What a joy to watch you knit. I love the different cast on methods and the live edge… well what a cool skill to learn. Your video has convinced me that I really need to try a knitting belt. What a wonderful video. A treasure of information!

Can't overstate how fortunate we are that J&S made this video, with the inimitable Hazel Tindall, no less. Invaluable, thank you!

Thank you, Hazel! I've been restarting my long tail cast on every time when I run short of yarn. I never once thought to use yarn from the other end of the skein.

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

Never too old for a new tip!

@eastlynburkholder3559 2 года назад

Sometimes a yarn I like has thin and thick spots. If I have two yarn sources I can every other row or 2 rows and 2 rows.

@lilyloveslace 11 месяцев назад

Same here! I've been avoiding long tail cast ons because of this. And to think, I almost skipped the start of this video--the only reason I didn't was because I was halfway through a round!

@basilrose 2 года назад

Thank you wonderful Hazel Tindall for this terrific supplement to your outstanding DVD with Elizabeth Johnston! So helpful and delightful! I especially appreciate the closer look at how you set up your belt with the support string, and tips for preventing gaps when using the two long needles holding the circular knitting ✨❤️

Thank you.

@donnac368 2 года назад

I am grateful to have learned another way to knit with a provisional cast on. I used to do a crochet provisional cast on, and was glad to see that Hazel has problems getting that chain out too!

@biaberg3448 9 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot, very interesting, I specially loved the belt demo. I actually have a belt and long needles, but haven’t tried them yet. Spret - in Norwegian sprette means unravel a seam, probably the same word 😊

@sarahgee8365 2 года назад

Thanks again, Hazel. There is always something to learn, however long I've been knitting. Your demonstrations of provisional cast-on methods are really useful. And I am full of admiration for the economy of your knitting action. Respect!

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

Thank you!

@jonwood9489 2 года назад

The long tail cast on used to be known as the thumb method. I use it in all my knitting and consider it to be a good all rounder cast on.

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

When I was very young it’s the only way I cast on so there was no need to have a name for it 😀

@37vegalyra63 Год назад

Thank you for showing me how to use the knitting belt, Hazel! I appreciate you demonstrating the details of explaining everything in dept,h from the angle of your right arm, relieving the weight of the knitting on the left needle to avoiding the gap between needles. I feel so much more confident in using my belt. BTW, my tension has dramatically improved even with just making swatches using my belt. 😄🌈🌼

@paigemckelvey8781 Год назад

Thank you, this answers the question about the knitting belt I saw on the 2022 videos from Wool Week. I had never seen one before. SWW has such a lot of information about Shetland knitting and it's origins and traditions. Thank you from way across the pond in Western Canada.

@christineburrows4892 2 года назад

Thank you for this great video. I have used cotton thread and waste yarn to cast on on knitting machines but never thought of using it for hand knitting. I been knitting for over 60 years and I have learnt something very useful today.

@rehrerrobin6025 2 года назад

Thank you Hazel. Your calm and step by step directions really help this newbie understand these processes.

@Yallquietendown 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Ms Hazel. The part where you explain how to fix mistakes is so valuable. That part would be great as its own video !

@sharonmciver8857 Год назад

I knew of knitting belts but never knew of adding the string to take the weight off your left hand. (Been knitting for around 50 yes. I’m 58) I knit with the left needle under my arm so like with the belt don’t hold it but manoeuvre it a bit when knitting. But I have arthritis so may be an idea to get a knitting belt and use the string idea. Great tip ❤

@nadiak9099 2 года назад

@LincolnshireRose 6 месяцев назад

A very informative video, i have done a lot of the provisional cast on with making shawls and there are a few other methods but any decent knitter will know that. I have never tried a belt myself but most of my work is on very long circular needles. I may try a belt when i next get onto very long double ended needles as i can see the benefits.

My Mother did it this way too but we were told that wasn't very modern so we changed to the cable cast on but it was lovely to see it again. I really enjoyed your visit and the provisional cast on demonstrating as well. Thank you so much for producing this video. Take care.

I never thought of finishing a Long Tail cast on with the other end of the ball if I run out of tail. Great idea! Or I suppose you could just use both ends from the start and never run out. Maybe I'll have to try that.

