    @@thechillydog l knit since over 44 years, teach some teens since ab.2 years. I watch vids to notice if anything changed and if my knowledge is on best line to teach. And, nevertheless, l love to watch the videos! Sometimes l really see something, a trick, a kind of handholding e.g., that helps me although knowing a lot throuoh the years. Who tells knowing ALL is stupid! Additional l've got a handicap - hands and arms plus vertebrals, legs, all joints and nervs and nervs- muscle - connections - that makes it difficult to knit the way l did before. So l began to knit with the best knitting - needles, in my eyes HiyaHiya (HH) and Chiaogoo (CG) and put them together, by dremeling the first step away that's needed to fit adapters/needles to cables. I did this only with adapters, first. So l could use Mini - and S - cables of CG with HH - needles! L - needles get the adapters to S and everything is in range. HH - cables l only use for parking while knitting with the former there needed cable. Uuu, l love these red lace and blue cables of CG! They're the waaaaay best cables one can find! One doesn't need a switching end cause the wired cable leds all ok. I prefer the Mini - cables. Only very heavy fabrics get a S - cable! Connectors of CG fit to HH - cables(sometimes dremel 2 srew - windings away :) ) , aL S and Mini - HH - cables fit to CG - needles. With all these needles, 2 sets 2,75 to 10,00 mm needles and 1 red twist short combo 2,00 mm to 3,25 mm and 1 blue twist short combo set 3,5 mm to 5,0 mm l feel like in heaven for knitters. Watching your and a few other wonderful teachers here, Nele, Very pink knit, Elizza mostly, l have videos to show my pupils to hand them out for home studies if l'm not in reach if they need me during the week.l'm a teacher by heard and want they feel well and never alone like l always was since l began to use YT for patterns and then cause of my handicaps. They got too heavy by 2 accidently failed surgeries. I love to knit! Be blessed!

    As I was finishing the body of a top down sweater, I needed a refresher on tubular bind off and found your channel. It was terrific. And then when it came time to pick up sleeve stitches, which I almost dreaded, because of those pesky holes that ALWAYS were a finishing problem. I found your video. Sleeves are perfect for the first time. I can't tell you how many times they always needed some finessing in the finishing. Thank you!
