I’m largely a self-taught fiber artist. Back when I first learned to knit, I had a teacher. These days, there are more options, and one of the most useful is YouTube.
This is not a sponsored post. I’m not being paid to write about cool stuff that makes my life easier.
I’ve mentioned the Knitting Help website before, and I still think it’s one of the most useful resources out there for the knitting basics. But there’s more to knitting and spinning than the basics.
There are two YouTube videos I go back to on a semi-regular basis. One is an instructional video for Jeny’s surprisingly stretchy bind-off, because I don’t use it enough to remember how to get started (or how to continue, if it’s been a while). The other is a demonstration of navajo plying, which I will master one of these days. Right now I’ve only been able to ply one skein with that technique, and I’ve never been all that happy with the result. Someday….
Do you have any favorite videos?
