Beginner Knitting Tutorial

This Beginner Knitting Tutorial was filmed live on Facebook with 4 cast-ons, showing how to knit and how to purl as well as Binding off and tons of tip in-between.

It was fun to interact with people and they felt like it was their own personal class with me. I encourage you to join us next time! The live chat allows you to ask questions and get immediate responses.

You will also learn how to tink, knit backwards, to fix a mistake and yarn over at the beginning of a row and in the middle.

The following is a full 90 minute lesson in a video tutorial by Kristen Mangus at GoodKnit Kisses. Live comments and interaction can be seen and heard as well. Be sure to catch knitting live chats and demonstrations on Wednesdays at http://www.facebook.com/goodknitkissesyoutube

Please note below the video are timestamps to fast-forward to the section you need to watch. Feel free to bookmark this page to come back for reference or catch us at www.youtube.com/goodknitkisses for for more knitting tutorials and more!
