Knitting Techniques

Here you can find help with basic knitting techniques and knitting tips. Links are provided for helpful YouTube Videos.
If you are a beginner knitter this section of the website has videos that explain how to cast on and off and how to knit.

If you want to avoid having knots in your work, allow 4 times the yarn length of the row you are working prior to beginning the row, that way you will discover any knots in the yarn prior to beginning a row. If there is a knot in the yarn, you need to break the yarn, removing the knot, and begin with the new section of yarn. This avoids knots in the middle of a row.
