00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,198
- Hi, I'm Carla Scott, I've been knitting

2
00:00:05,198 --> 00:00:06,482
almost all my life.

3
00:00:06,482 --> 00:00:08,186
I started knitting at the age of seven

4
00:00:08,186 --> 00:00:10,080
and have been doing it ever since.

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,051
What I find really cool about knitting

6
00:00:12,051 --> 00:00:13,221
is that there are really just

7
00:00:13,221 --> 00:00:16,138
two basic stitches, knit and pearl.

8
00:00:16,795 --> 00:00:18,945
There is so much you can do with those two stitches,

9
00:00:18,945 --> 00:00:22,611
and I'm gonna walk you through those basics.

10
00:00:22,757 --> 00:00:24,347
I'll show you knitting and pearling

11
00:00:24,347 --> 00:00:26,817
in both the English and continental style.

12
00:00:26,817 --> 00:00:29,099
I'll show you how to alternate knit and pearl stitches

13
00:00:29,099 --> 00:00:31,675
to create stockinette stitch and ribbing.

14
00:00:31,675 --> 00:00:34,058
I'll talk about how to increase and decrease

15
00:00:34,058 --> 00:00:35,686
and stay into pattern.

16
00:00:35,686 --> 00:00:38,262
We'll cover how to change colors, how to fix

17
00:00:38,262 --> 00:00:42,344
a drop stitch, and finally, how to bind off in pattern.

18
00:00:42,344 --> 00:00:44,426
With just the basics of how to knit and pearl

19
00:00:44,426 --> 00:00:46,777
there are endless patterns that you can make.

20
00:00:46,777 --> 00:00:49,610
