Do you want to knit better? After the success of my last video, I went through all my notes and knitting journals looking for additional knitting tips that made me become the knitter I am today. These little things you can change that will make a huge difference in the long. You know, not just knitting tools you can use to knit easier, but rather specific techniques that will make your finished projects look neater. So, i will touch on knitting better edges, how to maintain an even tension, how to create a neat bind-off edge when knitting in the round, and so on. I also have some fun tips on lifted increases and a very smart way to circumvent complicated decreases that may be too difficult to knit

Errata: In the video, I said that k2tog and a bind-off is the same. I phrased this a bit weirdly. What I meant is that the fundamental construction of the resulting stitches is very similar. SSK and a standard-off are the same, tho!
