Also, the production value of the videos on this channel is consistently high; I don't remember how many tutorials I abandoned because the low quality was too distracting.

heh. awesome. Be careful tho..when you have to bind off long stretches with this bind-off you need a very long tail and this can damage the yarn with each pass a little bit.

This is so clear but also a reminder that I am still very much a beginner. I started a shawl 2 days ago with your video that has 8 patterns. I just started the first one you demonstrated. It is helpful that it is simple and helpful for muscle memory and getting confident with holding my yarn. I have only every done the very very basic bind off. I will look at some of your other bind off videos. Have a wonderful week Norman.

that sounds like a good plan. such a simple pattern can indeed help you to get accustomed to knitting and I do feel such a simple triangular shawl can still look very beautiful with the right kind of yarn!

This was the only video that worked for me! Thank you! The others were too obscure visually or verbally. I learned so much by working on my sweater waistband. I have a couple lessons learned on managing long tail yarn friction: I only used the wool yarn to bind off (I dropped the mohair yarn for this), and pulling the interchangeable needle out a bit to do the second stitch weave step over the cable part helped tremendously to draw the long tail through. I could have benefited from practicing on a swatch but didn't think about that until I was already figuring it out on the garment itself. Tinking tubular cast off stitches seems impossible so practicing on a swatch could be helpful

Thanks for showing this tubualr bind off so clearly. Alternatively, for the 2x2 rib you can also change the order of the stitches just before doing the bind off, then the twist is even less visible.

yes, you can definitely do that. you can even sew around. I thought, this method would be the..hm..most intuitive for beginners. but of course, I could be wrong ^^

A really beautiful bind off. I saw on KZbin a lady ( Irina Revo ) knitting the 2X2 without the preparation round. It looks beautiful. I haven't mastered it yet as there are so many steps I get forgetful then flustered to be followed by the "totally disgusted" stage. I will continue with the 1X1 and strive to knit it as serenely as you do it. Thank you Norman

That's where knitting combination style bites you in the butt: I have no idea where knitwise and purlwise are and if I did no guarantee all my stitches are oriented the same in one row 😂 After some struggle I figured out that in my language the repeat is: slip front to back, insert into second stitch back to front (and it's two action repeat instead of 4 hehe)

Thank you for once again doing such a clear tutorial. You always make things seem simple - or at least less stupifying 😊. My question - to convert from 2x2 to 1x1, can you just knit a row in 1x1?
@nimbleneedlestwo Жыл бұрын
hm....no..i am not sure how that's supposed to work. I mean, you definitely can start with a 1x1 rib and then increase into 2x2..but that's gonna drastically change the size of your fabric so not an option.

Thank you for this video! Do you know if the tubular cast-on / bind-off combo is suitable for later sewing both ends together when using a 1x1 rib stitch? (esp. invisibly) I imagine it is better than the regular bind off because it’s stretchier but I’m not sure if it might be too bulky. Or do you know of a better suited technique for this?
@nimbleneedlestwo7 ай бұрын
well....the best option would be starting with a provisional cast-on and then grafting the two pieces together. The tubular bind-off is a grafting technique anyway so it's actually not even harder but a lot more invisible.
