I'm doing a scarf this time. Knitting just kind of takes too long I think. I want cables, I want different colors. I want those cables to twist over each other and I want each one to be a different color. So in an effort to tame my undisciplined mind I've put up purl guardrails between the cables.

Speed knitting! It's already October and you haven't finished any of those sweaters you promised everyone for Christmas so HOP TO IT.
Speed knitting isn't a thing, but people (myself included) will try their hardest to insist it exists. In this video I go over good old continental for knitting and the mysterious, chilly Norwegian purl. Learn these two things and you'll be set for life. FOR LIFE!

It's not fun to drop a stitch! In this video I'm going over the basics (the BASICS, people!) of what to do when said stitch gets the aforementioned and always dreaded drop. It's much easier to fix than you'd think!

Knitting is weird. You've got maybe like, 4 or 5 basic building blocks (your purls, your knits, your whatevers), and from those come endless possibilities. Billions. Endless. And it's HIGHLY LIKELY one of the fabrics you end up knitting is going to be... lets say... not the greatest. So I've done a video to demonstrate the basic, inherent issues with how you mix your favorite knitting styles.
Of course I'm no authority on the matter, but these are just a few of the little things I've noticed through trial and error while knitting and so I put it in a video. Nice animation at least, right?
