    THIS is absolutely the BEST example of how to knit. Your perfect description of HOW to do this, accompanied by your slowly measured and unhurried gentle movements, guide us artfully through each step. Other videos are way too quick to catch visually. YOU ARE A NATURAL at teaching! EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. THANK YOU.

    I am a crocheter. I tried knitting a few different times and just couldn’t get it. Once I finally told myself that I WAS going to learn, I was determined! This is the exact pattern on why I wanted to learn; to make the same dish clothes that my grandma has made for everyone her entire life. With this tutorial, I am able to make that happen! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to surprise my grandma that I didn’t give up on knitting. ♥️