@RythmnStitches 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I loved the way you did the long tail cast on. I have only seen it used with two hands rather than one so will try that next time I cast on a project more suitable. Your provisional cast on was very helpful too. Oh and I 💕 your accent😀

@penny6798 Год назад

Thanks for a great video….. I learnt to knit when very young between my mother, aunt, grandmothers when I was about 7…. Now in my 40s and I still love learning new techniques and watching other knitters. It’s funny that a lot of my self taught knitting I now teach my mother, such as the long tail cast on, picking up knitted in edges with a crochet hook, correcting sections in lace knitting rather than pulling back (now that was a revelation for me 😊) I’m now starting to teach myself how to knit under-arm/with a belt.

@terrywynn9767 2 года назад

Excellent. I have both your DVDs but this is especially helpful. Thank you. I cheat a bit on long tail cast on. If I find I'm a bit short, I do a yarn over before my regular cast on stitch. Keeps it still nice and loose and that person on the galloping horse can't find it after you knit a row or two.

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

That’s a good tip!

@saraajayi-dopemu7180 2 года назад

Thank you Hazel for your wonderfully clear tips. I loved seeing the economy of movement that you and many other Shetland knitters achieve. My older sister taught me to knit "throwing" when I was five. I forever let go with my right hand to loop the stitches tucking the needle under my elbow to keep it from falling! What a difference a Shetland teacher would have made! Thanks from the USA.

@pagryzinski4632 2 года назад

I saw you using the 2 handed method for long tail cast on last year, and have done it that way ever since. I feel that I have much more control of the stitches and the tail yarn doesn't lose it's twist the way it does when I hold both yarns in the left hand.

Thank you so much for everything in this video. I really appreciated your demonstration using a makkin belt. I have just started knitting this way and it's making a big difference to some wrist pain I've been having. I was interested to see that you only used two needles to hold your work while knitting in the round, instead of three in a triangle shape. Is it possible to knit a jumper in this way? Thank you, Hazel.

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

@amidala3927 2 года назад

My mind is blown watching you knit a circular sweater ***with only three needles***. I usually spread over four and knit with a fifth, and I was so confused why my long double points to try with a knitting belt only came in pack of four. I guess that actually is one extra instead of one short!

@sarahgee8365 2 года назад

Thank you Hazel. Just starting to watch, and wondering how elastic the long tail cast-on methods are? (I use a similar cast-on with a twist, to make elastic cast-ons for socks etc. Maybe I should experiment!)

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

I use long tail for most things and it has enough stretch for socks.

@bikrgran 2 года назад

Thank you, Hazel! I feel so smart, knowing that, in my ignorance, I've been doing the fixes right! What yarn is that, that you are using, that has 2 plies just twisted loosely? Looks like a pain to knit with.

@bikrgran 2 года назад

One more thing...my needles fall out, when I use DPNs. How do I tighten my sts up, to prevent that? LOVE the belt knitting. Thanks, again.

@margarethastings3332 2 года назад

This was so interesting Hazel. I’m 71 and my mother taught me the thumb method of casting on. Until today, I never realised it was the same thing as the long tail cast on with one hand, which always looks so fancy and complicated. I was taught the two needle method at school and hated it because it always turned out loose and untidy. Now I see there is a purpose for it in lace knitting! I also learned to knit with long needles, one tucked under my right arm, but as I got older I found my left shoulder would start to ache. The belt would probably help with this…and the tip about tying your knitting to the belt makes so much sense. Great tutorial. 😁

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

That’s good to know! Long tail was the only one I knew for many years. Two needle seems to take so long but is good for lace.

@cyndylee544 2 года назад

My mother taught me the thumb method of casting on as well. I have learned to do it on one hand now, but I really prefer the thumb method because when you do it all on one hand the yarn untwists on the tail, but it does not do that when you do the thumb method. So I prefer the tail yarn NOT to untwist. So I think the thumb method is better for that reason. Just something I observed from doing both ways.

@jeankerr5503 2 года назад

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

@jand7782 2 года назад

Do you have a favorite knitting needle (metal or other material) and what length do you prefer? I'm hoping to someday learn to knit with a belt and the long DPNs.

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

I have some steel needles which I like as they are very smooth but at 40cm they are longer than I’d like. I fine 30cm or 35cm ideal.

most Shetlanders would knit an in the round jumper with a belt and long needles - usually you have the front on one needle, the back on one and knit with the third. :)
