, it’s all about those little details that make a major difference! Your voice is always calm and words are clearly understood, regardless of accent….which I love by the way. Volume on videos is great as well as lightning and in frame and focus…trust me, some videos will leave you feeling stressed out trying to see, hear or understand them! So this makes me appreciate your videos all the more. Thanks again, and keep up the amazing work, you’re a blessing to all us knitters.❤
