You are the only one so far that has explained that the needle size is measured TIP TO TIP. You explain things a little better, with extra details, than others. thank you!

I've just learned that too. Thought it was just the wire part!!
I was really intimidated by knitting (I'm a crocheter) but I found a nice hat pattern for my partner who's about to go through chemo and with your tutorials I was able to get the hang of it in a few hours. Thank you!

Are they okay?
You really are a great instructor. Your instructions are very clear and concise. You give great instruction for those considering knitting, but hesitate because they think they can't do it.

Thank you for your kind words! You’re right. Giving knitters confidence is exactly what I aim to do!
I'm not a beginner anymore but I never skip anything in the videos marked for beginners because there's always something, a tip/hack that I was aware so far or I forgot about it. Thank you, Davina, for always being super informative and making knitting so easy and such a fun thing to do.

Thank you for your kind comment. You made my day! 🤗
You are amazing I’ve tried so hard to find a video to show me how to knit in the round . I considered myself a circular needle loser. Im making preemie hats for my local NICU and there are patterns that require circular needles. Your video and your teaching methods are exemplary! I’m going to try and make a preemie hat! Thank you so much and the babies who get a hat thank you! I will follow all your videos. I think I will no longer be a loser!
Fantastic! I knew there had to be a way to join while knitting rather than after the fact. I actually take notes when you teach!!!! You are definitely gifted. 😊
Hi Davina. I just turned 60 and thought this is the right age to learn how to knit with circular needles! Thank you for your tutorial videos. Greetings from South Africa. Lettie
You are my favourite knitting instructor! Thanks for being so thorough yet so concise. Also, love your energy!
I am a brand new knitter and have watched many different channels for guidance. (Who knew how much there was to learn?!) I have found your videos the most helpful, clear, and reassuring by far! Thank you!! Subbed--and spreading the word about your fabulous channel!!

Thank you! The world of knitting is vast and exciting. I still learn new things after close to 20 years of knitting!
Thankyou so much for teaching me how to knit. A couple of years ago, I learned the basics from your videos (straight knitting) which I knit a couple of baby blankets from and 3 seamed cardigans. I'm so thankful that you never make anyone feel uncomfortable for not already knowing stuff. Also I definitely love the colour and the chunky texture of the yarn you're using in this video.
That final tip is a lifesaver. I tried knitting a hat (twice) with circular needles that were simply too long and I was confused why the size turned out so wonky. Now I know I was just using the wrong materials! You helped me restore a little faith in my knitting abilities lol

Do you mind me asking what size needles you used? I'm using 24 inch when my instructions say to use 16 inch. Maybe it won't turn out?

they were 29 inch, so I truly had no idea what I was doing and just bought the first ones I saw at Michael's@@hannahmiller5515
Now I understand why I always found it hard to start with round knitting. I was choosing the wrong needle length for my projects! Thanks for really informative video!
Thank you so much. You explain and demonstrate so clearly. I can’t thank you enough. I am a beginner as far as knitting in the round and you answered so many questions for me. Happy Knitting!
Thank you so much 😁. I’ve always been scared to try circular knitting as a new knitter and I just tried it after watching this video, and I successfully am working on my first beanie in the round 😆
I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched trying to get this. I think I finally got it! Thank you so much!
After many years of knitting blankets and shawls I am going to knit my first "in the round" pattern. Your video is very helpful, thank you!

Thank you Davina , I’m wait for my needle and yarn to arrive to attempt my first go at knitting in the round , this video was super helpful ❤
Such great timing on this! This is exactly what I needed to learn right now. My friend needs a hat and I just happen to come across a pattern that uses this method of knitting in the round. I’ve never done this before and after watching your video, I feel confident to give it a go. Thank you.

PERFECT instruction, complete with rewind and samples of what to avoid.
You are really great at explaining, going slowly, using thicker needles so it's easier to see, and repeating. Some of the other knitting tutorial videos indicate they're for beginners but they explain as though you're not, as though they forgot what it was to be a beginner!! You seem to understand that beginner means beginner. Thanks so much!!
Davina - you have changed my life! As a beginning knitter, I search out your videos for every question I have. Thank you!!!!!
Love your tutorials! So clear and helpful.
Thank you! I'm a total beginner, and I find your videos extremely helpful!
Thanks for another excellent tutorial, Davina. My question was about figuring out how many stitches work with what length, and finally got the answer at the very end of the tutorial, that helps very much. Thanks!
Hi, Thank YOU! 2 years ago I started knitting again ( mainly sweaters for the doll of my granddaughter) and now I am ready for a next challenge: circular knitted sweater for my granddaughter. I was actually a bit overwhelmed at first, but thanks to your video I feel more confident to start it up! Will let you know how it goed 🙂
I wouldn’t be knitting if it weren’t for your instructions. Please keep it up!!❤
You are a great knitting teacher...very clear and slow enough for beginners like myself to "get it". Thank you.
You have given me the confidence to try knitting in the round. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow, you are a very good teacher. Thanks
Hi, Davina. I love your knitting videos. You have taught me how to knit from 0 knowledge just one month ago to now being able to cast on, knit, cast off, make a scarf, and now on to try knitting in the round to make a sweater! Thank you.
I'm a brand new, self-taught knitter. The website I've been using prefers almost exclusively double-pointed needles but I just got my first (sample) set of circular needles yesterday and was excited to try them out. Thank you for showing me how! (I also now know I need a shorter set!)
Just got my first pattern that says knit in round. This will be an adventure. Tutorial very clear and easy to follow. X❤
Thanks so much for the refresher, I've not picked up my needles for several years and this was concise, clear and perfect x

