I'm so happy to see up are still doing videos. You helped me learn to knit a few years ago but I haven't knit in quite a few years, but want to start again. So I will be watching all your videos again when I get back into it. Your videos are the best. Thanks so much. ❤

I have never been happy with EZ’s twisted loop increase. Every time I use it I wish I hadn’t. I usually use the running thread, but seeing your results I may try using yarn overs and see if they work with my style of knitting. My favorite increase is the lifted increase where you knit into the stitch below. but of course, it isn’t always practical, depending on what’s going on with the knitting.

Also my preferred increase.

lol… Note to self: I’m watching this as I’m knitting along (no incs/decs). Welllll, wouldn’t you know, I made an inc as I was listening… This is NOT the first time this has happened, either. Gotta laugh at myself. So intent on the inc mechanics, my fingers followed along. Hah! Saved this for future reference. I use the YO or YOB (yarn over backwards in my pattern notes) as much as possible, especially Garter. I get holes using a Lifted M1, and ended up using the “Invisible” incs = mother, grandmother. Agree - some look better than others, depends on yarn, pattern etc. Thank you! A treasure trove for my toolbox! (sorry for the alliteration, but it works!)

Amazing demonstration. I have never heard of the EZ twisted loop M1 but I normally do the one with the green yarn. You make it look so easy. I will give each one a go and see what happens. Thank you for your time, enjoy the rest of your day and take care.

It just hit me: the reason I get ruffling around my raglan increases is because of the M1 style I was using! I started a new sweater today using an in-row M1 and my raglans are flat and beautiful as can be. Thank you!!!

Roxanne, you are such a gifted teacher! I love that you show us what's actually happening in each style of increase, instead of just showing the steps for us to try to memorize. Next time I do increases, I will reason my way through them. Thank you!!

I really like how you explain the different techniques. You are so very thorough in your demos and the reasons why things are occurring in the knitting process. It makes more sense and makes it easier to remember these techniques. I always pick up something new or a tip when I watch your videos. It is making me a better knitter. Thanks!

Thanks for the validation, Roxanne! I discovered the left and right yarn-over make one increases accidentally. I remembered Elizabeth Zimmerman describing her 2 row increases in Knitting Workshop so I tried it and found that I preferred the outcome because it didn’t have the small but perceptible holes at the base of the increases. It wasn’t until I was looking something up in Knitting Workshop sometime later that I came across that page and realized I had mis-remembered her method and had actually been doing yarn-overs instead of half hitches. Happy Accidents!

Wow Roxanne you are so thorough when it comes to looking at techniques and methods. Thank you so much, I didn’t know the ins and outs of a M1 and this made it so much clearer

Hi Roxanne. Now that I’ve had a chance to watch this video, after just watching your latest technique Tuesday video about these increases, I must say that this has been so informative as well as helpful. I agree with you that the yarn over increase in your particular swatches looks the cleanest and neatest. I would choose that one too. That being said I can really appreciate the idea of swatching for each particular project with the different options. What really helped me the most was how you explained about the leading and the trailing leg. Fascinating! If I can commit this to memory then I know or at least I hope I won’t have to keep refreshing my memory on how to work each one. So helpful! Thanks so much for another amazing video. Tomorrow I’m going to watch the one on fixing mistakes in these increases. I’m sure it’s going to be great. Thanks again!❤

I love a sneaky yo increase and I use it when the increase doesn't have to be left or right leaning. I didn't know I could make them left or right leaning so easily!

Thank you so much for this! I used to have to read the instructions for the lifted bar M1L and R *every* time. I'm just starting a project with a ton of them (Thistleback Shawl by Carol Sunday) and was dreading those increases. I love the YO increases you demonstrated, but please help me with my thinking with this shawl project (though I could probably swatch and see for myself, I've already started). I'm thinking that with the stranded colorwork in the shawl, I should stay with the first method as specified in the pattern so the twisted increase stitches remain on the previous row and in the color below the live stitches to keep the pattern as charted.

I love how you explain and demonstrate. Too bad you didn't also have the lifted increases. It would have been nice to see how they compare to the other increases.

@RoxanneRichardson 8 ай бұрын

A comparison of increases would be a good topic. Every increase has the potential to be the perfect solution in a given circumstance, and each one can be the worst solution in another.

I am confused how to determine the leading legs at rhe 3rd version 😢

@davidhensley76 8 ай бұрын

I remember 'back' & 'left' both have 4 letters, and 'front' & 'right' both have 5 letters, to keep in mind how to lift the bar & which leg to knit into.

@likeavirshin 8 ай бұрын

The last one isn't like doing a backwards loop cast on stitch? My grandma taught me to cast on with this method which I never use nowadays... And whenever I do a YO increase it makes a hole.... Do you know why it doesn't look exactly the same on each side? The mirror increases never look actually mirrored. One always stand out more 🤔

@RoxanneRichardson 8 ай бұрын

A YO will make a hole if you knit through the leading leg. The goal with M1 increases is to *twist* the YO so that the hole closes. The last one is a backwards loop for one of the m1 incs, but twists in the opposite direction for the other.

@xbaczewska4197 8 ай бұрын

Just wondering re: lifted increases, why you did not use what I think of as your "signature" left and right descriptions. Always go in from the front. Use the left needle to pick up the running thread for the M1L and the right needle for the M1R. Gotta say, those little moves changed my knitting life! Thanks for the episode.

@RoxanneRichardson 8 ай бұрын

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Using the right needle means transferring the stitch without changing the stitch mount. Always using the left needle means that you don't have risk changing the stitch mount, you, just note the lean of the switch and change it if it's not right. Whichever way works for you is the right way! :-)

@xbaczewska4197 8 ай бұрын

@@RoxanneRichardson Thanks! I guess when i saw you do that method, a personal light bulb went off. It seemed intuitive to just lift and move those stitches. And it remains obvious how i need to knit the lifted stitches in order to have the needles pointing correctly. Pretty darn brilliant! As you are. Always.
