Hello, lovely knitters! In this video, I demonstrate the technique of helix knitting. Helix knitting involves working several yarns in continuous spirals, which creates jogless stripes and avoids the need to carry yarn floats up several rows in between colour changes. The actual knitting part of helix knitting isn’t complicated, but keeping the yarn balls organised to avoid tangling the yarns requires a little concentration.

Brioche increases and decreases, Continental style and English style. brk: brioche knit also known as bark, knit the stitch (that was slipped in the previous row) together with its yarn over. brkyobrk: Two new stitches spring out of the center of one stitch with this increase. Work a brkyobrk as follows: brk1 (leave stitch on the needle), yo (yarn forward under needle then over needle to back), then brk1 into same stitch. 2 sts increased. brp: brioche purl also known as burp, purl the stitch (that was slipped in the previous row) together with its yarn over. brLsl dec: (2-stitch decrease that slants to the left, involving 3 sts) Slip the first stitch knit-wise, brk the following two stitches together, pass the slipped stitch over. brRsl dec: (a 2-stitch decrease that slants to the right, involving 3 sts) Slip the first stitch knit-wise, knit the next stitch, pass the slipped stitch over, place stitch on left hand needle and pass the following stitch over.

How to crochet a 3D wavy shell stitch border edging. This crochet pattern works great on the edge of baby blankets, afghans, shawls, scarves, and more. It is created by making a shell stitch on top of a solid double crochet border. The shells form a 3D wave or ripple effect. The stitches used in this pattern include the chain, double crochet, and slip stitch. You can use any size or weight yarn you wish.

An intriguing technique using two Tunisian Crochet hooks to make a textured fabric which is the same on both sides. It isn't knitting, it isn't crochet, it isn't Tunisian Crochet either. What it looks like is both casting on and casting off at the same time; you cast off one hook while casting on to the other hook.

This video was promised to the Facebook groups Knitting & Australian Handspinners & Knitters. It was first taught in 1989 (as far as we can find out) by Rosemary Fleming (deceased) of Hervey Bay QLD Australia.

Useful tip for Garter stitch on a knitting loom: do both rows at once. (Whether or not this saves time, it FEELS like it saves time) Note that in this video, the first stitch is being slipped. This is not required; one can work the first stitch if one wants to (depending on the pattern, of course).
