I knit my mom style. Different than most. She was the total all crafts included. She could do any craft beautifully. We have her beautiful creations in the family

@jenniestanton9658 6 лет назад

I’m actually a completely ambidextrous knitter. I can and do knit with both hands and in a combination of styles. Continental, Norwegian picking and purling, and European/English flicking. I don’t throw however, I flick. The reason I do all ways is because I have nerve and tendon damage from a car accident and auto immune disorder and some days I’m not able to knit well with my left hand tensioning or my right hand other days, so in order to knit and at the advice of my physio I learned to do both. It’s really helped my hands! And my tension is exactly the same 😉

@ChrissyNilsen 6 лет назад

that's really awesome that you didn't give up! :)

@claudettemonty4077 5 лет назад

I can tell you that in Quebec, when they were teaching knitting at school, we learned to knit "in English" , yarn in right hand! And I still knit like this! With pleasure! Continue your good video!

I'm a big Grocery Girls fan and watch all their videos. That being said, Craftsy friends, I respectfully suggest that these ladies have more to offer the knitting community than we've seen in the last few segments. The segments have been cute but not real satisfying. Kind of like hearing Elvis sing the ABC's instead of Jailhouse Rock. 😉😄

@reflexology52welsh48 6 лет назад

It’s true, I’m from Wisconsin, so I’m not as nice as y’all but, when it comes to my knitting, if somebody tells me the like my knitting I DO give it to them.....even tried to give a lady in a store my scarf once, because she told me she liked it, I really think I frightened her, when I thanked her, and tried to give it to her, I’m not kidding, she looked afraid!

Massachusetts Native with Canadian heritage knits with Celine in the background (she helps me purl). Only true Maple Syrup is in my pantry and will never forget the Canadian connection in Twin Peaks! Have always loved you, Ladies.

I also knit English style by throwing my yarn. I have tried to knit another way but was too tight i have been knitting for to long to do another way. I have learnt how to do long tail cast on which has been very useful in my knitting skills. You guys always make me smile thank you for all that you share. love you guys see you soon eh! brambleknits

@melissastrait6931 6 лет назад

Y’all (that’s “you guys” in southern 😝)! I love all your videos, but I much prefer the longer format. There’s a little movement going around about learning deeper, not wider; and I feel these shorter segments are not really conducive to that. That being said, I’m still a loyal fan and will continue to eagerly watch every episode!

@laurawarriner4772 6 лет назад

Love you guys!!! I'm a self taught continental knitter, but I'd like to do both well.....someday.

@sherrymaccullouch2095 6 лет назад

Too funny! I'd love to learn continental - I took a class in Portugese knitting at the Twist Fibre Festival retreat last spring and loved it.

@raeleneblacketer3409 6 лет назад

As a crocheter I found the continental much more natural for me cause I held the yarn in the left hand like when I crochet

I say chesterfield!!! hmmmm I actually do a lot of these (well, except the Celine Dion thing)... and now I want cheese curds, lol! Yay Canada :D

@noneyadambidness_1 6 лет назад

I learned to crochet before teaching myself to knit. I'm right handed so for me it just came natural to want to hold my yarn in my left hand so im a continental knitter. I have done English and I love Portuguese when doing a whole bunch of purls. But not for to long though it can be hard on your neck..

@yvonnesanders5925 6 лет назад

You girls are too funny and adorable! Loved this! 😁❤️

@SpargurYarnCrafts 6 лет назад

I learned to Portuguese purl a few months ago while working on an EZ Pi Half circle shawl and had to purl the wrong side rows. Saved my life, my hands, and was so much faster, plus it’s a bit looser which is great for lace knitting.

@christyciotti2777 6 лет назад

I’m from Timmins, Ontario. Make that Shania Twain, and we’re good for hours! I did Andrea Wong’s Craftsy class and bought a knitting pin, but I need a lot more practice in Portuguese knitting. When I tried just tensioning the yarn around my neck, I kept making these weird chicken movements with my head.

@BonJourBonJour123 6 лет назад

Although I was raised in the US, I’m originally from Montreal and so is my mom who taught me to knit, British, of course. I was only seven when she taught me to knit so I was still definitely in Canada. The only difference is that we knit British really fast! That is where I thought you were going with this video. Canadians I’ve seen knit integrate the inserting of the needle and the wrapping at the same time. By the time my right needle is through the loop my yarn is wrapping it. Poof! One really fast stitch! I put the same way. As you mentioned the tension on my knit and purl stitch’s are the same so the work is balanced and consistent.

@BonJourBonJour123 6 лет назад

I’m also very polite to my knits by making the inside as pretty as the outside. I was taught to really hide the ends so they won’t be a bother to the person wearing your knits. Thank you for the adorable video. Although I live in Florida, this Canadian still does knit heavy wools 12 months a year. I can never make too many gifts, eh?

Lol 🤣😁hi love you mid day laugh . Thank you

@gemni5683 6 лет назад

I learned to crochet first so it was way to hard to learn to hold my yarn in my right hand so I continental the most. But I also Portuguese knit when my hands hurt. So it's nice to have different styles.

