Join-As-You-Go Knitting

[@hoosiergrandma7640]

I've been knitting for 50 years and never heard of anyone knitting backwards!! You go girl!! I'm going to watch your video and try it...tomorrow when my eyes aren't blurry. :) You're never too old to learn! Woohoo!

[@AJ-Tivol]

This totally blew me away! It works great for my project that is just too big to turn around easily. I hope you were able to successfully make this work for you.

[@marianmetcalfe9069]

I'm knitting this very hat! And came to you for the picking up bit and got the backwards knitting bit as a bonus! Thank you, you have really useful helpful videos 😀

[@MegaMindyLou]

I'm a continental knitter and just taught myself to knit backward. I love not having to turn my work! Beautiful colors!!

[@bambikilla96]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE knitting backwards... makes me feel like a pro! Loved this video

[@lsneyd8790]

Thank you so much. This will save me time and make a squares blanket look even more beautiful.

[@courag1]

Very good tutorial. I use knitting backwards a lot. Useful to know not matter what your knitting style. Edge stitches notoriously slip off the needles and being able to put them back on correctly without turning is a blessing. I use knitting backwards also in learning a lace pattern as I can see what I am doing and can knit all my pattern stitches backwards as well as forwards. I'm glad you used a bright enough color of yarn to see what you are actually doing. Easy to see and understand.

I came here looking for a way to change the shape of an already made shawl. This is definitely a start. I'll have to piece information together from multiple places. Thank you!!!

[@allisonhodge4576]

Haha👏🏻👏🏻 I do this too! I love experimenting❤️

[@kellyhipkins5616]

Omg you work backwards. I never knew wow thats exciting. Thank you so much for the video beautiful work

[@TheNatashiah]

I want to end off my daughter's shawl with a horizontal cable and i'm so happy to have found this video because I was starting to think it wont be possible. Thanks a million. I'm in Egypt but from South Africa by the way :)

[@TriciaWalker43]

Thank you ! I'm trying this with a button band for a baby cardigan. Lovely clear video.

[@daboukari]

Hi Mimi, I was wondering how I could do this while attaching two long strips together that will make a knitted blanket. Thank you, your video is awesome!

[@patriciacoughlin1654]

Such a joy to watch you knit. Thank You for an excellent and professional technique.

[@Jules-gm7vk]

Thank you! I knit backwards too, but I wanted a refresher on how to attach a border

[@paulajohnson6943]

Very nice! I learned two new techniques today!!

[@hannahdewald5405]

This is perfect, but how do you start it?

[@CarrieMtn]

Wow. That was a great tutorial. Thanks for your time.

[@louise199oiseaux]

It is the first time that I'm looking at one of your videos and it's very well explained.For sure, I'm going to get a look to others. From a "francophone" of Québec : Merci! (sorry for my basic english...)

[@pasticheknitwear]

+louise oiseaux Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that the video was helpful. Happy knitting!

[@bethanykolander2498]

I LIKE your video!! Consider me SUBSCRIBED!!! No chitchat for 5 min, just clear instructions, gorgeous and quality knitting. Thank you!!

[@tinawilson9648]

Hi I'm new to this but I'm True to this life I love needles work all kinds so I can see me learning a lot from you

[@melissajenkins9960]

So to do your selvedge edge, you just slip the first stitch knit wise? I really need to learn how to knit backwards!

[@lassemachen4583]

Thank you very much for this information! 🤗 Great explanation & great video! 👍

[@lassemachen4583]

On my current project (a dog sweater for a mini dachshund) I‘m currently working the back part of the sweater. Due to the dachshund‘s special proportions, I work the breast part separately & will join it to the back part later. Now my question: I purled the selvedge sts (and sl pw the 1st dt of each row). - Do you think, I can use your on-the-go-joining technique though I have purl sts? 🤔 (Sorry, English isn’t my mother tongue 🙈 I hope, you can understand what I mean. 😁)

[@onajourneylife2242]

Sorry I know this is an old video but can you show how to ladders back up when a joined edge comes out accidentally while knitting

[@justinelloyd2859]

I just found your video and you are knitting backwards? Is it the same as what a left handed person would do? I just taught myself to crochet left handed so I could teach my granddaughter to crochet since she is left handed. I taught myself to knit and I love this video. Do you have a video on how to knit backwards in a much slower version so those of us that don't know how to knit backwards can learn? Thank you!

