Fantastic tip! I love that after more than 50 years of knitting, I can still learn something new about the craft. Thank you.

Thank you for that I will give it a try. I’ve been knitting for 70 years and you never stop learning.

Hi Norman. What a great technique! Your instructions are always so clear. Thanks for another great tutorial!😊😊

@MARIASIEGEL-oc4qp 11 ай бұрын

Worked well! BUT I was having problem getting "bump" so I recommend smaller cable needle or doublepoint first. Secure bump with the needle and leave there. Then slip stitch and then slip bump onto left needle and proceed. I have a tendency to knit tightly, and this helped a lot.

Rather than Nimble Needles you should be called Nimble Fingers as your fingers are doing the work. I am from the UK and new to knitting again at the age of 55 . The last time I knitted was around the age of 7 when my baby nanny (named because she became so wee / tiny as she aged) taught me, but it was a totally different style than yours. I find your knitting style fascinating and quite beautiful to watch. I am determined to conquer this way of knitting, along with the help of your wonderful tutorials. I only found your YT Channel today and have already picked up a few very handy tips that had been puzzling me so I would like to say a big "THANK YOU" 🥰😍🤩😘😁 Best Wishes from the UK x

heh...well..but nimble fingers could be a looooot of things and some might even have some naughty thoughts...so...needles it is :P

Thanks! I was recommended this from the original video you mentioned and as someone who doesn’t speak German this was very helpful to clarify the technique :).

@tl4214 Жыл бұрын

So glad you presented this technique! The video is so clear compared to the IG version, and adjustable on YT to slow the speed on playback if needed. I think, too, this is better used on thinner weights of yarn.

I saw the original video and have been practising on swatches for the last 3 days ! I've found that it's much harder to do with fine plant based yarns like cotton, plus it's more difficult to see the bump when using fine needles! Also any unevenness I have was caused by uneven casting on, so don't use with 'rustic' yarns (they are spun to be thicker & thinner and so not at all even.). Have to say that your video is actually much clearer than the original one I watched. So thank you.

I love this ❤ I wanted to make a tank and it would be nice to not have to put ribbing on the bottom

@nimbleneedlestwo Жыл бұрын

you could definitely give it a try. though i would recommend knitting a bigger swatch to make sure you really like it. As I said in the video...the edge alone is not enough and there are reasons why most knitters prefer ribbings.

Do you have to use the long-tail cast-on for this to work?

@nimbleneedlestwo 8 ай бұрын

not at all. You could possibly combine it with any cast-on you like :) the bottom edge WILL look different then.

Hi Norman, can this sort of scrunching technique also be done before binding off a stockinette stitch scarf? I like to have the ends match.

@nimbleneedlestwo 2 ай бұрын

not in a similar way, no. not that i know, at least

@Cedardale_craft Жыл бұрын

Nice way to have a project that doesn't have rib or similar at the bottom edge

@LChalifoux Жыл бұрын

That's a lovely technique, Norman - thanks for teaching us! It reminds me a bit of how crocheting in the front or back pust pushes the fabric towards the back of front. I love how it looks on the back - quite decorative. Now I'm curious about how it would look as a decorative accent on the front of some stockinette stitches by setting it between two front-facing purl rows. I'll have to try it out - thanks for the inspiration! 😊💕

Hi Norman thanks so much for all your informative viedos. I refer to them often. I am planning to knit a top down sweater and I want to make a hem that is not ribbed. Can I somehow do this edge for my hem?

hm...well, you could but i have never tested this so well...

@kathy6222 7 ай бұрын

Norman, your stitches are PERFECT. You have beautiful tension control; I never see any "rowing" in your work. How in the world do you do it? Thank you for sharing all of your tips with us. :) God bless.

@nimbleneedlestwo 6 ай бұрын

practise, really. (tho, trust me, it does happen once in a while...i just fix it via blocking, etc :P)

@LottaSocks Жыл бұрын

How very interesting! I might try this on the bottom of a sweater! Question: is the fabric just as elastic as stockinette? You’ve got me thinking about different projects to use this !! Thank you!!

@nimbleneedlestwo Жыл бұрын

no, this part of the fabric will be quite a bit stiffer. Not super stiff, but noticeable different. Try it on a swatch first, if you are unsure!

@VinaTan-y3t 4 ай бұрын

Hello, may i ask how to start this in the round?

@nimbleneedlestwo 4 ай бұрын

just like any other cast-on done in the round. It would be the exact same technique. Only later on, when you knit the two rows together..but that works exactly the same as well.

@littlebishesstitches_yarn Жыл бұрын

Awesome Tip and so glad I came across this video. It will definitely come in handy for the swatches I have been knitting. For so long I thought that neat edges were only a result of good blocking. 😅 Which for me has been quite a struggle because that hasn’t been the solution in many cases 😆Now I know what I need to do in addition! Have a gread Advent Season Norman :)

That would be a really pretty edge on a bottom up garment. You could do one two or three of those rows, it would stop the garment from rolling up and it would be pretty. Then you could do it like at the sleeves before you bind it off. I just see it as something else alternative to ribbing.
