Has the video been removed? It won't run in either Firefox or IE. Any suggestions?

I love this tip. Also you knit real fast, I think that is great. I am waiting on myself to knit that fast. I am still getting use of knitting. I can crochet quickly cause I have done it for years.

Excellent video- I'm anxious to give it a try. However, on the first row , when I am joining the ends to make the round I ALWAYS end up with a gap at the join spot. What am I doing wrong??

Sheryl, go on youtube and look up continental knitting. That's how I knit and I love it! It is easier plus I have carpal tunnel and it used to be that I would have to shake off my hands after only about 10 minutes of knitting, but with continental, I can knit as long as my heart desires (or until my dh wants his dinner, he he) Added bonus, it looks really cool and when you knit with 2 colors you can use one color and knit con. and use the other color and knit regular. Talk about impressive looking. And really it is so easy. It just makes people think you are a whole lot smarter than you are. (or I am)

Also, look up on youtube for fastest knitter if you think that is fast! There is a woman there who is really insane!

Excellent tutorial, thanks Eunny!!!

I have plenty of DPN, but since I started using circular I'm stuck on the magic loop for toe-up, and cuff down socks and with the addi turbo lace .... my goodness!!!! For me socks seem to knit themselves. lol, no, this is not paid advertisement, I am just so wonderfully pleased at the many ways a knitter could get the same project done...knitting is more user-friendly than I could ever have imagined.

Watching videos on the internet is how I learned to knit two years ago. I started out knitting a friend's baby blanket in garter stitch, and now I'm knitting socks! I've found it's easier to read those step-by-step instructions now that I know what it's supposed to look like; I just have to ignore those little drawings most of the time, or I get confused.

For some reason though (I'm thinking because it's a YouTube video and I'm at work), I'm not able to watch this one. After the comments, I'm really, really excited to watch it, since I love learning new techniques, and I just finished a little purse that I did in the round using two different colors. I would like to know how to avoid those jogs in the future!

You can have stripes that are more than one row high using the spiral "jogless jog" technique on socks. Rather than using 4 different colors, use two. Start with one color on two needles, and the other color on the other two needles, and you will have two row stripes. Start with one color on three needles and one color on the last needle, and you will have 3 rows in one color, and one row in the other color.
