The tip on decreases is very helpful. I have a shawl pattern along with the yarn that works all decreases (and increases) in purl. I found it very difficult especially when I’m expected to purl 3 together. I gave up right away. I’ve had the pattern for about 3 years. I tighten up my stitches too. It’s usually as I’m preparing to do the next stitch. I’ve noticed that my purls need more tightening than my knits.

@@katherinelipsich7724 I knit by throwing, so I guess that's English style. I have figured out that since I hold my working needle in my left hand and my holding needle in my right, I read lace charts from bottom left towards the right, since that is the direction I am knitting. My ssk stitches lean right instead of left and my k2tog stitches lean left instead of right. Since I am mostly knitting top down raglan sweaters in the round right now, I switch those stitches out on the pattern, especially for waist shaping. I use life lines often because sometimes I have to just try it the way the pattern says and if it doesn't look as it should I troubleshoot from there. Most of the time i can follow the pattern and take into account I am knitting in the opposite direction and it works out fine. I have not attempted to knit a cardigan sweater in pieces yet, but I have figured out that when the pattern says I am knitting the right front piece, I can just follow the pattern, but what I will end up with is a left front piece, and vice versa. I'll still end up with both pieces. All this involves some extra mental gymnastics, but so far I am just happy to call myself a knitter after decades of thinking it was something unavailable to me.

When I got frustrated with my tension and practising for having stitches that slide at a gentle push with a finger but stay on the needle when I lift it on one tip I rememered our cat an the way it moves. Taking that memory into my wrists and fingers caused a bit improvement. I love knit stitch selvages and since I work them like a cat carefully drawing something towards itself with extended paw and claws they look good. I have fun finding cat movements for other stitches, too.

Thanks for #7! I'll be working on incorporating lifted stitches now! I also love the ssk/ k2tog tip about shuffling stitches. I'm knitting cable socks right now, not my first pair but I find myself getting soo frustrated with the stretched appearance near my cables and I'm going to try your way of shuffling asap. Thanks Norman!

Thank you for putting all these together. I used some but your methods made them look so much better. It feels as cobwebs have been brushed away.

I have been knitting for over 50 years and I still learned so much from you. Regarding SSK I have a simple tip-after knitting several rows I even up the alternate stitch with the point of my knitting needle-just insert and pull gently. Thank you for sharing

Anyone who ever managed to knit one stitch deserves encouragement and my respect. I know how hard it can be to get started and how proud everyone should be they mastered it. Thank you for sharing your feedback with me, Angela. It is much appreciated

Thank you again for 10 more tips! I am a sock knitter, so I was very happy to see the fix for a sock cuff binding and ladders too.

Hi Norman, I’m an experienced sock knitter and discovered toe up but just couldn’t manage the yarn around fingers for the Judy Magic cast on. After loads of practice I now wind the yarn over the needles on my knee, soft fabric trousers help. It works and I’m always so thrilled when I do this fabulous cast on. Only knit toe up now, brilliant ❤
