Happy to add a fourth skill set to my repertoire! I’ve learned crochet, Tunisian crochet, knitting, and now knooking, in that order.

[@shia7421]

Thank you. I've been crocheting my whole life and am very advanced but knitting never seemed to work. Now I can knook and create knitted designs too. Thanks!

[@emilysmith2784]

It’s a whole new world!!

[@EkeneChime-y5o]

Thanks 👍😊 alot!!!❤😊❤

I've tried knitting SO many times and have had multiple people try to teach me and I never could get it but I can understand crochet just fine. This just blew my mind this makes so much more sense to me

[@emilysmith2784]

I felt the same. I wish more people knew about knooking. It’s the best bits of knitting and crochet combined!!

[@McKenzieIdeality]

Oh my gosh! I have been trying to figure this out myself because knitting is ridiculously hard for my crochet brain. I tried a regular crochet hook and a tunisian hook but always ran into a problem! This makes me happy that there really is a way to do this:)

[@emilysmith2784]

Just be warned you may never go back to crochet. I rarely do anything other than knooking now. I just wish it was more popular.

[@SbeeCreates]

I'm thinking of trying this. Thanks for the tutorial. 🙂🧶

[@emilysmith2784]

Good luck. Let me know how it goes 🙂

thanks for this video! now I can 'knit' lol now how to do this left handed. I can't figure out how to make the video do a mirror flip so I can do it left handed, but eh I can't do it. my right hand is struggling lol when I try it left handed, what comes out is the front and back side alternate. its pretty I love it but I still want to be able to have a solid face and solid back side

[@emilysmith2784]

I have actually been trying to do it left handed so I don’t have to purl 😂. Ill keep working on it and post if I have success.

[@deltamico]

Had a discouraging attempt at knitting, so I might make this special hook out of wood and try knooking instead ^^ Also, since you're not moving the hook far enough backwards as in crochetting puffs, the flip-flop mechanism for repairing dropped stitches can be added aswell.

[@emilysmith2784]

Good luck. I used wooden crochet hooks with holes drilled in them too, when I first started.

[@loriboggs3231]

Could you PLEASE do a video on how to add stitches in the middle of the work? I’m totally struggling with how to do this so the cord goes through these extra stitches

[@emilysmith2784]

Sure. I will add it to my list 😊

[@emilysmith2784]

Hi Lori, I have just uploaded a tutorial today on how to do increases, I show 3 different methods. I hope its helpful for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmQlKKEqZp_oNE

[@pelagiastachurska2855]

Hard to understand.

[@emilysmith2784]

Sorry to hear that. I am happy to help, which part are you struggling with?

[@pelagiastachurska2855]

@@emilysmith2784 Don’t know if you can because it is the actual audio. It is hard to understand even with the headphones.

[@emilysmith2784]

@@pelagiastachurska2855 yeah not much I can do about that. Have you tried watching with captions?

[@mariatortiz6036]

Too much work for nothing¡;!,,,,,!,,,!!,,

[@OGJacey]

This is slow and tedious and in no way makes any sense. Knitting is fast and comfortable, just learn how to actually knit.

[@emilysmith2784]

That’s your opinion. My experience is different, I tried knitting and it just didn’t work for me. I prefer this, it’s fine if you don’t but it not very nice to be completely dismissive of a craft because you don’t understand it.

[@Drocks027]

I tried to knit for 10 years (off and on) and never could get the hang of it. Picked up crochet and it clicked right away. Then I found out about knooking. It is the best of both worlds for me. You said things that are obvousily true for you, but not necessarily for other people.

[@MissRegionRat]

This is a tutorial so it’s slowed down. Knitting tutorials look just as tedious lol
