Staci, I am so thankful that your irises have healed so you can continue to bring us your wonderful tutorials.

Clear and careful demonstration. In all my right-handed life I've never been able the carry the yarn in my right hand unless I'm using two yarns. I don't know why I can't produce good stitches with the right. It's so embarrassing and makes it hard to teach knitting. Good to meet you. 😃

I, too, love the look of the KFB purl bumps, but I have trouble accomplishing the KFB as I knit so tightly. Was looking for an alternative, and here it is! Thank you; I've learned much from your videos.

This looks like a great alternative to the standard knit and yo increase beginning each row in crescent shawls, which creates a very inelastic edge. Can't wait to try this. Thanks, Staci :) Love your videos!!

I am working on a sleeve and this saved me! As a newish knitter, my tension was SO tight on the kfb increase. This totally helped, thanks!

Staci, Maybe the 2nd thing you wanted to talk about was mirroring the stitch ... like you would on a raglan sweater? I'm going to work up a sample using this stitch in a raglan motif and see how it works out. Always love the techniques you share with us!! I've learned more from you in the past couple years than I did over the last couple decades by other means! Thank you for your love of knitting!

Oh where has this been all my life!?! Thanks for sharing, it's a perfect alternative!

This is quite nice! Love adding to my repertoire! It really looks good in the work! Thanks for sharing.

BRAVO!! I'm about to frog my armholes because I'm not a fan of the KFB purl bump....I thought there has to be another way... and found you! THANKS SO MUCH for showing me this alternative Knit-Front-Slip! You've created a new acronym in knitting KFS!

Thank you! I am a crocheter getting back into knitting (I used your videos to make socks). My friend showed me the continental method and I'm thrilled she did! The pattern I'm using to learn just happens to have KFB. So I've been working on that stitch. Next time I'm going to use this easier option! :)

I can't tell you how much I appreciate and love your videos. You are so succinct !! Thank you so much for all the time you put into these video tutorials! They mean so much to me :)

Fantastic and so clever. Not sure why I'm surprised, seems to be the way you roll. I absolutely love that new way. Thank you Stacy and Casie brilliant idea.

This is actually awesome! I'm a new knitter and I'm working on a shawl. KFB is used a lot but I like this version better. Can't wait to try it, thanks!

Knitting more than 50 years and still learning! thanks for this tip + video; I'll be using this alternate to kfb. : )

I love it. I don't always like the purl bump showing, so this is great. Can't wait to try it.

Love this! Thanks for yet another awesome technique video (and thanks to Casey for having you do it)!!! 😘

Thank you so much. I have never liked the purl bump in my increase. Great way to make an increase.

I love learning from your videos. Your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. I've never actually used the KFB stitch, and now I know two new techniques for increasing stitches. I was making a dishcloth last week (which I learned how to do from your video) and I was wondering how you could increase in the middle of your work without making a lacy hole. Now I know 2 ways. Thank you!

Loving this increase so neat and far easier to do than M1, or Kfb. Thank you. Hope your eyes are better.

Helpful video. It helped me in doing my shawl I'm working on currently. I've played it back several times.

Thank you for mentioning about the podcast. I am a new sub so thank you, I don't even know about the podcast. So once again thank you. I will definitely listen to the podcasts.

I am so excited about this!!!!!! A new KFB for me.... thanks for sharing!

Love this new method and having another choice for increases. Thank you.

You have solved my knitting problem AND stopped my awful cussing as well - two excellent fixes :). Thank you so much xxx

I really like the knit front, slip. Thanks for sharing... you did an excellent job!

This is mad! I’m a beginner and my first time doing a kfb I have just learnt I’m using it as a slip stitch! I came on to this channel as I was worried I was doing a kfb wrong. So I guess either way I do it is ok.

I think that is wonderful, thank you for showing an alternate way to KFB !

Thanks for the new technique and the helpful tip. I always love your videos.

Love the technique. Both can be useful depending out what your project needs. Thanks for the tip.

You always make things so clear! Thank you!

After I found your channel here I found your podcast by chance and whenever I look something up I click on your videos they are the best. Thank you.

Oh! I Love the look of those needles!!!

What a beautiful set of needles! If I hadn't just gotten a set of the Platinas I would've definitely considered these.

Nice! Will try this when putting the edging on my mitered square blanket! Thanks, Stacy!

Tried the KFS increases on the toe of socks I started knitting. Worked great! This may be my go to increase for socks instead of the M1 or lifted increases.

Thank you so much, Staci! That is definitely one I'm going to use in future projects!

Thank you! KFB is my go to increase but this is a great improvement! Cheers!

This is incredible! Thank you so much, I can't wait to try this!

Thank you! I love your videos!! The instruction is so clear and very helpful!

Super nice, thank you for the new stitch!

Love it, thank you very much. Your tutorials are the best.

Thanks! I love the look of that increase!

Really great idea! and doesn't leave any holes. I agree that sometimes the purl bumps are decorative but not always Thanks very much -

Thanks for this! I've definitely found patterns where I don't want the purl bump so I'm going to use this :D

Knit front, slip back. KFSB.

