    @rionacarrington1156last year I started knitting when I was younger but I stopped. Your videos really helped get the basics again.
    I pray that God heals you. Thanks again!

    @_Hhorror_10 years ago I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU. because of your videos I can now knit! I've wanted too for years!
    And now I am starting my very own blanket. Thank you soooo much for your wonderful easy to follow videos, I've watched many "knitting for beginners" but yours was the only one that I actually learned from!
    THANK YOU!

    @TheMegaPegasister11 years ago YOU ARE THE BEST! I'm 16 and decided I wanted to learn to knit, and actually followed along to your videos using colored pencils as needles! Today I went out and bought some real knitting needles, and just knit my first hat! Thank you so much!!!! :) ...

    @morticiamorris421910 years ago Can I just say that out of all the video's I've tried to watch on how to knit. Yours has made the most sense and is the most simplest to follow. Thanks!
  • @
    @champy5119 years ago I made my grandmother some potholders with these techniques you taught me, and I am sure she will love them!! thank you soooo much!
  • @
    @melaniealfred9 years ago Your videos singlehandedly taught me how to knit. They are so easy to follow and your speed is just right for me. I tried other tutorials before chancing upon yours and found them too fast, and the movement of the yarn was difficult to follow. You've done such a great job focussing on teaching beginners. I do hope you would consider teaching basic patterns or other stitches. I still come back to watch your bind off and purl stitch videos when I'm stuck! Thank you! ...
  • @
    @nikkimathews100310 years ago I am a crocheter, but decided to give knitting a try. Your videos are the reason I can now say that I know how to do both! Thank you!

    @thatgirlmadge2 years ago You help my so much with slow easy to see step by step instructions! I just finished my first knitting piece solo! Thank you for everything. My mother was my teacher, she passed away 2 years ago, I miss her terribly, but your videos on beginner knitting have helped me too now. Thank you! ...
  • @
    @jeanellemajcen53139 years ago I bookmarked all three videos too! I want to do my first row a regular knit stitch then turn and do a pearl stitch so I get a straight scarf! You went slow enough I could follow and the color or yarn was perfect to show me how to do it all! You are a savior for teaching me how to do something I have wanted to learn for years!  ... 3

    @nashfamilyclips9 years ago I can't figure out why you'd give this or any of Kristen's videos a thumbs down. She's great for beginners (me!) and I've already forwarded videos of hers to a friend who's also a beginner. Thank you, Kristen!! ...

    @hew24suncook9 years ago Just wanted to say how much I love your knitting videos! I knit my first scarf last month and learned everything I needed from your videos! I picked up a skein of yarn last night and knit 1/2 of my 2nd scarf already in 1 day. Just need to buy more yarn :) ... 5

    @christinekwak273310 years ago i love all your videos, great lighting, up close, slow enough to follow, and use of large yarn that is solid colored helps with the pattern differentiation. love em all!!! I'm bookmarking all your vids! 4
  • @
    @katstarq10 years ago I have to agree with all the others.  I decided to learn to knit a week ago and started three days ago and just completed my first scarf with a basic knit stitch.  My grand daughter will love it.  I am NOT a crafty/hobby type person at all but with your fantastic video it made it so good.  Next.. I'll try to pearl. Looking forward to more!  Thank you!! ...

  • @
    @GoodKnitKisses11 years ago @"Barbara Kenney" are they evening out though after a few rows? This can also get evened out by blocking (a light washing or spray and use Tpins to a towel on a bed or some kids letter block mats). So glad to help, hopefully that helps too :) Thanks for watching! ...

  • @
    @31Jenni9 years ago Thank you great video and explanation for those that are picking up knitting again. I had not heard the term 'binding off' as I'm used to the British terminology - 'casting off'.  Great! 2
  • @
    @GoodKnitKisses11 years ago @"Airon Jake Pimentel" Thanks! Yes, you can knit two ends together. It is called grafting. You can graft two pieces using the kitchener stitch. There are several videos by others on this method. I do not have one yet since I'm still working on being more proficient at my knitting skills before teaching. I can do this method but don't want to show it till more comfortable. I hope this helps you! :-) Happy Knitting - Kristen ...

    @hattiem.79669 years ago I'm very close to binding off my scarf at the end.The teacher tried to show me but I said I need to finish it then see if I can do this looking at your video.My classes are each Tues.and she had to fix a hole I made a few days ago so I couldn't knit anymore.Thats one thing I need to learn to do,fix holes with my knitting needles ( not using a crochet hook ) which I do have.Once I have knitted some I will start learning to Crochet again. ...

    @GoodKnitKisses11 years ago Thank you! The tension will get more even the more knitting you attempt. try sitting for a longer session each time to get a rhythm and pace to the same stitch over and over again. You will get better at the tension I promise :-) Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe for more videos on knitting with needles and more! -Kristen ...
