I have to thank you Norman. After only knowing the knit stitch and failing to finish scarfs and blankets for over a decade, this project, and your accompanying videos, taught me to purl, do the moss stitch, and knit cast on. One of your videos also helped me fix a dropped stitch. Excited to actually create and gift beautiful items I have made!

I've been knitting the continental way for many years, but I learned something new from you.

I have also been making dish cloths, my son and daughter-in-law like the knitted ones, and I wanted to try a different pattern.

I am getting the yarn tomorrow. I think this will be a good project to re-learn the pear stitch. Having been a mostly self-taught continental knitter, i looked at your better pearl stitch video and you finally did my version, I twist my peal stitches… But I think when I get to lace work that is more than YO, I might be in trouble. I have no problems with 2 color knitting but it might be a good time to develop a better habit. These dish cloth/hot pads might take awhile lol. But better now than never.

@@tahneetruscott2029 that is not true. At least from my point of view. that's why all my tutorials come with a video AND separate written instructions on my blog. That's why you will find schematics and close-up macro shots of all important steps in all my written instructions. that's why all my videos come with closed captions. that's why I switched to yarn/needles that work for color/vision impaired users in my newer videos. That's why I try to gesture a lot as I talk, while keeping the focus in the upper half of the screen so it does not interfere withcaptions. That's why I try to keep my backgrounds clean and simple, and I try not to ramble too much or use flashy things. Of course. I am only one person here and there are limits to my capabilities. And this is an older video where I still had to learn quite a bit about these things or rather how to implement them. Still, if you feel that there are things I could make better, name them and I can try to account for them in future videos and tutorial.