Nancy Campbell much better name since it is easier to understand exactly how to do it from the name alone and not read or watch a description in how todo it.

OMG, this is on the same level as the German short rows for me--life altering! Thank you so much for all of your videos; I have a special playlist for them & refer back frequently. You're the best!

I like the look of kfb also, when it fits into the pattern decoratively, and I agree with your comment that it "looks like a ballet" when you're doing it, lol. However, sometimes a smoother result is more desirable. I just finished my first crescent shawl, which uses several kfb increases at the beginning, the area that ends up being top center of the shawl. After restarting several times, I finally got my tension loose enough to greatly reduce the tightness of the "hump" in that area, but even after blocking it isn't as smooth as I would have liked. I now realize my kfb increases might be the reason for that. Not a huge deal, but still, I'm going to try this alternative next time and see how it looks. Thanks for the video, and thanks to Casey for suggesting it. :)

YES!!! Omg so much easier! I am getting SO frustrated with these stupid kfb increases, it just DOESN'T work for me...everything gets so tight I can't do anything! Thank you for all of your videos, you are incredibly helpful!

Crazy how simple that is. I actually like it aesthetically more than the traditional kfb. Hey, you up for a video suggestion? Helix knitting! There are a couple of (relatively craptacular) videos out there, but it'd be a great addition to your library thanks to your teaching skillz. It's the premier way to do single-row color stripes since a traditional jog correction doesn't work with stripes less than two rows tall. Working on a project doing it now and it's magical as hell.

Perfect timing!!! I'm trying my first raglan sweater, grandson sized that is. Maybe I'll try this new stitch? Thanks so much.

thank you so much for sharing this stitch I love it

This is wonderful! Thank you for this great tutorial.

Really love this! Such a good idea

Awesome Staci!!! Thanks Bunches!!! I have not really been a fan of the small hole that is left with a KFB, I'm very excited to try this increase out!!! ; >

I love this.... can't wait to give it a try. Thanks 😊

Love it!!! I like the Knit Front, Slip back. Very catchy and easy to abbreviate-kfsb

Tried this and really like it. Thanks for the vid!

Thanks so much for this. You may have just saved my life.

I like it! You know, I have always done thst little tug thing...It just makes me Ferlinghetti better about my stitches.. I do the same thing when crocheting.. The TUG reins!

So great! Thanks!

Wow easier and niceier 😍 thank you 🌺

oh my! Merry Christmas to me! I believe knitting should be enjoyable not frustrating: you have made it enjoyable: simple explanations great time savers! Thank You: Glad I "accidentally " discovered your site!

This is a great technique! Thanks

Love it! Thanks for sharing!

I was also wondering if this could be mirrored. Thanks for the video!

That is so cool!! Thank you so much!!

Ohhhh, I really like this!

I love this! Thanks so much!

Amazing! Thanks for the tip. Love your videos

KFSB works for me! Thank you.

Good one. I learned this as a kf and slip in front? I slip in front as if to purl. It's my go to for toe up socks. It makes it easy to tell if I'm on an increase or a regular round.

I love this...thanks!!

Very helpful thank you from Turkey.

Thank you so much!

well since i'm a new knitter and have never even made a increase will just go with the easier one for now. thanks!

Thank you its look very easy and nice

Great! I encountered kfb for the first time & its awkward for me. Easy to follow tutorial

I like it! Thank you!

Brilliant!

Thanks for sharing this technique it will work great for my stuffed animals 😊

Thank you so much.

This is slick!

Wow! Thank you!

Awesome! Would you recommend the knit slip technique for making increases in amigurumi?

Ohh its nice i was searching thnku

Love it! Thanks :)

amazing!!

Love your videos. Always look for them first. When I do KFB increases back to back for raglan sweaters, I always get a ladder in between them, why?

I have a scarf pattern that has a KFBF could i still slip the back then knit the front a second time? This looks much easier. Thank you! 😃

hi Stacey, will the new knit front and slip stitch ok leave a whole in the work like yarn overs do?

Thank you!!

I have a pattern where there are left and right increases would this stitch work for these?

Same question here. This kfsb looks like a left leaning decrease no? If so, what would be the "mirror" right leaning increase?

Interesting new technique... how would that be worked on the purl side? For pfb and pbf?

I was wondering the same thing.

I've been looking for an alternative. I don't mind the trad kfb look on the edge of a corner to corner blanket as it is a bit of boarder but not in the middle of my work. Just wondering if the pfb can be done in a similar way

This will be fun to try next time I need to do an increase. Do you see any reason not to use it instead of M1L or M1R? Do you lose the slant? Did you make this up yourself?

Genius!!

Can you use this with KFBF? If so can you so us or point us to the video? and on the reverse how again do you do that? I'm new to this stitch completely :) I'm going to search your channel I'm bran new and I love your video! will subscribe!

Solo good!!! Dankeshön!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Does this also work well with 'in the round' knitting?
