Left Handed Knitting in the Round

[@erisisthename]

You’re a life-saver. I’m a lefty, too. Knitting has confused me for so many years. Now, whenever I need to learn a new concept for knitting, I look you up, and you’ve got me covered every time. Thank you!

[@nobleknits]

Hi Eric, I'm so happy to hear that! I also have a LEFTY 30-Day growth course you may want to check out: www.nobleknitsu.com/courses/lefty-30-days-to-become-a-better-knitter

[@erisisthename]

That’s amazing. Thank you so much!

[@IAmAnnaish]

Thank you so much for the left-handed help! This was so helpful to see

[@margareturwin5840]

At last ive found someone who knits left handed like me. Thank you so much xx

[@nobleknits]

Yay! Lefties gotta stick together! 😀

[@carolefreeman2544]

I wish you did a book for left handed knitting, there is definitely a whole in the book market for left handed knitting. It’s nice to have your videos, but I would love to have a book handy when I can not access WiFi.

Hi Carole, That is a great idea and something I will discuss with my publisher. You may also be interested in my Lefty 30-Day Growth Course: www.nobleknitsu.com/courses/lefty-30-days-to-become-a-better-knitter

Finally a leftie that doesn't speed

[@nobleknits]

Hi Kyla, Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Happy (leftie) knitting! 😍

[@judithann1035]

I am left handed and always thought I knitted lefty but after watching your videos I realized I don’t. I’m holding my work in my left hand. I’m will be 75 soon and my mom taught me to knit by sitting me in front of her when I was very very type. I think I’m to set in my ways to switch hands now. I really enjoy your videos and will continue to watch. Thank you

[@nobleknits]

Thank you so much for sharing and for your kind words. We'll keep the videos coming - let me know if there is anything specific you'd like to learn!

[@MaryThomson-kz4jh]

Thank you for showing me how to join the stitch onto the circular needle 😊

[@natalieb6134]

Thank you so much for making these knitting videos for lefty knitters . When i was trying to learn how to knit a few years ago they were hard to find them. It's hard to follow a right handed knitter . That I was almost going to try and learn to knit right handed. I would love to see a video on knitting socks and mittens.always struggled with the heel and thumb

[@marlaj6]

This is awesome! Thank you for the left handed help!❤️

[@gabriellearmstrong5381]

Thank you so much. I love your clear explanations for lefty’s

[@mathswithmrzuber1259]

Thanks so much for this high quality and helpful video. Did my head in to realise the knit/purl thing all gets changed around.

You're welcome, Tutu! 😀

[@Khushijoshi0124]

Thank you so much!!!! Im leftie and before watching this video it was difficult for me to use circular knitting needles

[@darcyhannibal2133]

Do you have a video for lefties on all the different cast on methods? I would love to see that. I only know the 2 my gramma taught me and it is so hard to follow right handed instructions. Thank you for your lefty videos!

[@IreneGriggs-oc7li]

Thankyou!! What a great tutorial. I’m left and trying to get instructions from a right hand knitter is confusing

[@emm6724]

Thank you!

[@nobleknits]

Hi Emm, You're weclome! Happy (leftie) knitting! 😀

[@tomyhadi5764]

ماشاء الله اخيرا احد يعمل تريكو باليسار

[@kennapatton943]

Can you purl with yarn in right hand. I’m a lefty as well😊

[@eleanorthompson7864]

Hi Nancy, I am looking for help with decreases and increases with continental left handed knitting. I knit socks and I'm having trouble with the gusset and toe decrease direction particularly. I am having difficulty converting the direction of decreases from English right handed to continental left hand! I would love it if you could do a video about this! Thank you again (you have replied to me before!) Eleanor

[@nobleknits]

Hi Eleanor, I'm so sorry I'm just seeing your comment now. You do not need to change the decrease direction when knitting socks. Since you are knitting mirror image, when you do a k2tog and SSK for the decreases they turn out going in the proper direction. I have socks and lefty socks on my video to-do list for 2021! 😀

[@MPepe16]

I have knitted a blanket on circular needles (left-handed). Wondering is the bind-off procedure the same as if I had 2 separate needles. I am afraid of it falling apart after 220 stiches on needles and 4 feet long...ugh. Do you have any advice? Tksl

[@bethpynnonen8263]

I'm left handed too, and I am just beginning on learning to knit. I would like to see how to wrap the yarn around my right hand for continental knitting a little clearer.

[@vickiandbobmerivale7186]

I was wondering if you had a video on how to do wrap and turn short rows as well as DS short rows - I am assuming that means Double Stitch? I have read instructions in a pattern but I just don't get it. Also, when doing that shaping with K1L and K1R does a lefties have to reverse that instruction - or does it not matter. Thanks. Hope I am asking in the right place.

[@nobleknits]

Hi Vicki, those are great questions. I will add them to my "knitting videos to-do list" 😀

[@MadisonGenevieve92]

I’m glad I found these videos! I’ve been trying to help my left handed friend learn to knit. Out of curiosity, how would you go about reading a pattern? Is it the same? Are charts still read from right to left? To knit a garment like a sweater, would you read the directions the same? Thanks!

[@nobleknits]

Hi Madison, It's amazing you are teaching your lefty friend to knit! For the most part, I read the patterns exactly the same way for left-handed as I do for right-handed knitting. For reading charts, a lefty will begin at the bottom left instead of on the bottom right as a right-handed person would do. One thing I have noticed is that when I knit cables, my cables are going in the opposite direction of a right-handed cable. I've always been just fine with that. However, if you want the cables to go as intended in the pattern, you simply reverse the instruction so instead of cabling with stitches in front, you'd cable with the stitches in back. Okay, I guess maybe this calls for a video to explain...I'm adding it to my video to-do list for 2020! 😀

[@MadisonGenevieve92]

NobleKnits Thats an amazing video idea. I appreciate your response! Now that I’ve showed my friend your video and helped out a bit (I have been knitting for quite a while, and figured out how to left hand knit myself) she LOVES it. She’s loving your videos. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@Marielm1]

Waiting with baited breath for your lefty socks, cuff down, I hope.

[@minooluna23]

I have only 40 stitches and the needle round is quite long. what should I do? only magic loop? no way else?

[@MaryThomson-kz4jh]

How do I join my stitch on a circular needle

[@MaryThomson-kz4jh]

Could you show me how to join the stitch to the circular needle

[@lolam.9291]

I would like to subscribe but I do not see any current videos.

[@a.clancy9843]

TURN UP THE VOLUME! THE ONLY SITE ON KNITTING THAT I HAVE LISTENED TO THAT HAS A VERY LOW VOLUME AND I TURNED MY VOLUME UP TO TO MAX. AND I AM NOT HARD OF HEARING! I' LL SUBSCRIBE IF THAT IS FIXED! THANKS. ANNE

[@nobleknits]

Hi Anne, Thank you so much for your feedback. I have new audio equipment since filming that video so you should notice a big difference. 😀
