Once you sign up the videos are available for you to watch at your own pace or skip days. You can also go back and rewatch them at any time.

Can you do a series on basic mittens for beginners? So many methods out there, I am getting overwhelmed and confused. And a similar series but for chunky hats. Thanks!

Would like to learn some patterns like mittens, toys, scarves
I want to teach a friend to knit thought this might give me an idea on how I should do this.
Thanks for the easy way of explaining the elementary of knitting.
I hope I’ll be able to watch the series and re-learn some of the basics, after taking a holiday from knitting to work on big needlepoint projects.
do you have this for left handers?
Hello Lynn,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
We show the basic stitches with the yarn held in both the left hand and right hand. If you are looking for truly left-handed knitting (where everything is knit in the mirror image), I recommend checking out this Craftsy class: https://www.craftsy.com/class/left-handed-knitting/
Please let us know if you have any further questions

Also, want to learn to knit something other than a scarf.
Thank you. I learned to knit years ago but preferred to crochet because I was faster at it. But now I am back to needing to knit for re-enactment items.
Looking forward to being inspired
This is perfect! Need to strengthen my basic skills. Returning to knitting and crocheting during this pandemic!
I’m a shepherd and love the wool the flock produces and want to strengthen my basics to be able to knit more complicated patterns and eventually design my own.
I’m looking forward to increasing my knitting skills.
Can’t wait to start. This will be a refresher course for me…and part of it will be new.
I do hope I can access this when I have time available. My main goal at this time is to knit winter stocking.
Looking forward to the lessons!
Hello. New to the circle

Thank you for this series. I would also like some advice on how to knit socks with sock yarn. I have struggled with it. I also have noticed that many videos show the continental way of knitting and I knit the English way.
Such a Great opportunity…..looking forward to the sessions😊

Thanks for the easy way of explaining the elementary of knitting.
Looking forward to this.
I am a long time knitter, but thought this might just be a good review.
Taught myself to knit during Covid.. would love to be able to knit socks without heels
Want to learn to knit evenly
I used to knit and crochet a long time ago and want to do it again.
I hope to learn how to knit properly. I am left handed but knit right handed.
I just started knitting again. I am making a sweater for my friend’s granddaughter who is 8 months. The size will be one year to 18 months. I decided on the 7 hour sweater. Having trouble on row 6. Every other stitch, you knit one and increase one, finishing the row with 51 stitches. Started the sweater with 37 stitches. I am tired of ripping out the first six rows and starting over to get the right count on the stitches.
Hi Susan,
Here is what our expert had to say:
Because the pattern is free on a blog, I was able to find the pattern and read it.
You have 37 stitches on row 5, as you said.
Row 6 says to “increase 1 in next st, K1.” In order for the math to work to 51 stitches, that means you need to do something like “kfb, k1” for that part. Kfb is knit front & back into the same stitch. Basically, just make sure you are increasing 14 stitches on row 6 using whatever increase method you like best!
Let us know if other questions come up!

nice idea
I’d like to learn to knit complicated stitches
not very good knitter, self taught more or less, was taught to “knit a Christmas stocking” but not really taught “how to knit”, been trying to self teach ever since…slowly, via written instructions mainly as I can only be on the computer a limited amount of time because of eye trouble/it causes me migraines. my next step is to try to make socks that fit people!

Apparently I learned how to cast on weird. I learned some sort of hybrid between longtail and knitted. I learned the technique of the longtail, but the tail is at the bottom of my cast-on row. Is there a name for that?
