In this episode of B.Hooked TV I’ll share the technique that, if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have quit knitting.
Have you heard of “tinking” before? This word was completely new to me until I started knitting again in 2016 and now I advocate that it’s one of the most valuable knitting skills you will learn. So what is tinking exactly? It’s the act of “undoing” your stitch when you realize you have done something wrong. Basically, if when you make a mistake in knitting, tinking will be your best friend!
B.Hooked TV is a new weekly series dedicated to helping you get better at your craft. I share a new video every Monday so you can start your week with yarn! Sometimes we talk about crochet techniques, sometimes knitting techniques, other times we may dive into project planning and productivity strategies.
Either way, the goal of the show is to make you a better crocheter and/or knitter. If this sounds like something you need in your crafty life, you can subscribe to the show on YouTube so you never miss an episode.
B.Hooked TV is based on your feedback which means each episode is created with your struggles in mind. Tell me your current struggle with crochet or knitting (or both) in the comment section below and you just might see me talk about it in a future episode!
Cheers!

Hello, I’m teaching myself to knit. I brought a set of straight bamboo needles. My goal is to learn how to knit doll clothing. I am a crocheted at heart (10yrs). My struggle with knitting is holding my needles comfortably, since I mainly crochet. I think once I can master that, I will get better with the stitches. Thank you for any help or advice you can give.

Hi Latoya! That’s great! Have you heard about continental knitting before? It’s where you hold the yarn in your non-dominant hand like you’re used to doing with crochet. Because I crocheted first as well, I knitted continental for a while before transitioning to the style you saw in this video (it’s called flick knitting). Here’s a quick tutorial on each if you want to check it out!