[@Ebonyeyed]

Thanks for the very interesting video. What type of cast on do you use when you begin? And do you join in the same way on the first row?

[@masuganut2082]

So does that mean you slip every first and last stitch? It’s crazy how you can knit backwards!! I didn’t even know that was a thing

[@karenverdier7032]

Thank you Mimi. Could you show what the wrong side looks like too?

[@jasseypants9879]

Its really hard tondo this kind of thing. And its very interesting!!!!! WOW!!!!!!

[@blackpprs1893]

Jassey Pants try it, it's fun to do and save you time from flipping your work! not to mention no yarn will get tangled! 😁

[@Bethabara9]

Would love to see what it looks like on the other side. Very few show what the wrongside looks like on all these joins

[@violetofthevalley]

Oh boy. I was feeling pretty proficient until you started knitting backwards. Now I feel like newbie. 😅

[@pasticheknitwear]

Haha. You can always just turn the work around and purl as usual. 😉

[@pasticheknitwear]

The hat is finished by an applied I-cord at the end, so no seaming at all! You can find a picture of it at the link provided in the video description.

[@wspeters]

I have knit squares for a blanket and need to join them. Can you show me how to start your cord for the join?

[@JenniGormley1]

I'm thinking of using this technique to join 6 panels of lace knitting. I understand the technique, but I can't think how to do a final join to form a tube... any suggestions???

[@anjalidatta303]

I know that this is probably way too late for your project, but I think that you could have done the following: for the final panel, at the beginning of each RS row, pick up a stitch from the panel to the right and k2tog it with the first stitch of your new panel. Then, at the end of each RS row, SSK to attach to the panel to the left as shown in this video. I've seen this tutorial on knit-in place patches that is very similar: jackie-es.com/the-designing-day/repairing-a-hand-knit-sock-with-a-knit-in-place-patch.php

[@beverlywoodwiod5564]

How do you get it started and how many stitches did you cast on?

[@popbram]

How do you start? I want to join strips. One strip is completed, and I would work and join a second, third and so on. Do you have a tutorial or could you lead me to written instructions?

[@dianesamson22]

This is great...I didn't know you can knit backward or see it written anywhere. Can I get instructions?

[@pasticheknitwear]

Yes! I and others have a tutorial on knitting backwards. Check out the one on my channel if you'd like.:-)

[@shohrehsarem9571]

Thanks 4 sharing !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜

[@shelleyn.8503]

Could you use this technique with Intarsia? I hate the little jags it makes.

[@avacastro3557]

Um, you are amazing!

[@donnathompsonlegare]

This is very interesting. Is there a place I could see the finished product? does the hat lay flat and you sew the seam at the end?

[@Geekella]

OMG what yarn are you using here? it's gorgeous!! please tell me xD

[@BeStrixed]

This is really nice, thanks for showing it. Just to clarify: You are also slipping that first stitch before you begin knitting backwards; is that correct? How can we learn to get this set up? Is there a pattern available for this hat, for instance? Thanks!

[@creationcrochetnanny8675]

Please can you show how you start first

[@semprelegato10]

How would you work this on a garter stitch selvedge?

[@gaiakendra1659]

Hola Mimi y compañeros de youtuber,megustaria saber como se llama esta tecnica en español! Alguien puede decirmelo?gracias😉👍

[@n.t111-r6m]

Kindly tell us purl wise also this video is too helpful

[@MsLucymermaid]

I was promised a photo of the finished hat!

[@bigmood4404]

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to do this with straight needles?

[@pasticheknitwear]

Absolutely! No reason why not!

[@isabelbarros3686]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ssbasketsonline]

Great share 🧶🧶😊🐰

[@evabjernelind1893]

👍👏😊🌷

[@LetroyAltidor57]

Nice

[@passionknitly5247]

You can knit backwards??? Mind blown!

[@csillakaszas7285]

really useful, but the camera is out of focus :S

[@HappyOrr]

Blurry

[@sonja_ebonheart]

Thank you. I'm knitting with bloom chunky yarn and the color pooling makes it so I have to do 2 panels of 75 to get the rosettes and stripes this helps because I don't want to have to make 2 and sew them together. This way I can knit the second on to the first I just completed
