    When I watch U.S. films (do they knit like that in the U.K., too?) showing someone knitting, I always wonder why they would do it like that. It just takes so much more time having to move the yarn around instead of pulling it through with the free needle …

    Close ups would be good except she talks with her hands too much. Causes camera to auto focus a lot and you lose concentration on the stitch.

    the girl makes sense, the video is just taken badly. and the out of focus and bad angles don’t help.

    There is yarn on …
    There is yarn on both needles because she has already done some stitches. Yes, this is following directly after casting. She probably just went ahead a few lines because the first line is harder than the others. The number of times you have to do it depends on what you’re making. You need to go get some patterns and it will tell you how many stitches. If that piece isn’t connected to ball of yarn then you can cut it off. You don’t need it.

    Although what you are doing isnt hard once you get the hang of it, your video is confusing to say the least. Its so typical for expertvillage to have people who dont know how to teach anything.

    you may also find the book “Knitting for Dummies” useful. it contains step-by-step how-to instructions for knitting techniques. using easier-to-follow photos and illustrations, the guide demonstrates basic knitting stitches and shows readers how to decipher patterns and work with multiple colors. It also explains how to fix common knitting mistakes and relax stiff shoulders and fingers.
