How to knit ml1 Videos

Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. I'm a beginning knitter and I have some friends that are wiling to teach me, but I live about 300miles away in the boonies so I can't really pop over to their house to ask them a question. Your videos are very easy to follow! Thanks again!

Wow, this is my second time trying to learn (self-teach) how to knit. I even asked what a M1 was the other day on Ravelry! I have never been able to understand it.. just plain Make WHAT??!?! But, now I think I may go back and work on some patterns I had passed up in the past.

@Imnotdumbimjustcrazy - If the pattern does not specify then it does not matter. Use your personal preference. Just make sure you use an opposite increase on the other side of the row. If you do a m1l at the beginning of the row, then do a m1r at the end of the row.

Oh thank you so much for you reply! As a starter, your videos have been a great help for me, I'm your fan! Just to make sure it goes like this: "PM, k1, PM", so it means that on the first PM, I'll m1l, then I'll k1, then on the other PM I'll m1r?

How do you know when you need to make a stitch that will lean to the left and when you need to make a stitch that will lean to the right? The mittens I'm trying to knit just say increse.

This is so cool to watch. Ive started knitting lace and at times its confusing me still. Though with your explanations its all easy! Many thanks and greetings from Germany.

You have saved me countless hours of trying to decipher knitting techniques from books. Your videos are invaluable, I can't thank you enough!

It does not seem that there is any difference to me - they are just explaining it so that you know whether to do a m1r or a m1l.

thankyou so much you really helped me here and you make it easy to understand.

Thank you, thank you. This didn't make any sense until I saw your video.

this really helps...thanks...i'm just starting to learn

Hi! I like your videos! Very great! Thank's Ivy

Hooray! I love your videos! Thank you so much!

Thank you very much! You are a great help!

I'm confused ... isn't this an increase?

OMGOSH..HOW DID YU LEARN ALL THIS :0

Yes, this will increase one stitch.

You have a very soothing voice. :)

Cool Thank you! :-)

Let me know.. if you have any specific brim in mind. BTY, Love the picture - You guys have great smiles - makes me smileBig Hugs !denise

+Esther Bland WOW Esther that is a GREAT idea. The design by Bonny it is not done this stitch - it's actually the figure 8. I don't have a video of the complete pattern but I do have one of the figure 8 stitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQUqQsGRrsE

+Briana Peterson Thanks for the Thanks Briana - Glad you liked it

+Elsje Durrheim I haven't tried the stitch as a flat panel. I will put it in my list of projects to video. Stay tuned.

+Azeem Ahmad Azeem - this video was just for the stitch and not a complete project. Here is a link to a scarf - just change the stitch to this one.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdxFdqy6u1s

Hi Denise, yes I ended up asking the same question to Brenda (the designer of the snood) and she was able to let me know they were similar but not the same. This was also before I knew exactly what a snood is...I don't want something to tuck my hair in - which her pattern could be made to not have to be worn that way. The snood is actually historical head wear - def learned something new there! I'm just looking for a hat suitable for warmer weather. As a big time hat lover (already ordered 5 hats from shops on Etsy (4 of those from CappelliHats which I absolutely adore and 4 of the 5 are her lace berets - my favorite hat for sure). I'm wondering what kind of hat, if any, I could wear in warm weather. Your stitch shown here would be a possibility if made in some sort of hat pattern. Thank you for answering my question Denise! You are def the hat expert! :)

+Brooke Bingham Hi Brooke - no they are not the same. The do have some similarities and you might be able to get some idea of what is being requested by watching this video but this stitch video will not give you that specific pattern. .. Sorry

+Libby Bishop Karen Aicken - Her blog is Knitting with looms

+K Sulkins Glad you like it and the bonnet is a great idea... Join our Facebook Family and post the picture when you're done - would love to see it.. https://www.facebook.com/LoomaHat

i'm all set, no need to respond. 

Hi Girls, We use the "In , Over, Through and Off" here in the UK or at least most of us up here in Scotland do and find that the wee rhyme keeps them knowing what they are doing next. But well done Rachel, as you get more accustomed to knitting you will be knitting an blanket / afghan in no time at all.

I'm glad you asked, Dana! Yes. When people are first learning to knit, I like to give them the satisfaction of creating stitches and fabric right off the bat. When they see that they can actually make something, they get excited to learn more. Then they are more patient with learning to cast-on.

Hi Staci ! I love your channel and never miss a video, I wanted to know your interest - if any, in handspun chunky yarns and any suggestions on projects to make with them - a video showcasing sone various handspun chunky yarns would be awesome !! Thanks Staci !

LOL very nice! I love all of Staci's video's Rachel, and you have the best teacher right there showing you! I'm from the south, so have a fairly strong southern accent, maybe I will try to learn a new way to pronounce my words on your channel!

Thank you for your videos. I taught myself to knit several years ago, stopped, and am now starting again. I know I can always find something to refresh my memory or to learn something new that I have never tried.

Thank you for your response. That makes total sense. I teach new knitters and children a lot. I find it easier to teach children than adults sometimes. LOL! I may have to try this. Thanks again.

This was great. Always love Staci's videos but this was good because I know someone in Ukraine that is learning to speak English. She will love Rachel's videos! x

very charming..I have a couple of grandchildren upon whom I could use this method -- did I say that correctly? lol Thanks Staci!

I love that your are expanding my you tube channel subscriptions! Rachel's channel is great! (I'm not a native english speaker).

OMG! I watch videos from both of you! It was so much fun to watch you two together.

Do you find it easier to teach a newbie using this method (starting with a swatch)?

todo lo que enseñas es maravilloso, seria buenisimo que sea en castellano, gracias

Hi Dawn, I agree, couldn't have a better teacher for my first experience!! :)

Now I'm going to be saying "boop" every time I pull a stitch through! :-D

Totes, Rachel! Watching this makes me excited for our next collaboration.

What a nice colorful set, would be a great addition to my needle stash!

I have been watching your videos, this one is inspiring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this video. Staci please make a playlist on this topic

and now whenever I do my stitches I will say "boop"!!!;)

Love it! Great job ladies! I want to learn how to knit!

Skootch and boop......you are a true delight Staci :)

Love the Booping moment, thanks! :D

I love those videos, awesome!
