    Thanks for these awesome tutorials. I have learned so many awesome new stitches from your videos. As a new knitter, they are invaluable. Could you someday show how you tension your yarn for english knitting? I cant figure out how you do it and it would make knitting that way much faster.
    Thanks and keep up the great work!

    On your video Row 4 starts with P2, but on the printed instructions, Row 4  starts with P3. What is the correct Row 4? I like the stitch and would like to make it.
    Thanks.

    I really like your new page! It’s not so distracting. Just an idea for future days, show different types of knitting. Like the continental, american, peruvian, old germain, etc. I am on knitting paradise and the folks on there keep talking about different way of knitting. Love your site!

       @SueFerns glad you like it. I would love to do other styles of knitting, but it take about 4 hours just to produce one video in one style. And I’m a horrible continental knitter.
