As a beginner to intermediate knitter I found your tutorials fantastic!

@fitnisfrk - True. Tension is one of the most difficult things to learn. Don't worry though - as you improve, you won't even think about your tension anymore. It will stay nice and even. Most beginners tend to work too tightly because they are afraid that the stitches will fall off the needles!

I am so excited this is the first video I watch and get the technique down instantly. The only question I have about this method is that your tension (to tighten each stich) has to be very consistent otherwise you end up with some stitches nice and others a little saggy, right? Keeping them loose but still even is my problem. As a seasoned knitter, however, I'm sure consistent tension is not a problem like for a beginner. . . .

Thank you! Thirty years ago, I watched my mother use this method, and forgot it! I have used a loop cast on, or knitted cast for years. Thank you for providing this.

I've just finished knitting my first garment (a hat). Without this tutorial, I couldn't have started! Thanks ever so much knitwitch!

When you make your stitches just pull each of the strands gently to tighten them up. You don't want them to be too tight because you need to knit into them on the next row so be careful not to make them too tight. Make sure your stitches lie close together on the needle before making the next stitch.

I am a true beginner. I have done this stitch successfully, following this very clear and patient video. It's the first knitting I've ever done. But unfortunately there's about an inch of yarn between the two stitches on my needle. I can't find a video that does'n't rush through the tightening up. I suppose it must be obvious to most people, but it isn't to me. Can anyone tell me the correct way to do it? Thanks.