I really love your videos. They're super simple, and easy to learn with!
Loved this video so much, your tutorial is spot on and I’m now confident in knitting in the round. Thanks also for the extra stitch tip for a seamless join. ❤
I got into knitting about a month ago and didn't know anything! Watching your long tail caston got me started, from there I learned the basic garter stitch. (I think) but I decided to tru round needles and this is really helpful! One of these days I'm going to sit and watch all the how tos you have as you explain it in such an easy way my brain fog doesn't creep in. Thank you for making such amazing tutorials!❤
Super helpful! I’m a new knitter and just starting to try circular. You gave a lot of heads up on potential problems that probably saved me hours of frustration. Thanks!
I think I can do this! You explain things very simply and precise! Thank you!😊
Davina, thank you so much I love knitting and it's all because of your helpful tutorials !!! Thank you for being such a great teacher❤ ❤❤❤

Knitting in the round intimidates me but this is a great video to help me get over that hurdle! Thanks! 😍
Wow, that was so clear! You answered all my questions! I was concerned about having to buy shorter circular needles but see now that it’s not necessary for knitting sweaters for adults. Thank you sooooooo much for your detailed instructions!
Thank you I’m just starting to knit in the round today and I’ve found your video so easy to follow and I’m now looking forward to making my first woolly hat ❤
Loved the way you have showed us the seamless round.

i had never done this without a teacher present. thank you for such clear instuctions!
I am so pleased to have learned your seamless join. It has made a huge difference and upgrade to the appearance my projects. Thank you So much!
This has been the most helpful video I’ve ever seen for knitting. THANK YOU!!!
You explained everything I needed to know about knitting in the round. I really appreciate. Thanks!
Very clear and easy to follow thankyou. Helpful to know about knitying on shorter needles than the finished item.
I’ve knitted in the round several times now (thanks to some older videos of yours), but I still loved watching this video because there’s something about how you specifically knit that is weirdly soothing to watch 😂😅 Also, that twisted piece from the twisted cast on set up actually inspired a new project for me! So cool!!!

Thank you so much for your kind comment ☺️ and yes I think intentionally inserting a twist can be a really cool design element in a headband or cowl or more!
This is the best tutorial for knitting in the round I have seen thank you so much
You are a pleasure to listen to and watch!😊
New to knitting. Granddaughters 6 and 8 made bamboo needles for me and gave me yarn and taught me last Christmas. I have made two scarves for myself and a scarf each for my three kitties, two medium large blankets that just cover me. Now I just learned to purl yesterday and am doing quite well. I would love to make a real blanket. I am guessing the round is the only way. I do have a large needle round. I saved your videos and found them informative and easy to understand for me. Thank you.
Thank you this helps me so much I crochet normally but been trying to get my brain to do knitting
😊 Thank yu so much for the video of knitting in the round and how to join the yarn. Im more like an advanced beginner when it comes to knitting. Ive done scarves, cowels, dishclothes a blanket. Cant wait to try working in the round.
I can't express my gratitude enough! I just could NOT figure out how these circular needles were supposed to work 🥲 Very clear and concise explanation ❤
Great video. Just got my first circular needles and was a little stumped at where to start. Thanks for not just telling but also explaining why.
You are the best knit teacher ever! I learned to knit by watching your videos. I always learn so much from you. I love watching because you are happy, informative, knowledgeable, and overall awesome!

Hey this is pretty cool! My grandma asked me if I knit the round and I had to say I didn't. Now, I'm excited to give it a try. Thank you!!
I am always excited to see a new video from you! I have learned so much about knitting and what to do and not to do. Thank you for this one -- I'm about to start my first hat so this was perfect timing.

Excellent teacher. You are the only one I was able to understand.
So clear and understandable, thank you! Also, the way you hold/tension the yarn in your right hand is so interesting and looks so ergonomic! I think I'd like to try that out. Do you happen to have any videos on that technique? No worries if you don't!
I'm really enjoying these beginner videos. You've helped me with so many things I wouldn't have had a clue how to fix if you hadn't made a video about them.

I watched this as a refresher since it’s been years since I have done any yarn work. After I casted on 180 stitches I started working on my first round. Then you showed the trick for a seamless join. I quickly frogged back 40 or so stitches lol. I love this trick! Thank you so much for sharing it.
