I love your knitting tutorials, you make it easier than a lot of the other ones that I have watched. Thank you so much for making these videos for people like me who are really visual Learners and need to see it step-by-step very slowly. You are a very good knitting teacher.👍
Thanks for this tutorial .. I find circular needles more convenient to use now. I am a beginner. can't wait to use my circular knitting needles
9 years later and a great big thank you! Just starting a baby blanket for my niece’s baby!
I might have said a dirty word at my computer when he said how many times he was going to cast on. I'm relatively new to the knitting scene and the biggest one thing I've made is a scarf lol. I may not make many, but I can say I've started the journey of how to make a blanket thanks to you!
I've ordered a set of circular needles, and making a blanket would be great! Thank you for enlightening me the difference between knitting in the round, and not doing so, especially in making a blanket!!
Just learning how knit, have watched several "how to" videos, but RJ Knits is the BEST channel for my style of learning. He is very good teacher, clear, concise, and funny too. Thanks RJ, after watching your beginner's videos I am knitting up a storm. (Oh and I am 58 years old and have always wanted to learn, it's never to late ;) )
I am making a baby blanket using circular needles. My first time and I messed up. Your youtube explained my mistake and I was able to redo my work. Thank you x 100! You saved the day. Much appreciated. You're a gem.
Wow, wish I had seen your video earlier! i just knitted the whole huge blanket on the round! a big tube! now I have to start all over! The cost of learning!!!
Thanks for giving such a detailed explanation about something that, although really simple, new knitters might be puzzled over. Thank goodness that I don’t have to worry about keeping the 114 stitches I’ve just cast on to stay straight without any twists. I’m a resurrected knitter; just getting into it again. 2019 has proven to be not the best so far. I picked up knitting again as it takes my mind off any crappy things that I cannot control. I have found myself relaxing much more. I really liked listening to you speak as you have a calm and smooth quality to your voice. Hopefully you have more videos. So good Thanks again. Cheers Susan 🐾
You are a lifesaver. This explains why my blanket is looking like an eternity scarf. I had no idea how I was going to google my issue. Thank you!!!!!
I love your explanation. Pointing out which yarn sting to start with is so important. Without this tip, one would easily end up knitting in the round accidentally. YIKES! Thanks for posting.
Thank you, RJ! Was totally lost before I found your video, as I was not intending to knit in the round with the circular needles. You pointed me in the right direction and I'm back on the right track now. I began watching your videos nearly two years ago and you have the best knitting tutorials on YouTube.
Can't believe how many times I have taken out all I have done because everyone told me to hold needle and yarn in RIGHT hand and I was making a connected blanket on cicular needles. Many thanks for straightening me out. Pat
I've been knitting this way for a while now, and I tell you I can't see going back to using straight needles. It all stays together, it sits in your lap and ready to pick up again, it's like having a kit XD
I’m brand new to knitting and your video is a Godsend! Thank YOU so much for taking the time to teach newbie like myself. I only have circular needles (so far) and didn’t want to purchase more needles until I master my basic first. Thanks again! New subscriber :).
You are the absolute best! Signed up before for 3 lessons from a shop, after a 2 hour lesson she told 3out of 5 of us to go home and watch you tube! Snooty! And I found you! Made my first scarf, several headbands for an orphanage and now onto a blanket throw! Never went back for the other 2 lessons! Found a wonderful, fun and positive knitting shop Bliss and it is my happy place! Kudo's to RJ! You rock!
This was so helpful! I started a baby blanket and 5 hours into it, I realized it was connected and would be a cocoon, not a blanket. Most helpful video I found to describe what I did wrong.
you are an amazing teacher! I have watched many instructional videos but yours is the best! You talk so clearly, your view of you showing is amazing and you are very basic and don't assume that the viewer knows certain steps. Thank you so much for getting me knitting again after several years..
Thank you so much for this video. I got one row knit, and couldnt figure out how to go on without it joining. Makes sense now. Great instructions!
