Slow Motion PTBL

In this video I demonstrate the PTBL (purl through the back loop) stitch in slow motion.

The scarf on the mannequin (not my design) is Nauset Light Wrap. You can see this pattern here on Ravelry.

The needles I’m using are Knitter’s Pride Ginger DPNs. The yarn is just some leftover bulky wool.

With the Knitted Knockers tutorial coming out next week, I want to release this slo-mo video to cover the trickiest part of the project.

If you’d like to get ready for the Knitted Knockers tutorial, here is more info.
The free pattern we’re using
List of approved yarns
You can use magic loop or flexible double-points for Knitted Knockers, but I’ll be demonstrating on DPNs.

The needles I’m using are Knitter’s Pride Ginger double-pointed needles.
The yarn is Paintbox Yarns Chunky.
The scarf on the mannequin is Bay’s Edge (not my design). Here is my Ravelry project page with details on the yarn, etc.

Slow Motion Backwards Loop Cast-On

In this video, I demonstrate the Backwards-Loop CO in slow motion. This is not a sturdy CO, like one you would use to start a new project, but it is handy for adding a few stitches.

Sturdier cast-ons, good for starting a project –
Long-Tail CO
Knitted CO

The shawl on the mannequin is Lilli Pilli, link to my Ravelry project page.

The sweater I’m wearing is store-bought, not hand knit. 🙂
