I could listen to your instructions forever.Thanks!
Thank you soooo much for this tutorial. I have alot of knitted squares for a blanket. I didn’t want a bumpy seam. Mattress stitch wouldn’t be smooth. The whop stitch is just what the knitty angel gave me. Merci beaucoup pour vous talents et d’être un bon professeur.
I'm so privileged to be a Patreon Supporter! I encourage anyone who knits to join! Your technique videos are such a treasure!
Your grandmother was a wise woman indeed. Great tips, thank you.
Franklin, Franklin, Franklin. . . How you be so purrfect ? Obviously, you have taken great care with all aspects of your presentation. It must take many hours. I am so appreciative and humbled. Learning whilst enjoying the flow and relaxation - does it get any better? I think not. 🙏🏽
I am so glad that I waited to watch this when I can give it proper attention, excellent video wow
I love the horizontal mattress stitch. I could watch that for hours. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you, Franklin! It is a joy to be a Patreon! Your tips are always appreciated.
This is fantastic n comprehensive. Thanking you ❤❤
Thank you. I have never read/heard about pinning knitting to see seams, and I think this will radically alter (for the better!) my finishing. I also appreciate the helpful links to notions. Brilliant - you are such a thoughtful creator.
I’ve been working on a mitered square blanket. I pick up sometimes and sometimes I make a square and attach it. I think this tutorial will help with attaching. So far my seams have been wonky. ❤️
Just in time to force me to finish my hat (it was only missing the folded brim), thank you! Your videos are perfect, thank you for your work and for giving us insights from your grandmother ;)
And I forgot to say thank you - for both!!
Clear relaxing instructions thank you
What a fabulous explanation!!!! Thank you for sharing. I only wish my looked as perfect 🤩
I love the hat! Your tutorial is, as always, educational for all of us - and it is incredibly soothing to me to watch this!

Thank you! I was hoping it would be the kind of video you can watch even when you're not knitting...or at least, I like to watch gentle tutorials when I need some calm, and I hope others do, too :)

@@franklinhabit Indeed, this video brought me a sense of zen-like calm to my inflamed and fatigued muscles and tender spirit. I only had room for watching your gentle, non-judgmental tutorial. With heartfelt gratitude, thank you Franklin 🙏💓
I love watching tutorials. Yours are definitely classed in the upper echelon IMHO of tutorial viewing! Thank you kindly. A very necessary skill presented in such a lovely, calm, teaching atmosphere. I may revert to knitting my next sweater in pieces as opposed to in the round... Maybe 😉💕

Just a follow up to my original post. I decided to make a cabled sweater in pieces as opposed to in the round. So far so good! Thank you for the inspiration! I'm loving your Paris pictures. I hope your move brought/brings you peace and happiness. ❤️
Thank you for these clear instructions. I the past I usually did a mangled combination of these two stitches which is why I prefer to knit in the round.
HA! I like your grandmother!

@@franklinhabit She was correct about pinning.
The first technique reminds me of kitchener stitch for some reason.
Franklin, your instructions are so clear and your voice so calm - I feel totally confident trying these seaming techniques. Thank you so much for these videos (technique and otherwise).
Lovely! Thank you very much.

Am I tripping? In the two ways of doing the whip stitch, one in two motions and one in one motion, aren't you doing two different things in the video? Going external strand-internal strand in the first two motion technique and internal strand-internal strand in the second one motion technique? internal means that is closer to the wrong side, external means that is closer to the right side. Or are you even taking a strand in the second one? It may even seem that you are taking a knit-stitch! HELP! Or is it not a different way of doing in one motion but it was a different way to begin with?