@jennyrajaballey7601 5 лет назад

I'll say it again - love these short episodes, eh? I'll have to get a maple scented candle :)

@jennifermaddock4382 6 лет назад

I've tried all three methods of knitting and love them all. Tracey, if you try Continental on a textured yarn then tiny gauge differences won't matter and you can get the rhythm of it. It is a lot faster. I also learned Portuguese and I use it to work the purl rows on a lace shawl - again much faster and easier. Keep knitting Canadian style in your toque while drinking your TImmies double double eh?

@heatherh3457 6 лет назад

As a proud Canadian, may I add that we also love to have a cup of Tim Horton's coffee aka Timmy's as we sit on our chesterfields and knit with lots of colours. Good times eh?

@christinatibblin6705 6 лет назад

Thanks for the Canadian content. As an Canadian expat in Texas, I really appreciate North of the border humour. As a French Canadian, I can assure you that we knit the same except for the swearing mentioned by Frederique below... and trying to keep the poutine stains off our knits. ;)

@NanZingrone 6 лет назад

I watch a lot of Canadian podcasts and I'm from north of Chicago so Second City TV (mostly all Canadians) and hockey and Maple syrup (plus my parents annual fishing/hunting trips to Sashkatchewan and then the cousins in Toronto) made us feel sort of Canadan. So for me Canadian knitting (and Canadan TV thanks to Acorn TV) is all about being nice, being helpful and friendly. I knit English too. I was thinking about that the other day and I think it's because my Irish grandmother taught my mother and my Aunt Mary Krug who was an amazing knitter who designs, knit and taught knitting for a living was -- I think-- taught by her Irish mother. I don't think ever saw my German grandmother knit or her sisters knit but now I'm thinking that was a bit of a loss because it would have been an opportunity to learn continental I'll bet. Love these liittle more frequent videos from Off Our Needs. Lots of fun!

@rjsams001 6 лет назад

I HATE the fact that these episodes are so short. They're not even worth watching anymore. It takes me awhile to get set up to watch some episodes and these are too short to be worth the effort. Who in the world thought this was a good idea???

@kayjay9516 6 лет назад

rjsams001 Totally agree, I don’t like them, they’re little more than Craftsy adverts too. Hopefully some longer “proper” episodes are coming soon

@maplelassuk 6 лет назад

Haha, this Canadian learned from her mum, probably English style, but I throw my wool with my index finger and most here in Scotland use their right hand and hold their needles differently to me. Don't mock us Canucks too much gals....lol, I don't say eh at all!!

@GemmaWeirs 6 лет назад

I'm not Canadian, but please try Portuguese knitting. Give it a real shot because it's a fantastic way of knitting. I use a knitting pin, and you can find some gorgeous ones that come with a clip or a magnet (so that you don't have to poke holes in your tops). It's my primary way of knitting. I tried Continental, but my fingers wouldn't obey me. I sometimes knit English style, but it feels awkward for me. Portuguese is a relaxed and fast way to knit, and it's really easy to learn. Also, you use your thumb to knit and purl, not just for purling. ;)

@alahatzaifat1872 2 года назад

Hello ladies.... what a lovely and funny video.. you had me giggling. I am a Canadian male who learned English knitting/throwing many moons ago....then moved onto continental knitting ONLY...could not manage the purl... UNTIL I learned about Norwegian Purling, so I am adept now at continental... then moved onto portuguese, which is now my favourite, and tend to use only purl when doing stockinette in the round etc... I am working on now learning flicking...that is english without letting go of the right hand needle..taking some funny faces and sticking out my tongue etc... but I am getting there... hahahahaha... Just a quick note... it seems the link to the free pattern is broken. I've tried several times and it says 'server cannot be found'... I would dearly love to try that pattern as I have not done much lacework, especially in Portuguese and I would love to combine Portuguese and flicking in this pattern. Thanks again for the laughs...

@dbknits4601 6 лет назад

It's a type of cheese, and no, it's not battered or fried. I think you're thinking of poutine which is fries with gravy and melted cheese curds.

Wendy Dempsey, I generally say sofa though every once in a while chesterfield does pop out and I am definitely Canadian, born in Winnipeg ( the ‘Peg) and living in Ottawa the last 45+ years with a stop in Saskatoon in between. No, I don’t say eh unless I am putting it on, yet my Scottish born and raised Nana who emigrated to Canada at about 20 yrs of age said it all the time.

Throwing and Picking has nothing to do with which hand your yarn is...A person can knit continental, and either throw, or pick. Throwing and picking have to do with whether or not you let go of a needle when you're making a stitch.

@ladyamberskye 6 лет назад

it is actually both. If you hold your yarn in your right hand like English style and don't let go its Flicking, left hand in picking.

@susanweston9971 5 лет назад

I am Canadian who knits, and I don’t like Celine Dion, never listen to her music, don’t care for maple either. However, I do knit on my chesterfield, and could wear hand knits 12 months of the year, as I am cold all the time. I hate metric, although the metric temperature and kilometres instead of miles makes better sense to me, I still use imperial when cooking, baking, sewing, etc... . Please change your video by removing all reference to Celine and maple, I knit when I watch movies or tv, and prefer cinnamon candles over maple. Susan
